Happy Birthday to the Hobbyist!

March 19, 2012 :: Posted by - Sweet Flamingo Cake Co. :: Category - Cakes

Bob was happily surprised by his family with a full day of plans for his 65th birthday! And we were thrilled to be asked to be a part of his very special day. Being an avid collector of rare US coins &  World War I model planes his special cake had to represent his favorite past times. This cake was inspired by Bob’s favorite plane – the P-51 Mustang, we also included the “Pennies from Heaven” – sugar replicas of the many coins in Bob’s collection!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!

Cake: Butter Yellow

Baby Elephants for a New Mom & Dad!

March 06, 2012 :: Posted by - Sweet Flamingo Cake Co. :: Category - Cakes

As you might remember, a few months ago we asked by Erin & Isaac to create them a special cake to tell them what their new bundle of joy would be. Well, if you guessed a little baby boy, you were correct! We were thrilled to receive another request for a cake to help them celebrate their recent baby shower. After talking with a friend of the happy couple, and brainstorming different ideas, we were shown an image of the cute bedding (By Restoration Hardware Baby & Child) purchased to be in the new nursery. And of course after seeing it we KNEW the cake just had to match!

Cake: Lemon Tart
Filling: Strawberry Puree
Frosting: Marshmallow Buttercream
