WooHoo! My cake was published in a magazine!

Silly me got SO EXCITED this morning because as I opened my new MailBox news issue which comes out every few months, I had a big surprise. I got to a section where they showed various birthday cakes submitted by cake decorators and there it was...the birthday cake I did for my dad two years ago (when I was still very new at this, as you can tell by the AWFUL hand writing)...but I do love this cake because it was so much fun making the tools and designing the measuring tape and letter to dad to look as real as possible. So...here is the page of the magazine...i scanned it so I could put it on here! So excited...i just submitted a whole bunch more photos...who knows...maybe in months to come i can find more of my cakes in the magazine...that would be awesome!



The bottom middle cake is mine and the right middle paragraph is the paragraph about my cake! I wish I could make it bigger...if you want to see a bigger version...email me at aprilcstarkey@gmail.com and I can send you a bigger one where you can see the writing and such!

Love, april

Sam & Auri's wedding cake!

I had the priveledge of making my brother in law and now my sister in laws wedding cake! He proposed to her with chocolate covered strawberries so they wanted them all over the cake! Their cake turned out very simple, elegant, garden style and beautiful! They picked a good design! I hope they liked it! I believe they did! These are just a few pics, hopefully once they get the professional ones back I can get a copy and post it here as well!

Love, april

Two wedding cakes to post!!!

Hello! This week I made two wedding cakes! One was a small one tiered buttercream wedding cake with purple flowers on it for my husband's co-worker!


This second one I finished today for a wonderful couple that go to my parents church! They have been married many years with three boys but they never had an official ceremony or reception so they did that today! Here is the cake they had me make for them! Its three tiered fondant covered with fondant daisies and hand pressed diamond cut pattern!





After the topper and flowers were put on and around it that she wanted...

Linda Birthday Cake!

Hello! This cake below was made for my sister's MIL. Her name is Linda and since she is a mom and a grandma, they had me put all three! I hope she likes it! Its a half sheet WASC cake with vanilla buttercream frosting! YUM! I just drew a whole bunch of vines all over it and swirls and then added some spring like flowers and leaves! To get the circle border in the middle so nice, i used the rim of an 8 inch round pan and pressed gently into the cake and then went around the indentation and filled it in with a border! If I tried to make a circle on my own, it would SO be lopsided! Multiple views below...beware! :0)

Love, april












in the box and ready to go!
