Corvette Cake

A very special cake made for the 50th birthday of this car collector. Served 40-50.

For the Man Who has Everything

What do you make for a man who owns grocery stores, sports teams, Rolls Royces and Ferraris (yes, I'm using the plural here), and a yacht, who also loves spending time with his four children and Persian cat? This cake, all planned lovingly by his significant other, is what we came up with.

Wine Bottle Cake

A very special cake for a 50th birthday celebration. When you reach mid-life, some people itch to buy a porsche...others venture out of their comfort zone and open a winery! This husband/wife team just opened a new winery in San Francisco (that's right, they make the wine right here in the city) called Bluxome Winery. We wish them both every success.

50th Birthday Cake

A baseball and football fan, wine connoisseur, and a karaoke buff all come together for a special and fun 50th birthday cake. Their pet dog and cat also made it into the sccene.

Travel Suitcase Cake

We created this special cake for our client Vicki's Aunt Margaret's 70th birthday. Margaret is an avid traveler and a very special aunt to Vicki: she moved in with Vicki and helped take care of Vicki's children while she was on bedrest for several months during her last pregnancy! Now, I'm sure Margaret was in dire need of a vacation after that!

Porsche Cake

For my wonderful client, Diane. We made a wedding cake for Chuck and Diane several years ago, and then a cake for her baby boy a few years later. Now, another milestone celebrated with Butterfly Cakes -- Chuch's 30th! Here's what Diane had to say:

Thank you so much for the fabulous Porsche cake you did for Chuck's 30th birthday last weekend. The cake was a huge hit - in appearance and taste! Chuck was thrilled with it and we're still enjoying the leftovers :) I don't know what your secret it, but your fondant is the best we've ever tasted. Once again, you have done an amazing job for us. We really appreciate it!

Mini Cooper Cake

A very special 40th birthday cake! Cling to your carefree youthful days and celebrate with this fun cake! You have made it this far, celebrate!!

Baseball Themed Baby Cake

Calling all Giants' fans!! This is the perfect 1st birthday cake for a baby boy who has baseball in his life! We created this whimsical cake for our client, Amanda Sabean, whose husband works for the Giants. Actually, I should say Amanda created the vision, and we executed it, adding our own touches. She came to me with ideas and pictures and together we designed the perfect cake for her little guy.

Champagne Bottle in Crate

The perfect cake for the wine or champagne lover! We put the wine bottle in a "crate" so that the cake would serve more people. Serves approximately 50 people. The label is edible and says "Aged to Perfection", along with the person's name, age and year of birth.

Topsy Turvy Ferrari Cake

This fun cake was designed with the help of the groom. No, the wedding decor wasn't red and black (far from it, it was orange and green)....no there wasn't a "car theme" throughout the wedding. What's really refreshing about this cake is that the design did not have anything to do with the wedding at all, other than the fact that the groom loves cars and Ferrari's, and also really digs a cool looking cake!

Mexican Tile Cake

Inspired by the beautiful art form of Mexican handpainted tiles, this cake is the perfect finale to a Mexican fiesta!

Sports Themed Cupcakes

Russian Books Cake

My good client Yana ordered this special cake for her father's 70th birthday. The "scroll" is hand-sculpted from sugar and printed with a special Russian poem. The books are entitled with some of her father's favorite authors. This really challenged my writing skills!

Power Rangers Cake

Every November, as wedding season comes to a close, I get to celebrate big with a birthday party for my son, Ethan. His latest and greatest passion is Power Rangers...this is the cake we came up with. We used his coloring book to scan edible images onto the sides of the cake. The mask is hand-sculpted from cake and fondant. Serves 70.
