Another grooms cake. 

This guy loves to go fishing with his dog! We built this cake to look like a mountain with the fishing lake at the top of the mountain.  

Hey, it looks like he caught a big one!

Classic Elegance

This cake is a perfect example of a classic romantic wedding cake with a modern twist.  

Fondant is airbrushed with a pearl glaze to give it a shine and crystals accents give the flowers and the cake some extra "bling". 

The "Bling" Factor is a popular trend I'm happy is sticking around for a while.

Buttercream Ribbons

Layers upon layers of buttercream "ribbons" is what gives this cake it's beautiful texture.  

Spray the whole cake with a little pearl dust and you have a gorgeous satin finish.

What every girl wants for their birthday... Louis & Tiffany!

This cake was for a lucky birthday girl who had a Tiffany inspired birthday bash. 

What girl doesn't love fancy shoes and jewelry?

(especially if you can eat them?)

Coconut Texture

One of my favorite looks. Perfect for any season, but especially cool for winter weddings. 

This cake is covered in large flakes of unsweetened coconut.  

The coconut doesn't affect the taste of the cake (being unsweetened), but gives the cake a wonderful and unique texture. 

Chocolate Roses

 White, dark and milk chocolate roses. 

Delicious and Beautiful addition to this wedding cake. 

Basic Wedding Cake

Here is a perfect example of a basic cake priced at our base price of $400.  

Fondant tiers, basic detail and ribbon.  

This cake serves about 120

Diagonal Buttercream

Textured buttercreams are a great alternative to you fondant haters out there.  

The texture gives buttercream cakes a modern feel.

If you want a perfectly smooth cake, I still recommend fondant. They will always look better.

But if you like the textured look, this is a great option.

Basketball Fan

I love doing Grooms Cakes!! 

They are so much fun and you can really show your new hubby how much you care for him by giving him a cake that expressed his personality.

Fondant Overlay

Fun technique to use.  Two layers of fondant, then you cut out patterns in the top layer to expose the color of the second layer of fondant.  

Black & Gold Elegance

Bridal Extravaganza at LaCaille

We had a great time at the Bridal Extravaganza at LaCaille this past Saturday. I loved talking to all the fun, beautiful brides that were there.
I will be offering FREE Cake Consultations with taste testing for the next month two or three times a week.  Please email me to set up a time. I would love to meet with you!

I would like to let you know, I will be away from my phone and email until Tuesday July 26th, so please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I get back in town.

Love to hear from you!
turia@sugarkissescakes.com is the best way to get ahold of me.

Gotta love black and white cakes. 

When you put just a splash of color on a cake like this it gives the cake a great pop! I love putting things on cakes that add drama.  This bright green ribbon does the trick.

Messy Buttercream

January and February are busy consultation months.  This cake had been the #1 most popular design thus far for 2011. 

I call this style, "Messy Butercream".  It's simple. Elegant. Soft and beautiful.  If you want a buttercream cake, I would suggest doing something like this instead of the smooth finish that looks like fondant.  If you are not going to use fondant for your cake.. you might as well make it look completely different.  Plus, it adds a beautiful texture as well as gives a modern twist to a traditional style of cake.

Cake Competition at the Spring Home and Garden Festival

COMPETITION DAY at the South Towne Home and Garden Festival Spring Show 

 

I'm so happy today is over! I had a great time competing tonight.  I didn't win, but it was a lot of fun.  There were 3 of us competing against each other.  We had 2 HOURS to decorate an entire cake, with nothing done before hand.  It went by sooooooo fast! I could have done a better job with a little more time. I didn't get everything done I had planned, but I was overall happy with the final piece.  I named the cake "Relaxing after a day working in the yard".  Every side of the cake was a different room in a house with the top tier being a big bathroom with a girl relaxing in a bubble bath.

It was fun, but I don't think I'll be doing any of those Extreme Cake Challenges on Food Network any time soon! :)

This is the "Mud Room" Side of my house

This is the stairway.. The pictures on the wall are the 3 judges

This isn't a great picture, but this was my favorite "room" The family room with the striped walls.  The TV in the back is the show that the emcee is on. (Fresh from the kitchen on Channel 2)

The very large ugly flower is a "secret item" they gave us at the beginning of the competition and we had to incorporate it in the cake. 

I had spider mums! Really?? Have you seen the size of spider mums?  About the height of my tub! 

So I broke it down as small as I could and threw it in a vase. It's still too big.

Mud room again, but you can see some of the other sides at the same time.

This is the back of the cake or the backyard.  

This is the side I ran out of time on.  It was supposed to have a cobblestone path.. more grass and flowers, and it would have been nice if I put the path aligned with the door.  

Oh well.

Not the best picture, but here's the lady in her bubble bath.

A better homes and garden magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune (sponsor of the show) on the floor

Vintage Chic

This is probably one of my favorite cakes I've made this year.  I get inspiration from many things when I'm designing cakes.  Don't you think these flowers look like the cute hair bows that are out there?  That's what they reminded me of. 

This was a super cool, super modern design I couldn't wait to try out.  

and yes..... it took hours to complete! 

I'm loving the yellow, white and grey color combination right now.  

Dalia

Dalia was the beautiful bride that I made this cake for.  I love the blue and black together.  This is a great example of mixing designs on each tier.
