More Wedded Bliss


It was a pleasure to create these tasty treats for such a wonderful family's wedding event.  The bride is the sister of a young man I taught when he was a 5th grader.  Now he is a senior in high school, a basketball and football star at his school, and about twice my height (which is not difficult to do . . . being that I am only 5 feet short!).  Beautiful wedding desserts for a beautiful family!

Wedding Extraordinaire!


This 3-tier wedding cake has delicious secrets hiding beneath its white fondant covering!  The bottom layer is rich chocolate chunk cake.  The middle layer is moist carrot cake.  And the top layer is tasty vanilla cake.  Each of these three yummy layers is carefully disguised with a covering of Sweet T's made-from-scratch fondant as well as fresh flowers.  The delicate little fondant "buttons" and fancy fondant flounces create an elegantly delectable silhouette.
This cupcake tree was provided by the bride's family.  However . . . all the cupcakes were created by Sweet T's Bake Shop.  An irresistible assortment of cupcakes fill this towering tree: peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate swirl icing, red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing, strawberry cupcakes with strawberry lemon icing, toffee cupcakes with caramel cream icing, and mint chocolate chunk cupcakes with mint cream cheese icing.  Decisions, decisions!  When one is unable to choose  . . . make sure to sample one of each!

Absolutely Awesome Almond Cupcakes


For almond lovers, this cupcake is pure delight!  The super-moist cake is made with freshly made almond meal.  The meal is fine, but not too fine.  With each almondy bite, the little bits of meal make for a nice, slightly textured bite. Smooth almond buttercream icing swirls the crown of each almond cupcake.  To finish, a sprinkling of almond meal.  Almond has never been so absolutely awesome!

"The best cake I have ever eaten in my entire life!"


This little 6 inch round birthday cake was made for a principal of a local elementary school.  The cake is tasty and delectable from the inside out.  The moist, rich, chocolate chunk cake is studded with semi-sweet morsels.  Then, the decadent cake is covered with Sweet T's signature chocolate icing.  The deliciousness does not stop there, however.  The outside edge of the cake is then covered with a thick layer of heavenly Butterfinger buttercream icing, then dusted with  more pieces of crushed Butterfinger.  When Sweet T received a "Thank You" note from this principal, the card said, "That was the best cake I have ever eaten in my entire life!"
