MTV’s ‘16 and Pregnant’ reality star Briana celebrates baby’s birthday with The Sugar Suite!

What a crazy surprise to receive a request for a special cake to celebrate the birthday of Briana’s 1-year-old baby Nova! The ‘16 and Pregnant’ reality star from MTV planned a garden theme for Nova’s birthday – Nova means butterfly – and wanted a beautiful, sunny cake from The Sugar Suite!

 

MTV invited Jennyfer to participate in a televised episode of Nova’s birthday party where she delivered the cake to Briana, Nova and their family. 

Fun fact: Briana requested a chocolate cake, because she thought it would be messier for the baby. What a fun photo opportunity for Nova!

We’ll be sure to let you know when the episode is scheduled to air!

The Hungry Caterpillar

Our little friends give us some of the most fun projects! The Hungry Caterpillar is an adorable childrens book, that we translated into cake for this little girl's first birthday. All of the food is made of colored fondant, including the polka dots at the bottom of the cake.

First Birthday Stacking Rings Cake

Colorful stacking rings make me think of little cooing and crawling babies, so how perfect mom chose this for her baby's first birthday! I added lots of green, blue and yellow to the design to the base of the cake to signify that it was for a boy (not that babies are concern with this), and made sure the teddy bear on top was boy-ish (without eyelashes or a bow).
So bummed I didn't get a picture of how the bear looked after I fixed the toothpicks under his chin.... but thought he was still so darn cute I had to post him :)

Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

These cakes were created for the 2nd birthday of THE sweetest little boy I know! He can't get enough of planes, trains and trucks..... clearly, all boy!

Thomas the Train Cake

Thomas the Train is SO cute! This cake was made for little Chase, who yelled "Thomas!" when I brought in the cake..... by far my favorite reaction of all time! This was the first face I have ever made, and it was so fun I hope people start ordering more cakes with faces (sounds weird, but you know what I mean!)

Where the Wild Things Are Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a couple expecting a little baby boy. The theme they chose for the baby's room is based on the childhood favorite "Where The Wild Things Are" ..... a book about friendly monsters. The art in the book is so unique because of the grey based colors and graphic illustrations. When the husband came to pick up the cupcakes I was so thrilled with his reaction (and so busy) that I remembered I didn't take any pictures of these cupcakes until I was waving him good-bye! Thanks so much to Sean for passing along their photos, these cute little guys were a fun and funky project that I will never forget.

Baseball Cakes

The client said.... "Heidi and I would like to thank you so much for the "Super Baseball Cakes" for Max's birthday! He absolutely adored them! They looked fantastic and tasted so good! It was exactly what he wanted, a cake shaped like a baseball and bat made of yellow cake and vanilla cream filling! He loved them and then to have his T-Ball Team Baseball Hat Cake. Wow, he was so surprised! You did score a home run with the cakes!"

Elmo Birthday Cake

My baby girl's first birthday finally arrived. After much debate about what cake to make for Amelia's special day, I decided to do fondant figurines of her favorite toys (Elmo of course, her rubber duckie and the Blackberry!). I made a banana cake with strawberry buttercream (two of her favorite foods) and she didnt'waste any time digging in! We had to take the cake away from her after she ate about 1/3 of it (which is about three adult slices!)

Princesses and Pirates!

This two cakes were made for the 5th birthday of one of the sweetest little girls in the world. The theme was Princesses and Pirates! When asked what flavor she would like, she asked if she could pick more than one flavor so that everyone could have a flavor THEY liked..... how sweet! We did three different flavors (carrot and vanilla in the castle, and chocolate for the pirate ship), and the two together fed about 50+ guests.
Kids cakes are always so much fun! They love getting involved in the design process, and most kids are familiar with flavors other than just vanilla and chocolate. This little girl wanted carrot cake (wow!), and we have had other similar requests from kids. Kids are cool!
My own daughters first birthday is in 2 weeks and I wish she could tell me what she wanted! :)

Ruby Cake

This cake was for a sweet little girl named Ava who loves Max and Ruby. "Who?" you might ask!..... Max and Ruby is a children's cartoon on the Disney Channel, made in Canada. For her second birthday, Ava wanted everything to be Ruby, but what her mother didn't know was how difficult it would be to find anyone who carried Ruby products. She ended up contacting us for the cake, and bought the invitations on Ebay from someone in Canada. One day I received a frantic phone call from the mom, distraught over the fact that the birthday venue had to move the birthday party to two weeks early. The invitations had just gone out days before, and there was not enough time to get another international shipment. In the end, she pulled off the perfect birthday party with so much grace and everything went smoothly. Its so sweet that the mother dedicated to making her daughters birthday extra special no matter what obstacles came her way!
