50s Birthday Bash- The Sock Hop

We had the privilege to help honor Jane for her 85th birthday with this amazing cake and matching cupcakes. Liz and Stephanie helped arrange this beautiful 50s sock hop themed party and display for their mom (with the help of their other siblings and family) on Saturday. Chocolate and vanilla cakes with vanilla buttercream and edible image/fondant accents, plus matching cupcakes in lemon, carrot cake, red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla. Thank you for the opportunity, Liz and Stephanie. We hope it was a wonderful party! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #50ssockhopparty #thisis85

Twins’ Birthday 🥳

Two weekends ago, we celebrated twins Emma & Cole turning 12. They chose opposite flavor style cakes and wanted a cool picture on top. Emma chose a rich, decadent triple chocolate cake with ganache filling & icing with a picture of her cat Poppy. Cole chose a strawberry shortcake of yellow cake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, sporting a picture of him kayaking. Both cakes were a hit! Thanks for the opportunity, Heather! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #oppositetwins

Splash Zone 💦

We made a ‘splash’ with Alice’s pool cake! Almond funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream and gel ‘water’. We even made the twisty tube slide her community pool has! We also did vanilla funfetti cupcakes to match the cake! Thanks for the opportunity, Erin! We hope it was a hit! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #poolcake

Spooky Cat 🎃 🐈‍⬛

It’s almost spooky season!! Kristie and her family love Halloween 🎃. So for her son’s 5th birthday, we presented Spooky Cat on a life-like carved jack-o-lantern made of vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream. Thanks for letting us be your caker, Kristie! And happy birthday, Ian!! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #spookycat #jackolanterncake

Ramen, anyone?

This may be one of our favorite cakes! Corinne’s next cake was for son Michael, crafted in mid July. This ramen bowl was epic. And huge! 2.5 full batches of gluten free vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream filling, covered in fondant, with hand made fondant ramen noodles, shrimp, pork, and onions. And don’t forget that gravity defying helping of ramen on chopsticks. Thanks for trusting us to make magic for your kids’ birthdays, Corinne! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #ramenbowl #isitcake

Tsum Tsum!

Our amazing client Corinne trusts us to do all her family’s cakes. All 3 kids have summer birthdays. We’re going to work backwards. Yesterday we delivered Ruthie’s Disney Tsum Tsum cake. Gluten free vanilla with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant. We also made 8 Disney Tsum Tsum cake pop characters (gluten free vanilla cake) covered in fondant. It was a hit! We appreciate you, Corinne! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #disneytsumtsum

Graduation 👩🏼‍🎓

Still running behind on posts! We did this graduation cake a few weeks ago for Corrina’s step daughter. She graduated John Carroll HS and is off to ECU (East Carolina University). The cakes were red velvet (top) and vanilla (middle), with vanilla buttercream and edible image school logos. The soccer ball top was Rice Krispie treats, covered in fondant. Cupcakes were chocolate with vanilla buttercream. Thanks for the opportunity, Corrina. We hope they were all a hit! #LikealotCakes #cakerlife #jesslife #graduationcake ##johncarrollgrad #ECU
