Monogram Wedding Cake







We just wanted to include Jennifer's wedding cake that she choose to compliment the cupcake towers below. She wanted a cake that matched her Gerber Daisy theme. I've been doing cakes for almost 12 years now and I still get nervous doing square cakes... there my nemesis but everyone loves the results... it's just one of those things I guess. To view our 2 albums of wedding cakes please call for an appointment.

Cake... Carolina Cakes & Confections Southern Style Neopalitan Cake



Here are pictures of two great sweets... My husband and his birthday cake. We surprised him with a cake tower from the bakery. Here we have a European style cake with a southern flair. For those of you who know us, you are well aware that we do not serve pound cake. We created this cake to fit southern tastes which includes Vanilla, Chocolate Banana's Foster, and of course Southern Red Velvet. We thought it would be a fun play on the original. As pastry chefs, these recipes are true to the art so yes, we do flambe our Banana's Foster with Rum... so Yum! Happy 49th Birthday Baby! Did he get a new camera? Well close, I got him a new video camera, which takes pictures as well.

Baby Shower Cake "Under The Sea" At Blue Water Grill: Marble Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Icing

Press: Our baby shower designs have been featured on
Baby Shower Cakes an organization that features
unique baby shower cakes. We are happy to have
been chosen for their acticle.



I have a new client that I must say that she really adores her best friend. She found the pattern to the baby blanket set in the baby's nursery and asked us to match the cake to the blanket. It is the best feeling in the world not only to have someone like your work, enjoy the taste, and give out a big hug in return for the effort. We also received a phone call the next morning after the shower. My customer Bonnie had rave reviews to say. This cake was shown off at the Blue Water Grill were we are a preferred vendor.

Lemon Cake Topper with Lemon Italian Ice Buttercream




Monogram cupcakes for a very special bridal shower. Wedding Planner Parker Swann of Raleigh commissioned our bakery to do a bridal shower cupcake tower for a close family friend. We get calls from brides all the time from Raleigh but to be chosen to do an event for a professional wedding planner speaks volumes about our bakery. We created the stand for this lovely event. I don't like things that are too matchy, matchy so I chose a lemon yellow in the stand and a butter yellow for the icing and cupcakes. The City Club has asked us to work with upcoming events as well. From one chef to another, I cannot be happier...Thanks Parker.
