Mayo Bowl

Back in March, we created and donated a cake for Jerod Mayo's 1st Annual Mayo Bowl, a bowling tournament fundraiser. The tournament was a great success and all the proceeds went to Pitching in for Kids!

The cake was a big hit too and we were happy to donate it to benefit such a great cause!

Those pins and that bowling ball - they're made out of chocolate! And the wood grain on the lane itself is hand-done!

Beach Wedding

Today's featured Weddings Wednesday cake is perfect for a beach wedding!

The white chocolate sea shells on this cake pop out against the beautiful blue of the buttercream.

New Design Contest!

The Chef just recently created a new design for our portfolio and we need your help! We have so many designs that we're having a difficult time naming this one.

That's where you come in! Take a look at the new design and leave us a comment telling us what you would name this new design!

Gambling

Aida's 60th birthday cake is the focus of Featured Friday this week.

This fun custom cake was cut out in the shape of the numbers 6 and 0. The 6 was then decorated like a card table and the 0 like a roulette wheel. Add some rolled chocolate cards, chips and dice and I bet everyone at the party enjoyed this masterpiece!

Something Blue

I don't know if this couple had something old, new and borrowed, but they certainly had something blue...

Today's featured Weddings Wednesday cake was covered in a blue rolled chocolate cover, and decorated with rolled chocolate flowers and bows.

Ginger Molasses Cookies

We talk about our decorated shortbread cookies a lot, but we have a variety of home style cookies available in our retail store and for order as well. So today for Tasty Tuesday, we're featuring our Ginger Molasses Cookies.

These cookies are a customer and employee favorite! Unlike ginger snaps, these are soft cookies that just melt in your mouth, and the bite of the ginger is nicely balanced by the sweet drizzle on top!

Graduation!

High school and college graduations are coming up SOON, and as a result so are all the graduation parties to celebrate. So for Featured Friday today we're sharing a custom graduation cake from last year to inspire you!

Whether you order something completely custom like this cake, or something a little more traditional, start thinking about getting your graduation cake orders in soon!

Ganache

Today's Weddings Wednesday cake is not your typical white cake, but it is just as elegant!

This unique cake has a different shaped cake for every tier. Covered in chocolate ganache, the hand-piped design work really stands out in chocolate buttercream. It is then beautifully accented with fresh roses for a pop of color!

Baby Showers

Spring is a popular time for baby showers, but no matter what time of year you're hosting a shower, Dessert Works has the perfect favors for your guests!

These adorable onesie cookies are a popular choice!




Or maybe you prefer a duck cookie to go with your rubber ducky theme!

Whatever your theme or color scheme, we have many shapes and designs to give your guests a delicious treat to thank them for coming to the shower!

Shoes!

Sylvia, like a lot of women, has a LOVE of shoes! So her husband ordered this custom cake to celebrate her birthday!

This simple but elegant cake had our cascading lace design in black and a custom pair of hand sculpted, rolled chocolate shoes on top! Be sure to click on the photos to make them larger and see all the fabulous details in those shoes!

Chocolate Curls

Sometimes, less is more. These festive chocolate curls were the perfect compliment to this simple, modern wedding cake.
