Sweet Babies...

Babies, babies everywhere!  Our friends are having babies left and right, and we are thrilled for each and every family.  This baby shower was a rubber ducky theme, and I strolled around the internet until I found this idea.  I filled the bucket so the cake could sit on top.  It was the first vanilla pound cake that I have made, and I was very happy with the recipe.  Congratulations, Gibbs family!  We can't wait to see your little guy!

And His Name Is....

As the Johnston's prepare to welcome their 2nd little guy, we threw a sports themed baby shower. This was a double layer chocolate cake on the bottom, and the golf ball was lemon flavored. Congratulations Chad, Miranda, and Ranger! We can't wait to meet your little one, and find out his name!

Congratulations!


There is no one that knows how to throw a party better than Eleanor! When Matt graduated from Chiropractor school, Eleanor asked me to make a cake for his party. This was a fun cake to make. The image you see is an edible image made with a special printer. The cake topper is a bobble head, and it made me laugh! Congrats, Matt!

Zebra Anyone?


For Hattie's baby shower, we had hot pink and zebra print decor. I was really pleased with how this one turned out, and it was strawberry too! Baby Charlotte is now here, and she is just precious!

Have Your Sports and Eat It Too...



This is Chase, my nephew. This year he turned 11 and he wanted a Haylee Cake, so when thinking of what to make for him it was a no brainer...he is an excellent golfer and I love to watch him play! He is also the inspiration behind the name "Haylee Cakes". When asking him what I should name my blog and my cakes, he came up with the name you see today. It was catchy and it stuck. Thanks Chase!

Living on Love!



In October of 2009, my parents celebrated their 40th anniversary! My family all got together at my house for a celebration weekend full of laughs, food, and lots of family pictures! I made them a wedding cake, and yes, we made them cut it just like they did 40 years ago. We love you Mom & Dad!!

Elmo!


Who doesn't love Elmo! Well, I know this...there is not a 2 year old that I know that doesn't go crazy for this character. He is pretty cute. This one was for Caroline on her 2nd birthday!

Back on the Farm



Last year, the Chamblee twins had their 1st birthday! It was a farm theme, so I made a barn for the guests, and individual smash cakes for the honorees. For Jake I made a cow and for Mallory I made a pig. Their 2nd birthday is coming up soon...It's a zoo when 2 are 2! Can't wait!

Every Occasion Deserves a Haylee Cake



My in-laws built a house on the ranch and it is absolutely wonderful! It is our favorite get-a-away place, and we always have such a great time there whether it's hunting, fishing, driving the tractor, or hanging out on the porch with family and Harley(our dog). The weekend we moved into the house, we had a big celebration dinner for the whole family and I made a cake to commemorate the event. Nothin' runs like a deere!

Doggy Cakes?


Yes, this is a birthday cake for a dog! It was not dog friendly as far as the dog being able to eat it, but the owners sure enjoyed it!

In the Beginning...





These are the cakes that were created during my decorating classes to demostrate the different techniques.

A cake for you!

Two of the best things in the world are cake and art. White cake, chocolate cake, pound cake or bundt cake....it doesn't matter what kind, I like them all! On the other hand, art can be such an exciting and invigorating part of life - a way for every person to show their true style. So, why not combine those two great things into one...and that's where I come in with Haylee Cakes. Whether it's for a birthday, a special occasion, a grand achievement, or just for the fun of it, there is a unique cake for you. Just give me a general idea of what you are looking for and get ready for an enjoyable time with cake made especially for you.
