Shimmering butter creme...

For the Wedding Salon cocktail event last night in Malibu, we provided a glistening butter creme two-tiered delight with crunchy-good swirly accents for 100+ guests.

.
We are so pleased to be participating in the Wedding Salon again this year, at the London Hotel in West Hollywood on Monday, September 14th (4pm-9pm)

We'd love to see you there; for more information, check out http://www.weddingsalon.com/

New Designs...always!

Our "First Edition" version of Twilight, complete with a 3-D apple, is sure to feed the need of the most voracious fan. Can you imagine cutting into this...and finding Red Velvet cake inside?




















This new tropical themed cake has so many
possibilities...a Hawaiian wedding, beach party, or even Sponge Bob for the kids! Wiki wiki!






















Another client wanted to incorporate their own print onto a tier, and top it off with a hand-made pineapple. Fun times!



Hermes...

Elegance with Calla Lilies...




A fabulous Rubber Ducky Baby Shower...
...and a B*I*G "W" for the new "W" Hotel in Hollywood!
Finally, the biggest "Tales of Peter Rabbit" we've ever had the fun to create, along with friends Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, and a new little turtle. This G*I*A*N*T book was delivered all the way up near San Francisco!

It's been a very busy week around here...

Of course, we're not complaining, but it has been a very busy week here at Hansen's Cakes. Besides the usual orders and questions, we've been getting calls with queries about our sculpted cakes from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, thanks to our favorite reality show stars, Tori & Dean. We are aware that a very special cake will be featured on this coming Tuesday, August 4th's episode, but were thrilled to find out that they included us in last week's episode as well!
We'll show you some photos of baby Stella's cake after the show airs this week...you're gonna love it!

Here's a Hannah Montana cake we made today for a special girl. Very colorful and festive!






Then, a sporty cake went out today.




Chino is working on a cool skate board...

...and one lucky child is getting our new pirate design.




Numbers are always a fabulous design option, with limitless themed possibilities...






...or you can have us hand-paint any important document to celebrate the occasion!

Wedding time...



















...and bursts of joy!
