Wedding cakes & some other pretty cakes

I wanted to share with you some of the small wedding cakes I have started to do.  At the moment I only do buttercream cakes.  I personally like them better because I believe the fondant takes away from the taste and quality of the cake (KbyK only promises to give you the best)!  I am excited to be doing another 3 tier wedding cake and entire dessert table this weekend.  Stay tuned for the photos!

This shower cake was for a wedding that will be in Costa Rica in February!

Rocco's 1st Birthday!

My parent's neighbors son turned 1 this past weekend and I was thrilled to be making the treats.  It was a baseball themed party with hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy just like when you go to a game!  I made him a cake, baseball cake pops, cupcakes, and chocolate chip ganache cookies.

A Luau Rehearsal Dinner

A few weeks ago I received a phone call to do the desserts for a luau themed rehearsal dinner.  I was really excited to be asked to do it since it was such a fun and unique idea!

They used my stand to display the cake and cupcakes and then I made pails of sand for them to put the cake pops in!  Congrats to Marie & Tommy!

One Month!

I cannot believe how fast 11 months went, the wedding is officially one month from today!  KbyK will have to regretfully decline any orders for the 10 days (Sept 20th-30th) surrounding our wedding day but I cannot wait to come back to work for October and the holiday season. We'll be taking a "mini-moon" to Bermuda right after the wedding and will be heading to Africa for our full honeymoon in January. Thanks for all your support!

Below are some cakes I have been working on :)

Baby Showers....

I recently did some fun baby showers that I wanted to share with you.  

The first was super cute, they ordered animal themed k-pops to match their invitation and borrowed my stand and then filled it with sandwich cookies and jelly bean jars as well.  I am in love with the little train they added!

The second was for a small office shower and it had a teddy bear theme so I made some little bear k-pops to go with their brunch.  I thought it was so cute how they put the little onesies in the paper cone.

For the last one I made a two-tiered chocolate cake with hazelnut filling. I made 3d little booties, a baby block and a rattle for the first time which I was really excited about!  

Cakes

Over the last month I have been asked to create some fun new cakes that were a challenge for me but a lot of fun to design as well!  

The first were 2 two-tier cakes for birthdays.  One is for an older woman so it is more simple and romantic and the second one was for a little girl's first birthday.  

I have also started to expand my personal tags and have been making them for non-wrapped cake pops and cupcakes as well.  If you are a someone who wants to personalize their dessert but does not like fondant, they are great!

This next project was for a grooms cake.  It is of Nantucket where to groom has a house (on vestal street), his Dad owns a shop (Murray's), the groom owns a company (Castaway) and they got engaged (Wauwinet).

The last cake was for a little boy who loves the Backyardigans.  I cannot take credit for the design of this cake because they sent me a picture of what they wanted but I was happy that I was able to produce this for them!

Wedding Festivities

I was the lucky girl who was asked to make some fun treats for a lingerie shower and bachelorette.  

It was a fun lingerie shower with spiked cherry limeades and blueberry lemonade cocktails so I made some lemon cake pops and stuck them in lime jellybeans :)

The girls at the bachelorette were going to be enjoying some martinis so I made a cake to go with it!

Baby Blocks...

I made some Baby Block Cakes for a shower this past weekend.  To match the cakes the favors were baby block k-pops tied them with feet ribbon that matched the invitation.  The mom to be is having twin boys!  Below is a picture of the mom to be with her cakes :)

Spring!

After what seemed like an endless winter it finally feels like spring!  To celebrate the beautiful weather are some spring themed cakes and strawberry cupcakes!

Ni Hao Kai Lan

Last weekend I made a Ni Hao Kai Lan themed cake for a little girl's 2nd birthday.  It was a chocolate cake with a whipped chocolate ganache filling and vanilla buttercream on the outside.  I made Kai Lan, Rintoo, HoHo and Mr. Sun for the cake and as toppers on the cupcakes.  

Spring Birthday's

Happy Friday! Hoping my spring cakes will bring warmer weather :)

Arghhhh!

Max (Reece's Brother) turned 7 this weekend and had a pirate party.  I made a cake just for max, some K-pops and some pirate K-pops!  He was very excited for his party, I hope he enjoyed!

A Batman Story

Reece turned 5 last weekend and had a Batman themed party! I made a small cake for him and cake pops for all of his friends and family.  Stay tuned for Reece's Brother's Birthday...

Luca's 3rd Birthday!

My neighbor's son Luca turned 3 last week and he celebrated his birthday with a fire truck themed cake.  It was a 2 tier vanilla chocolate chip cake.  The bottom had chocolate icing and the top was vanilla.  All the decorations were edible :)  I  hope he enjoyed!

Cannoli Cake

This is a 3 layer chiffon cake with cannoli cream and mini chocolate chips layered in-between.  It is then topped with a lightly sweetened whip cream and crushed cannoli shells.  Enjoy!

Thomas the Train Birthday

My friend's nephew, James, celebrated his first birthday on Sunday and I made a Thomas the Train themed cake for the celebration :)

A Spooooky First Birthday!

Sesame Street!

Shortly after I did the Elmo themed party, I was asked to create multiple characters from sesame street for a 2 year old boy's party.  This was also a cake/cupcake/cake pop tower.  

A Dog Inspired Party

Our friends dog celebrated his first birthday and they decided to use it as an excuse for a fun summer party.  I made a cake in honor of the occasion :)

Ruby's 1st Birthday

Our friends Mark & Kara's daughter celebrated her first birthday in July. They had a picnic in Washington Square Park to celebrate.  Looks like she enjoyed her cake!
