Cake decorating has been something that I have always dreamed of doing full time. When I first started, I didn’t know how to begin. Where do I learn? With 3 kids I couldn’t afford the time, or money to go to culinary school. Besides, there wasn’t one available nearby. I found this video training for cake decorating. The cake decorating video shows you everything you need to know to get started decorating cakes.

This Carolina Blue Topsy birthday cake idea was custom designed for Tim by LaKrystal. Happy Birthday TIM!

Topsy cakes look out of this world and are fun to make!

"The Carolina topsy turvy cake was a big hit at the party! It really "WOW"ed everyone! It was Delicious! Thanks so much for making it. Piece-A-Cake is our #1 cake headquarters! You are So Very Awesome!" LaKrystal - Raleigh

This TOPSY I made for my sister’s 23rd birthday cake.

She was celebrating it with lots of close friends at a local restaurant. She wanted it to have that uneven look, so that’s what she got!

The bottom tier was chocolate with cream cheese icing.

The second tier is French vanilla with cream cheese icing and I can’t remember what the 3rd tier was, LOL! Sorry Sis.

I covered them all in our special fondant and with the leftover fondant I cut out different size circles for each cake and placed them on by using water that acts as glue.

I assembled them by staggering them, and placed a dowel rod all the way through the tiers to stabilize them. I then added ribbon around each tier and placed a store-bought gift ribbon on top.

She was very pleased and everyone at the party commented favorably.

Price $ 85

I made this "Blues Clues" birthday cake idea for my youngest son’s 2nd birthday. It was a quick last minute thing.

It turned out just perfect!

It is a basic chocolate cake with cream cheese icing.

I picked the blues clues picture off the Internet and printed it out on the edible ink printer.

He enjoyed it and to this day is my biggest cake customer!

Price $ 30 (8” x 4” round)

Some things never change

Here he is celebrating his fifth birthday with a Pokemon cake.

As he grows each year his interest changes, from cartoons to video games.

I wonder what next year will bring?

When a child sees their passion on their birthday cake their eyes light up and the joy shines!

He is still my biggest cake customer and my little angel.

Happy Birthday Xander Neal English!

Warning! This is not a burrito, it's ALL cake.

This birthday cake idea was for a local company employee's birthday party. He just so happened to be a Spanish American and they wanted something with a Mexican theme. The man loved carrot cake so I made a simple carrot cake fondant burrito with cream cheese icing.

Case of 10 Burritos for $35

I made the wrap with brown colored fondant cut into a circle. I crumbled up the cake, placed it inside the fondant and put a dip of cream cheese icing on top. There you have a burrito look! I placed 10 of them in a Taco Bell bag which they sat on the conference table. Everyone got a few good laughs.

This cake is for the chocolate-cherry lover. We start out with just a simple yellow cake mix, 2 inches high; tiers are 10”, 8”, & 6”.

Covered with chocolate icing with cherries for the toppers and arranged around the cakes.

Delicious and affordable!

This candy birthday cake idea was a very fun cake to make and it was just as much fun shopping for the toppings to go on it! This was her 10th birthday and she had a long list of desires for the cake, so we did them all!

This birthday cake idea was for a neighbor. My children were over at their house playing when all of a sudden my daughter came running in telling me:

"It's Zari's birthday today and she wanted a lemon cake".

Well she wanted to make her a surprise cake. Luckily I had the ingredients for a lemon cake, so my daughter and me whipped up a miniature cake. We made this beautiful little girl her very own cake.

Also my daughter said Zari had been wearing her favorite hat which was white with black dots, so I just so happened had some ribbon that was black with white polka dots.

I wrapped that around the bottom of the cakes and put black dots all around the rest of the cakes.

I believe this cake was meant to be cause when we arrived at her house her hat matched perfectly even the bottom along with the pink rose on the hat!

"Dear Mrs. Stephanie, thank you for my beautiful cake. I just loved the polka dots! The cake was so good!" Love, Zari
