Smith & Bennefeld Wedding


This happy couple was also married in October. They tied the knot on the Eleventh and had their reception right here in Pittsburg.

With the help of one of their daughters we put the final touches (the leaves) on the Wedding cake and completed the beautiful decorations at the reception.



Thank you for finding us and letting us be a part of your special day!

Hull & Hill Wedding

When Lauren (the bride to be) first contacted us about creating her Wedding Cake she told us that she wanted three cakes. A Groom's Cake, a Bride's Cake, and a Wedding Cake. Now, I was a little awed by this because typically the Wedding Cake is the Bride's cake. But, we always love new things! So, we went with it. Since Lauren is such a huge Longhorn fan we created a cake in the shape of the Longhorn logo covered in MMF just for her. Now, whether she shared her cake with anyone...we don't know =).



And for Vincent, the lover of all things Ferrari (a talented mechanic), we created a cake in the shape of the Ferrari emblem and hand piped the logo on MMF.



Now for the Wedding Cake. They both wanted something simple but elegant. Here is what we came up with and we managed to make all of these uncommon themes come together.



Much to our delight the couple loved all three of their cakes just as much as we enjoyed creating them.


We stole this pic off of their myspace page. Congratulations you two!

McWhirt & VanBecelaere Wedding

Fall Weddings are very popular these days and rightfully so. For every Fall Wedding we created Sweets for the weather was just beautiful. One of the Weddings was that of Amber McWhirt & Jason VanBecelaere. We didn't have to travel too far for this Wedding Cake, only to Frontenac.



This Square Wedding Cake consisted of Classic Vanilla and Strawberry Yumm Cake all covered in our BC frosting. We accented the cake with edible hand made MMF leaves that were painted to match the hand crafted wooden topper at the top of the cake (painted by the bride). The Wedding Cake was placed on top of clear glass blocks that were illuminated with lights. The inspiration of the cake came from a drawing done by Amber herself. This simple but timeless fall themed cake was perfect for their October Wedding.


Congratulations Amber & Jason! We wish you lots of love and many, many happy years together!

Baker & Fuentez Wedding

What a beautiful day for a fall wedding. We traveled South West in October to Parsons, KS to sweeten up the Wedding Reception of Halee Baker and John Fuentez. We created this large SweetCake Tower for the couple along with a Poker/Vegas inspired Groom's Cake.



The Tower was embellished with ribbon and floral pearls. The SweetCakes consisted of "Spiced Up" with CreamCheese frosting, Classic Vanilla & Classic Chocolate with BC frosting. The topper cake was a dummy cake with a real SweetCake on top for the cutting of the cake. This tower of sweets turned out almost as gorgeous as the bride!

The Groom's Cake was created especially for John from Halee with a card table theme and messages about the two. After all, they did honeymoon in Vegas! The cake was Classic Chocolate with Chocolate BC frosting & Chocolate MMF adorned with Poker Chips and Dice. The cards were made from MMF with their initials and hearts hand painted.



Thank you John & Halee for being such a wonderful happy couple! It was a pleasure to work with you. We wish you all the best in your new married life together.

Lehman & Odle Wedding

Ms. Nelle Odle contacted me one week before her Wedding to Jason Lehman.


I met with Nelle & Jason and we came up with lots of sweets for the reception such as; Chocolate Covered Strawberries, CakeBites, SweetCakes & a Chocolate Fondant Groom's Cake. They were decorating with a lodge/hunting theme at the reception (at Dalton's Event Facility) and wanted something unique to go with the theme. This is what we came up with.


Here are the SweetCakes with hand molded Fondant Deer Antlers and lots of Chocolate Covered Strawberries. We created each antler individually and painted each one by hand to give it a textured look.


This is what the entire Groom's Cake table looked like:


The Groom's Cake was chocolate with chocolate filling and covered in our Chocolate Marshmallow Fondant. We topped the cake with Deer Antlers & trimmed it out in Gun Shells. The cake was elevated on the table by an actual tree trunk. You can see this theme throughout the entire decor. Even at the Candy Bar.


And for table decorations.


The Deer Antlers were also all over in the decorations. Here is a picture of the Wedding Party Table:





We placed the CakeBites on the Wedding Cake Table along with some more Chocolate Covered Strawberries. We didn't have the honor of creating the Wedding Cake (a family member made the beautiful Wedding Cake), but we had fun making all the unique Sweets to go along with it.


We just wanted to thank Nelle and Jason so much for finding us & letting us create such one of a kind Confections for their special day. We hope you and your guests enjoyed them! Congratulations and have a wonderful honeymoon!

Helms Wedding

This magnificent pink & black Wedding Cake was created for Gracie & Jarrod Helms. They actually got married last year but decided to have the official Wedding & Reception this year. By doing this they were able to plan a very special event. The Wedding Reception was held at Parrot Bey here in Pittsburg.


You can reach Brent at Parrot Bey by calling: (620) 232-5665

Parrot Bey is already such a wonderful location for a reception. The Helms made it even better. The decorations were classy & elegant with a splash of funkiness. Pink & Black looked awesome together. Especially on the cake.


The cake was decorated completely in BC frosting with black BC hand piped accents and pink ribbon. The design was inspired from a cake featured in an add for David's Bridal. We adapted the original design & combined it with our own. We think it turned out stunning.
