2011-12-08T11:10:00.000-06:00

The Smash cake is a "Cupcake Cake" made from 6" and 4" white cake, covered in fondant with a fondant bow that has hand painted zebra stripes. The cupcakes were originally only going to have 2-d converse shoes, but I thought it would be too cute to make them 3-d, and I think they turned out awesome!!

Update on the Storefront!

2011-10-13T11:11:00.001-05:00

Sign is up!

Hi everyone! I wanted to give an update on the progress of the storefront since there has actually been *GASP* progress!! :) I am so excited and literally CANNOT wait to get open!

As for the actual construction, we have walls up, plumbing installed, electric done, and are getting close to working on the more exciting stuff- aka paint and decor :) I was realllly, really hoping to be open by the end of October but it is looking more like Mid- November. Once we get an actual date of completion I will be promoting our grand opening which will fall on a Saturday! Stay tuned for that announcement because it's going to be an awesome event!!

I also wanted to explain to everyone my vision and what you can expect when you come in once we are open! There will be retail cupcakes for sale every day. There will be one case where you can walk in and purchase one cupcake to eat on the spot, or as many as you would like! But there will also be the refrigerated case where there will be a variety of "Grab and Go" pre-boxed cupcakes. I am so excited for this! They will be a variety of flavors, and also decorated with custom fondant decor! So for instance when the holidays come up if you are in a crunch you can stop in on the fly and pick up one dozen or two dozen amazingly cute, ready to go, already decorated cupcakes! I think it's going to be a hit and like nothing else you can find in Fort Worth!! If you like what I do with my custom cupcake orders, you will definitely like this! These "Grab and Go's" will be available every day (first come, first serve) and the themes will change according to seasons/holidays/events etc!

The closer we get to opening the closer we are getting to having an actual LAND LINE phone (woohoo!!!!!) And we can all communicate via phone, or better yet in person! So please stay tuned for the new number!

I also wanted to encourage everyone to place their orders for Halloween ASAP (how the heck is it already mid October?!?!) I have sooo many cute ideas for Halloween cupcakes-- shoot me an email Leah@SugarPieHoneyBuns.com if you would like to place an order!!

Thank you again everyone for your constant support and patience! Can't wait to share my vision with all of you!! :)

Oh, and one last thing!! I have been working with my amazing graphic designer/photographer team on an entirely new website for literally months now! (Same domain- www.sugarpiehoneybuns.com) But it is literally soooo CAAAA-YUUUUUTE and unique and ME- I cannot wait to reveal it to you guys!! It really conveys what Leah's Sweet Treats is to me and my actual aesthetic so it's going to be awesome! We have been waiting until we get the new contact info so please be sure to check my facebook www.facebook.com/Leahs.Sweet.Treats for updates and the announcement of new website!!

Rhino Cake

2011-10-11T23:25:00.000-05:00

Another super cool 3-d animal cake!! This was for a 5th birthday, with a request for a Rhino Head Cake. The actual cake is sculpted out of an 8" and 6" red velvet cake. It was covered in ivory fondant, airbrushed with different shades of silver and grey with fondant horns, ears, and party hat & blower. I have to say I'm really digging the 3-d sculpted cakes and hope to get more requests because they honestly turn out so cool that it even kind of amazes me sometimes :)

"Leah,

Just wanted you to know the beautifully crafted rhinocerous cake was just as delicious as it was impressive. All the business cards disappeared. I'm carving up the leftovers to share with neighbors. Thank you for making Robert's 5th birthday special. -J"

Daisy Baby Shower Cupcakes

2011-09-30T16:37:00.000-05:00

Love!

Armadillo Cake

2011-09-30T14:44:00.001-05:00

Now this cake was definitely a little out of my comfort zone! For one- I don't get a lot of requests to do animals/3-d sculpted, and two- armadillos scare the ever loving buttercream out of me!! But this Birthday Cake was for my neighbor, who I now know goes by "The Diller Killer" and all he wanted for his birthday was an armadillo cake. His wife requested the bullet holes- so that will be a nice little surprise for him.

The grass portion is a 10" square red velvet with cream cheese filling, covered in green buttercream, and the armadillo himself is also red velvet- yes think "Steel Magnolias". He is covered in ivory fondant, which I texturized, airbrushed, and luster dusted. He has little fondant ears, feet and tail, and face. How can he look so cute and cuddly- whilst dead, and covered in bullet holes??? That takes talent people :)

Texas A&M Grooms Cake

2011-09-30T14:29:00.000-05:00

Well this cake I have been meaning to upload for a while, and unfortunately I only got one pic- iphone pic- which I only got because an old friend of mine happened to be a bridesmaid in the wedding and was there to take a picture ;) Whoopsies! (and whoop!)

This is an Aggies groom cake- it is a white cake with buttercream frosting and filling and some GIGGG EMMMM fondant details!

Mardi Gras Cupcakes

2011-09-30T14:24:00.000-05:00

Drew and Dave's Vintage Inspired Wedding Cake

2011-09-27T12:10:00.000-05:00

Last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of making this beautiful wedding cake for Drew and Dave. Drew and I discussed designs and looked at pictures of cakes she was drawn to, and she decided on this particular cake- which I love! It is a 12" 9" 6" cake- bottom tier Key Lime Blueberry cake with fresh blueberries and buttercream filling, top 2 tiers mocha chip with chocolate buttercream filling. The cake is covered in ivory fondant, and top tier is covered in lots and lots of little fondant flowers. The flowers were all hand made and luster dusted with 4 different shades to go with the vintage feel of the cake! Drew and Dave also requested 8 dozen mini cupcakes- they are coconut with chocolate buttercream and chocolate confetti with chocolate buttercream.

Art Party Cake

2011-09-09T13:30:00.000-05:00

I really adore this art party cake!! Kinsey's mom had contacted me about doing a cake for a 5th Birthday "Art" Party. She already had sooo many precious goodies/treats/invites that she shared with me, I knew the cake had to live up to the rest of the party!! :) It is a 6" & 8" stacked - the top tier is all confetti (how cute will that be when they cut into it!?) and the bottom tier is "tuxedo" chocolate, confetti, chocolate with buttercream filling. The cake is covered in white fondant with lots of fun fondant details: paint brushes, paint palette, crayons, "Kinsey Crayons", and paint splatters!

Hopefully this cake fills up all those little "starving artists"!! :)

Circus Birthday Cake and Smash Cake

2011-09-03T12:21:00.000-05:00

One of my new favorite cakes ever! Taylor contacted me about doing a Circus Themed cake for her daughter Jaiden's first birthday and I was super excited! I sent her a bunch of "inspiration" pics and we went from there. She was totally open to letting me just go with it, and we decided to add in some girly colors to the otherwise typical primary color palette of a circus theme. I am thrilled with the outcome and think the cake is awesome! The big cake is a 10" white cake with buttercream filling, 8" chocolate chip cake with buttercream, 6" red velvet with buttercream, and 4" white with buttercream on top. The entire cake is covered in fondant with lots of fun fondant details! The smash cake is a 6" white cake, with a corresponding vintage-y circus name plate, fondant polka dots and a purple one on top.

Paisley Birthday Cake

2011-09-03T09:46:00.001-05:00

This 30th Birthday Cake is for Kristin's surprise birthday tonight at "Painting with a twist"! Her sweet sister Kim planned everything, and gave me a general direction to go with the cake- paisley and fun colors! I really enjoyed working on this one because I don't always get to do a lot of buttercream piping, and you KNOW I love the bright colors :) It is an 8" white cake with cream cheese and fresh raspberry filling covered in a funky orange buttercream with buttercream paisley and floral details. Please be sure to click on the picture to enlarge- whenever my photos are uploaded into blogger the automatic lower resolution of the picture distorts the colors a bit- so they are off just the slightest, but for a cake like this it makes a big difference!

University of Georgia Birthday Cake

2011-09-02T13:56:00.000-05:00

This 8" Red Velvet Cake was for a birthday celebration and the Georgia vs Boise State Game! "UGA" the bulldog is made out of light grey and black fondant. The big bow in front is also made from textured fondant! Go Dawgs!

Pink and Zebra Birthday Cake

2011-08-29T20:23:00.001-05:00

This cake was for Crystal's 40th Birthday! It was based off another design that the client had requested- I added the dots, squiggles, and glitter "40" on top. I also did the zebra stripes smaller/thinner than I normally do, per the original cake, and I think it turned out really cute! The cake is a 6" and 9" white with buttercream filling and frosting.

"Leah

Wanted to thank you again for the cake. Crystal loved it and everyone commented on it and asked where I got it. I dropped your name/business so hopefully you will get some more clients. Thanks again wonderful job

Pastel Yellow Green and Pink "Damask" Baby Shower Cake

2011-08-18T21:36:00.001-05:00

This 6" white cake with fresh strawberries and buttercream filling was a request to have the same look as the "Pink Damask Baby Shower Cake" but with these super cute colors! I love how they came together on this cake. It is covered in a pale yellow fondant, airbrushed with a light green and then piped with a matching green buttercream. The border has light pink fondant ribbon roses and a matching light pink "Eily" on top.

2011-08-18T20:01:00.001-05:00

"Hi Leah! Just wanted to thank you again for the cupcakes you made for Livia's birthday. They were absolutely adorable and delicious! We received so many compliments on them (and gave your name to several people)! Hope you had a great weekend! Thanks again, and good luck getting your store going.

Eagle Scout Cake

2011-08-18T19:23:00.000-05:00

Last weekend I had the immense pleasure of not only making the cake for, but also attending, Cliffy's Eagle Scout Ceremony! I had a great time and can't wait to have a little Eagle Scout of my own one day ;)

The cake was 6" 9" and 12". Top tier- yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling, buttercream frosting and covered in red fondant with stars imprinted all around. The middle layer was a chocolate chip cake (white cake with mini, semisweet, and dark chocolate chips baked in) with buttercream and fresh strawberry filling. And the bottom layer was a chocolate cake (4 layers!) with 2 layers of chocolate buttercream filling and one layer of buttercream. The badge, logo, and all other details are made of fondant.

Psychedelic Cake

2011-08-13T08:55:00.001-05:00

I am calling this the psychedelic cake, because well, I'm not sure what else to call it! It is based off a cake that can be found on the gallery of my website. I have to admit, the original cake I made a very long time ago when I was first getting started- so I wanted to do an "upgraded" version of the original cake. The fondant is a "tie dye" technique over an 8" square chocolate cake with buttercream filling. The rest of the details- flowers, swirls, dots etc are also made from fondant.

GROOVY MAN!

2011-08-06T13:33:00.000-05:00

I totally love this cake! It is for a surprise birthday party at Mira Vista for Brenda's 60th Birthday! The client simply asked for a chocolate cake with roses on it, and said I could take it from there..... so this is where I went with it! :) Buyers beware::: if you tell me I can use any colors-- I will probably use them all!! Instead of doing petal by petal fondant flowers I thought it would be cool and unique to do whimsical "ribbon" roses, and I think it turned out awesome! It is a 3 tiered chocolate cake 4, 6, 8" with buttercream filling and frosting. The flowers/leaves/vines/polka dots are all made from fondant.

This Tinkerbell Cake was made for Brinley's 5th Birthday Party at Keller Pointe. (What a crazy place btw! They have an indoor and outdoor water park!) Brinley practically designed the cake herself, and what a good job she did!! She wanted a green cake, dark pink flowers, and her name in light pink. I think she definitely has a future in cake design people!!

The cake is a 6" and 9" white and chocolate cake with buttercream filling, "Tinkerbell Green" Buttercream frosting, and lots of fun and whimsical fondant fairy flowers and leaves. I had a blast making this cake!!

Cowboy Cake

2011-07-24T13:15:00.001-05:00

This weekend I had a request for a "cowboy" cake for little Grayson and his smash cake photo shoot for his 1st birthday. Grayson's mom just happens to be an awesomely amazing photographer- so she sent me over these pictures that she took of the cake alone-- which clearly pale in comparison to the pics I take in the kitchen, so just had to share! Isn't the setup so cute?? I am anxiously awaiting to check out her blog, and see the pictures of Grayson and the cake!!!

The cake was a 6" and 4" white cake with buttercream filling and frosting and lots of fun fondant details! The top tier has a little dark chocolate fondant cowboy hat, black fondant cow print, and red "1". The bottom tier is "plaid" with a sherrifs pin and horseshoes, and a yellow fondant rope border. I love this cake, it may be one of my fav smash cakes ever!

Thank you so much Chi for the awesome pics!!

Black and Red Burlesque Cake

2011-07-18T15:19:00.000-05:00

I am calling this cake the "Burlesque" Cake- but it was actually for an awesome party thrown for Jenna Rabideau who owns Halo Salon on Camp Bowie, Halo Brides Hair & Makeup, and her newest venture "Halo Artists Group"- a DFW talent agency that specializes in all the "behind the scene" talents: hair/makeup/photography/set design etc. The party was a joint birthday and launch of Halo Artists Groupe- showcasing all their great work! The party theme was kind of a mixture of circus/burlesque/oddities, and Jenna requested the cake be black and red. I had so much fun making this cake! I love when clients give me free range to basically do whatever I want along the lines of the theme. The tiny top quilted tier, and red and black striped tier were both almond cake with buttercream filling. The black tier which had a "fishnet" texture, and red lace border was a 9" red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, and the bottom harlequin cake was a 12" quadruple chocolate cake- chocolate chocolate chip cake, chocolate buttercream with drizzled chocolate!! The roses were made of fondant, airbrushed, disco/sparkle/and luster dusted, along with black glitter leaves.

2011-07-15T23:38:00.000-05:00

(PS it's 2AM and I am updating my blog, can you tell I've lost my mind?!?) Burnin' the midnight oil over here at Leah's Sweet Treats Headquarters......!! But for the record, Ladybugs will never be out! I just decided to change it up a little with some cute bumblebee's! This cake is another 8" sour cream chocolate cake, with buttercream filling and frosting. The roses are airbrushed and made out of fondant, as our the little bee's.

Now this lady is out to buzz into bed & hopefully have some SWEET dreams!!!

Navy Cake

2011-07-15T01:40:00.002-05:00

This cake was made for Bob, whose granddaughter Brigette is in the navy in Seattle. She runs the nuclear reactors that power the ship, U S S John C Stennis. It is a nuclear aircraft carrier, with a crew of 5,000. Brigette will be deploying to the far east for 8 months.

The cake is an 8" old fashioned sour cream cake with buttercream filling and frosting, covered in fondant. I have to give a major shoutout to my brother, Brian, who is home visiting for a while-- and boy did I put him to work-- he painted the aircraft carrier for me!! Oh did I mention, he's a veterinarian!??!? I know, I know- I wish he would just ditch that crappy career path and join me in my cake ventures!! The aircraft carrier was painted on gumpaste with food coloring.

Thank you to Brigette and everyone else serving in our military!!!!

"The Bride's Room" Mini Cupcakes

2011-07-11T19:22:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone! I have been really slacking in the blogging department! I have also been slacking big time on my picture taking- I prefer to take shots of cupcakes all setup instead of after the fact when they are already boxed up, so thankfully for this order Arden Prucha Jenkins of Arden Prucha Photography got some awesome shots of the mini's I did for The Bride's Room one year Annivesary! You can check out Arden's Blog post featuring the mini's, The Bride's Room, and her wonderful photography work Here.
Kim Gotcher of The Bride's Room contacted me to do some mini's for her one year anniversary of her shop being open, and I was super excited because A. she loves pink as much as I do B. her shop is also on Camp Bowie (and she consequently was feelin' my pain over the permit situation) and C. her shop was sooo cute and all of her dresses were honestly beautiful! I'm a picky gal- and these were definitely top of the line, feminine, modern dresses! To all my Fort Worth friends who have recently become engaged- I really do suggest you go in and take a look! She also has the cutest accessories (my fav) and it's always a fresh of breath air to encounter friendly, honest, down to earth people in this c-r-a-z-y wedding industry!!
The mini's that I made were 5 dozen pink champagne with pink champagne buttercream and almond with buttercream. The decorations were soft pink, pearls, and gold- super delicate and "wedding-y" (new word!)

The 6 dozen cupcakes were a combination of: white, confetti (with green and pink sprinkles to match!) chocolate, almond, and coconut! They are decorated with custom matching fondant decorations- lily pads, "j's" for Juliette, "1's", Froggies, and matching flowers. Here's to hoping Juliette had a HOPPY first birthday!!

Frequently Asked Questions

2011-06-27T14:55:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone! I would like to say thank you to everyone who has emailed me or posted on my facebook (www.Facebook.com/Leahs.Sweet.Treats) with interest/support of Leah's Sweet Treats! I would also like to thank everyone for being so patient in my venture to open this storefront and answer a few frequently asked questions since I am getting more and more emails on a daily basis with the same inquiries. I have been getting an amazing amount of publicity from various media outlets- which is awesome! But causes a bit of a problem since new followers of Leah's Sweet Treats are confused by location/opening/contact.
Why can I not get ahold of you at 817-692-0256, the number you have listed on your website?
That number is a cell phone number which unfortunately at this point barely gets service, and often times does not even ring or connect to voicemail. Since we thought we would for sure be open by now, I have been holding off waiting to get the permanent land # in the storefront. The best way to get ahold of me until then is by email: Leah@SugarPieHoneyBuns.com
Why are you not open yet? Are you opening on Camp Bowie? When are you opening?
I signed a lease in March for my amazing location on Camp Bowie (Yes, that is where the storefront will be- 4910 Camp Bowie Blvd, directly across the street from Kincaids and the Showdown Bar). The process of getting permits/plans/approvals through the city was far more involved and c-r-a-z-y then ever imagined, and we are doing our absolute best to get everything completed correctly as quickly as possible. If I could've been open yesterday, trust me I would've! My contractor is working his you know what off, and after permits are approved the renovations of the space will take approximately 4 weeks- at which point I will start an official countdown to Grand Opening!
Will you have cupcakes for sale every day once the storefront is open?
Yes, definitely! There will be a variety of flavors baked off every day for retail, walk-in purchase- both standard and mini sized. You can come in and buy 1 or 100! There will also be a select number of "custom" decorated cupcakes for purchase (first come first serve), and also small cakes available for purchase (although this might not be on a daily basis- will all depend on demand and time constraints)
Are you "the" Leah of Leah's Sweet Treats? Do you have any partners/employees?
Yes, I am "the" Leah and I am currently the sole employee. I appreciate everyone's understanding and support that this a one woman operation, and I do as much as humanly possible (without jeopardizing integrity of work/designs) So this is why it is important to get your order in ASAP because I cannot gauge which weekends will book up and how many orders I can take each weekend at this point. I request at least 2 weeks notice for custom cake orders, and one week's notice for custom cupcake orders.
If you have any other questions about the storefront, custom orders, general info please email me at Leah@SugarPieHoneyBuns.com
Thank you for all of your support!!
I would like to end this entry with a picture of my Sweet Pea- my little sweet treat that never fails to make me smile on days where I think I will NEVERRRRRRR be open ;)

my little cupcake!

Indulge Magazine Fort Worth May 2011 Issue Springtime Flower Pot Cake

2011-04-13T10:26:00.001-05:00

So Leah's Sweet Treats will be featured in the May Issue of Indulge Magazine among some other foodies (and then hopefully republished later in the Star Telegram) and I just dropped off this awesome cake to the Star Telegrams offices to be photographed for the issue! I'm not sure how much will actually be published about Leah's Sweet Treats or if they are taking a variety of pictures and which will be chosen, but let's hope this cake makes it to print! They requested a "Springtime" theme since it is the May issue so I decided to go with a flower pot theme with tons of bright flowers and "springy" colors. I have to admit I am really in love with this cake and this is kind of "me in a nutshell" when it comes to cake artistry. This is the kind of project I loooove to do, and having no restraints is always a plus! In honor of my awesome friend Jackie "Jackleen" Collins I had to put some cute little pink lady bugs crawling around.

It is a real cake- the flower pot is confetti with buttercream filling and the bottom tier is chocolate chocolate chip also with buttercream filling. The cakes are covered with fondant and all the leaves/flowers/ladybugs are also made out of fondant.

Happy Spring!! (This weather rocks!!)

Update on Storefront

2011-04-13T10:16:00.000-05:00

Pfffh you thought I could narrow it down to one or two colors??? Try 6! It's going to be super cute, retro chic! The plans were finally finalized and should be submitted this week. If all goes well everything should move forward smoothly and swiftly so let's all hope so!!
