Breast Cancer Awareness Cupcakes

These cupcakes were a donation for of my favorite customer's "Breast Cancer Awareness Booth" for the 2nd year at the South Euless Elementary PTA's fall carnival October 22, 2011. All profits were be donated to Susan G Komen on behalf of South Euless Elementary. Here theme was "Cupcakes for a Cure" How cute is that??!? Breast Cancer Awareness is very near and dear to my heart so I was honored to be a part of it!

90th Birthday Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a 90th birthday celebration and decorated based off of the colors/design of the invitation! They were 4 dozen standard and 4 dozen mini, with a combination of white, chocolate, confetti and red velvet cupcakes!

Pokemon Cupcakes

I had a request from one my very faithful clients (love my repeat customers, you are the best!) for some Pokemon cupcakes! Much like the angry bird cupcakes, I have very little knowledge of anything Pokemon related- so I hope I did them some justice! :) They cupcakes were 2 dozen mini and one dozen standard white, chocolate, and strawberry all with buttercream frosting. The pokemon characters and "5"s are all made from fondant. 

Update on the Storefront!

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

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

How cute are these mini's for a baby shower?!! The baby's name is ........ Daisy!! *unanimous "aaaaawe"* They are 3 dozen white and chocolate with buttercream filling and fondant daisy decor for a baby shower at Karmany Yoga in FW. The client requested not too much pink, per the mommy.

 Love! 

Armadillo Cake

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

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

This order was for 8 dozen Mardi Gras themed cupcakes for an open house at Retina Consultants of FW. They were chocolate and white cupcakes with buttercream frosting and lots of fun Mardi Gras fondant details- masks, beads, etc! 

Drew and Dave's Vintage Inspired Wedding Cake

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.

Red and White Polka Dot Smash Cake & Cupcakes

This smash cake combo is for Scarlett's first birthday! The whole theme of the party is red & white, with lots of polka dots! The smash cake is a confetti cake- with red sprinkles so that even the cake looks polka dotted!! The big red bow is made from fondant. The cupcakes are 2 dozen standard and one dozen mini of the same red confetti cupcakes, with lots of cute matching fondant toppers!

Art Party Cake

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

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

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

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

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

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. 

Tangled Cupcakes

Here is 2 out of the 5 dozen cupcakes for Livia's 4th birthday party with a "Tangled" theme. (Rapunzel) The cupcakes are white, confetti (with sprinkles to match!) and chocolate with colored buttercream to also match the plates and cups. The little fondant braids, crowns, 4's, flowers etc are all made from fondant.

"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

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

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!

Funky Zebra Baby Shower Cupcakes

These cupcakes were based off the design of the invite (can be seen below in collage photo) for Samantha's baby shower! I absolutely loved the invite- so funky & fun!! The cupcakes were a mixture of 2 dozen standard sized and 2 dozen mini cupcakes- vanilla bean, double chocolate, confetti, and red velvet. The fondant toppers and sprinkles were made to match the invite- lots of zebra stripes, bows, polka dots, and flowers.
