Alex and his family have been long time Sweet Sensations cake eaters!  This was his 9th birthday…can’t believe it!!!

Kaylee and her family are joining the ranks of families who have our cakes, annually, for all their birthdays!!  They really wanted something extra special for her birthday in celebration of her design major.  The dress on the mannequin is part of one she designed that is going to be used in a Disney production!!!

Everything on the cake is edible…made in the Sweet Sensations shoppe!!

Inspired by our delighted customers upon seeing their cakes.

One of my favorite places on the planet is the International School of Sugar Art.  Nicholas Lodge is the best instructor to be found anywhere and there is a stack of certificates from the fantastic classes, I’ve had the honor of attending, in the shoppe.

When I heard Mike McCarey of Mike’s Amazing Cakes, my favorite 3D cake artist, was going to be at ISAC I only hesitated a moment….he won’t be Nick, but I love his work.  Was so not disappointed!!!  The class was about modeling chocolate….this is the dinosaur we made (we named him Michael after Mike’s fun assistant).

Nick Lodge and Mike McCarey…..talent times two!

The muscle behind it all…Michael rolling out the chocolate clay.

Then it was off to Savannah to Minette Rushing’s Custom Cakes for three days of master sugarpaste flower class with Ron Ben-Israel!

Fun filled days learning from Ron and teaching him the art of “bless her heart!”.

Isn’t he adorable?!?!?   Kate Essenberg took these photos, thank goodness because we’re having computer issues with the camera card.
