New Fall Products Part I

We wanted to say thanks to everyone who braved the chilly weather to come out to the show this weekend! We had a wonderful time and it was wonderful to meet so many new people!



Also, a big thanks to this little girl who gave us a big smile while she modeled one of our new products:



These new hair accessories were revealed for the first time at the show and were a big hit! These adorable handmade flower clips can be worn alone but look especially cute with a matching headband. The handmade headbands are made of a super soft, stretchy material that makes them the perfect fit for little girls of all ages, infant and up!



Buy them separately or as our Headband Sundaes, which feature 1 headband and 1 flower clip, size and color of your choice!



New products will be appearing on our website over the next couple of months, but in the meantime they are available at all of our shows and can be requested via email online!

The Curious Cake Shoppe is Tagged in This Photo!

They have been a long time coming, but until now we never had the time to get them all sorted out. Which makes me even more excited to announce that we now have Curious Cake Shoppe tags! Yay!

Want to see more? Look for them on all our Made From Scratch blankets!

This cake was a custom order for a very sweet woman looking for a cake for her daughter.

She wanted a yellow, green, and white cake three tier cake. After we had discussed this, I found out she had originally started looking online for a stork themed cake, but was unable to find one. I was so very pleased to have this little stork standing by for just the perfect cake.

Congrats to her and her daughter! I hope the baby shower was a great success!

This cake exemplifies one of the many styles of diaper cakes that we offer here at The Curious Cake Shoppe. All the goodies are packed inside where you can't see them, but what you can see are the hand rolled diapers that serve as the foundation for all our diaper cakes.

This custom cake was created as a gift for a local baby shower and the turnaround time was less than 2 days. So, even if Life gets the best of you and you find that your gift giving time period is down to the wire -- check in with us! Chances are we can help you create that perfect gift and still beat the clock.

Until next time...
Cheers!

Looking back on the very first "Made From Scratch" cake...

Well, I'm not sure how I forgot to post this one, but I did!

This is the first cake presented by The Curious Cake Shoppe with all handmade ingredients. It was eagerly constructed for my friends almost immediately after hearing the news that she was pregnant. So, needless to say, it was difficult patiently waiting month after month until it was time to present the cake to them!

They had a beautiful baby boy and we are wishing them nothing but the best!

Diaper Cakes: Not Just for Newborns!

I was so pleased to be able to create this cake for a couple who just adopted a beautiful baby girl. The baby is 12 months old, which made this cake an extra special challenge.

This cake is made of Size 2 diapers to match her age range/weight category, and has a really cute matching onesie & summer dress filling. Finally, I topped the cake off with this larger, super soft stuffed animal and lots of fun pink flowers. And wa-la. What little girl wouldn't love being presented with something like this?

So there you have it. Q.E.D: diaper cakes are not just for newborns.

And on a side note: I am so happy for the family and I hope they all loved the cake as much as I loved making it.

Congrats you three!
