Last week was my birthday and my son's birthday too. I hate making cakes, I'm the mom who makes a 9x13 pan, pulls out the store bought frosting and slathers it on, top it with candles and I'm done. But I wanted something more for this year. I'm in a mom group for Weber and Davis counties and I asked who made birthday cakes, Robyn said that she did, I popped onto her blog and perused her blog and cakes. So I ran across this one. And was blown away by her talent and hired her.
She made Hayden a tiger cake (isn't it darling!) and I took advantage of her special at the time and got a "smash cake" for me.
Okay so enough from me!
Here's from Robyn mingled with her cakes! You can visit her blog to see more work HERE!
SWEET ELISE CAKES
"Making your special day sweeter"
"Making your special day sweeter"
For her
daughter Elise's 3rd birthday, Robyn was in search of someone who could
make a Rapunzel-themed cake. Unable to find a cute one within her
budget, she decided she would make it herself. It was a huge success! Word of
mouth spread like wildfire and she started getting requests for numerous cakes
and other sweet treats. Combining her love for baking along with the art of
creating three dimensional confections hit the sweet spot. Mixing
business with pleasure was a no-brainer from that point on. "Sweet
Elise Cakes" was born. It seemed fitting to name the business after her
daughter since she was the reason behind her mother's determination to make her
special day sweeter!

specializes in fondant work & buttercream cakes/cupcakes for any type of
special event, but also can do specialty items such as cookies or cake pops.
