Fit for a Queen

Once again, my friend Callie referred me to a great person. I had a lot of fun with this cake. They wanted a fun crown for their friends big birthday party. It was a milk chocolate cake with rasberry preserve and buttercream filling. Hope you like. Sorry about the lame pics. They don't do it justice.

Waaaaay Better Pics!

Check out this blog....http://www.kelvinphotographer.com/ He was at the open house too and his pictures are amazing. It shows all the vendors (including yours truly) and made my cake look awesome. Thanks Kelvin!

Inspirador Open House

Ok. So tonight I did my first open house with Inspirador and it was so much fun. I had to come right home and post it so everyone can see how great this place is. It was so fun to meet with the great couples there and see some familiar vendors I met at the bridal expo. The first couple of pics with the blue background are shots of my display shelf in the Inspiration Lounge. Click on the pictures to see the details better.This is the cake I made for the open house. The theme was desert nights with a lot of blue and orange and teal. I did a dessert spread as well (which are becoming very popular for the bride who wants to give their guests a lot of variety) These cake bites were milk chocolate with peanut butter frosting and red velvet with cream cheese frosting.People had already started to nibble when I took this picture.The cool table at the entrance filled with gorgeous incense. The original fireplace in the courtyard. GORGEOUS!!!This courtyard is great for outdoor ceremonies or as a cocktail party space. Click on the picture and see the gorgeous grass covered wall.The ceremony room. The wall is covered in candles and the walk way is beautified with pretty poetry and loving phrases.The Bridal room.The Tryst art gallery... Awesome for an anniversary or cocktail party.Sorry about the blur, but this is the Inspiration Lounge from outside. See my cake?!?

Some More Fun Cakes

My father-in-law asked me to make a cake for my sister-in-laws birthday. I wanted to just because it was Taryn, but I also have been wanting to try some new things.


The first cake is a super moist carrot cake with cream cheese filling and a swiss meringue butter cream frosting. I had never made this type of icing before and I ended up absolutely loving it. The cream cheese filling was a new recipe too. The other cake, the more funky one was for Taryn. She wanted a chocolate fudge cake with cream cheese as well. It is covered in a thin layer of typical butter cream and in fondant. Hope you like!

Totally Forgot to Mention Very Important Things

OK... So the expo got us great exposure. We have alot a lot of great weddings booked and I am so excited to work with these fun brides. Can't wait to show you all the cakes we have designed. Anyways, the expo gave us a huge jumpstart. I just wanted to fill you in with whats going on with Baked Bliss. First of all, we are going to be getting an awesome website to go along with the blog. We are going to be doing a professional photo shoot in August for my cakes. So excited Nikki! It will be very vintage modern. I love it!!!! Also, we will be joining the Inspiration Lounge at Inspirador in Historic Chandler. Its a beautiful venue and we should get lots of business. We are very eager to work with the creative women there. Here are a few websites you can look at to see where we are headed.

nikaelacurtis.com
inspirador.com
sweetandsaucyshop.com (This is kind of the style and look we are going for. Her cakes are the kind we are designing right now for future events. Way cool stuff!)

Hello Again!!

We have quite a few cakes coming up. Can't wait to show everyone what we have been working on. A lot of them will look very similar. I have been trying to focus on one thing and do it several times for practice. I have had a couple small parties and we have done small square cakes for all of them. These pics are from My Cousin Amaile's wedding. Very cool colors! We will also have some cakes for a birthday party tonight. I will post them soon.


The black cakes were a rich fudge cake with buttercream filling and the white cakes were a simple and sweet white cake with buttercream filling and they were all covered in rolled fondant.

Congrat Amalie!
