SDC on KSN!

Sweet Designs Cakery will be featured on a short segment TONIGHT on the t.v. station KSN (channel 16). The segment will air at 6 p.m. tonight November 18, 2009.


Liz Bryant contacted us about a month ago asking if she could do a short story about the Cake Shop and how it got started. We believe the segment has to do with hobbies becoming careers. We are very excited to see what they came up with at KSN.

While they were here we hand painted a fondant piece with the KSN peacock logo. Here is a sketch of what we worked on, maybe you will see it on-air tonight!


The interview was conducted with Heather, the owner. She had a cold and didn't feel well at the time, so lets hope that doesn't show through =). And, if it does, you can watch anyway and laugh at her!

So, just look for this face and this logo and you'll have the right channel! Don't forget, 6 p.m. TONIGHT! If you can come in tomorrow and tell us that you watched the program we'll give you a free cupcake! Make sure you pay attention though, we might ask questions like, what was Heather wearing?

CupCakes for the Cure

For the entire month of October (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) Sweet Designs Cakery will be selling CupCakes for the cure of Breast Cancer. All proceeds (by this we mean every single penny) raised from the sell of Breast Cancer Cupcakes will be given to the Mount Carmel Foundation at the end of the month.

CupCakes are available in any flavor, but will be decorated in shades of pink/white with the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon. Breast Cancer CupCakes may be ordered ahead of time by the dozen or you can come on down to the shop and pick up a few at a time.



CupCakes will be similar to this picture, but decoration will vary. You can order these adorable cups of deliciousness at $12 per dozen or come on down to the shop and pick up a single cup for $1.50.

Please, help SDC support this important cause. We will also be at the Sip & Shop October 18 where we will sell more CupCakes for the Cure. If you would like more information about the Sip & Shop, please feel free to call or send us an email! We would gladly invite you as our guest.

The money raised for our CupCakes for the Cure and the Sip & Shop can be seen in your own community. The Mobile Mammography Van is partially powered by contributions such as this, printed materials that are passed out to women in the community, and special presentations about the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness are all things that are made available through the Mount Carmel Foundation to the Pittsburg and surrounding area women.

Call today to place your order for next week, or drop in and pick up a CupCake for the Cure!

In the Spirit of Halloween: Every bite helps!

Paint the Town Red

The tradition of Paint the Town Red continued this year and we jumped on board. It was a lot of fun coming up with a window display idea and then actually doing it! Not really knowing what to expect or how it would all turn out in the end we did pretty well. Most of all we had a great time doing it. We got to support our local football team, be a part of the community and show the town our creativity.

Here are a few pictures of our decorations just in case you didn't get to see them while they were up.


This is a front view of the shop. We decided to use plastic to cover our windows so that we wouldn't make a huge mess on the sidewalk when we cleaned it off...to our surprise you could see the Sweet Designs Cakery letters through the plastic. But, it still looked okay and did the job. In the right lighting, you couldn't tell. The huge fork and piece of cake were pretty cool and helped out our theme.


We borrowed (more like bribed them with cake) a Gorilla from Miller's for our window. We had the Gorilla setting at a table with a slice of cake that had the rival team's logo on it. He was getting ready to devour the Bronchos (yes, we spelled bronchos wrong on the window). We had lighting on him so you could see better.


And on the other window our friend Justin Troutman painted this Grrrilla. A scary one! Maybe that is why we tied for 2nd place??? The judges were too frightened to give us 3rd? =)

In our division we tied for 2nd place getting beat by Sara Lorees Bridal and Formal. We tied with Everything Sew Sew and Celebrations by Lori got 3rd Place. This year was very stiff competition. It was a lot of fun to see all the different themes and ways to decorate. We didn't go as bananas as the City of Pittsburg, but maybe we will next year? By the way, Pitt State won their game on Saturday and we were there to see it. Our first PSU football game! What an overwhelming turnout of people and support. Go Pitt!

Fun with Birthday Cakes

Really all we have time for these days is to blog about our Wedding Cakes and special events. So, we thought we would throw one in to show some of the fun birthday cakes we have made recently. Others that are not shown here can be seen on our website at: www.SweetDesignsCakery.com


A Cinderella Themed birthday cake for a pretty little princess.


A Mystery Science Theatre themed birthday cake. If you don't know what Mystery Science Theatre is, you should definitely look it up! Funny stuff.


A Beach Baby themed First Birthday cake complete with small Smash Cake, sand, sun glasses, beach chair, bucket, shovel and umbrella.


Birthday CupCake Tower decorated in a Monkey theme for a cutie named Kendall


Kendall with her very own cupcake and daddy.


More CupCakes anybody? This two tier cake was made for a 1st Birthday with a CupCake theme. The CupCake at the top was for the birthday girl. Her mommy provided a sketch for us. We hope we made your cake idea come true!


Who can forget Sponge Bob! We made this cute little 4 inch cake to go along with some Sponge Bob Cupcakes. A lot of color packed in a little cake!


How stinkin' adorable is this one? The grandmother of the little girl brought in her shirt with the tiger on it and asked if we could do something similar, so we did and it turned our trrrrrriffic!

Well, that is all we have time for for now. As we said before, check out more pictures of cakes on our website! We will try and keep them up to date.

Have a great week everyone!
