A double bass graduation

DOUBLE...your bass...
DOUBLE your fun!

This week I was asked to sculpt a double bass cake
for a graduate from music school. As an instrumental
major she loves her instrument...I hope she loved her
cake a little too!!

The process begins, and the cake begins to
take shape...

I got to experiment with hand painting for this
project....

The happy painter...

Strings made of floral wire....supports of
rice cereal treats covered in fondant-the body
of the cake was vanilla butter cake and
chocolate buttercream filling.

Here she is...in all of her glory.
I hope you think she is pretty...

That cake looks incredible, Tara ... is this a part-time thing or a full-time job now?

A Very Girly Birthday Cake...

Tara, I couldn't wait to come home to email you about this cake. It (and you) were the hit of the party. That is literally the conversation I had over and over with everyone. The main comment was "This cake is so Celeste!" and beautiful. The only regret I had was that I did not have your card to hand out. Everyone wanted to know all about you. It not only was perfect in every way, it tasted phenomenal! Celeste, my cousin, just loved everything about it. She really did not want me to cut it, but I assured her that we had pictures and that the guests wanted to taste it. Again, it far exceeded every wonderful expectation I had, which made it more than wonderful Tara! Really great....

Thanks,

Kelly Keh

Shoe Cake...

The cake was the focal point of the evening. We were absolutely amazed at the design that you came up with. The name in the shoe!! That just "took the cake"!! The colors and detail were so so cute! And then there was the eating of the cake. So many of our guests said that when a cake is decorated so beautifully as yours, often the taste is just so so. We had people asking for a second piece. We were positively delighted with everything, Tara. Your excellence is such a reflection of the God who you serve. Congratulations on the creative genius which you so generously share with us. We love you and thank you for everything.

Gift Box Cake...

YEY for the cakes in Tara's dreams!!! What a hit the package and the doggie made. When people saw it their jaws LITERALLY dropped. Everyone asked about you and your business. The carrot cake and buttercream was superb. My aunt absolutely loved the package, the bow, the flowers, the beads, the signage, the colors, and the westie. Tara, it made such a big hit. Everyone with a camera took photos of the cake! You deserve another giant hug and great big THANKS. Thank you for the wonderful work of art you prepared for us. Everyone cringed when the cake got cut but Betty Jean has all the commemoratives that you made: the lid, the flowers, the doggie, etc. as a forever keepsake. You did good, Girl!!

LOVE and thanks
