I'm Andrea, the owner and designer behind T-Cakes. But more importantly, I'm the full-time "mommy" to my two little boys, and I'm married to my best friend and biggest supporter. Our days are filled with playing, exploring, and enjoying the tiny pleasures of simple, ordinary moments. But when my wee ones are fast asleep, you can find me creating, crafting, and fulfilling dreams of my own.

Dr. Who
I can't say I had ever heard much about this show until my client Catherine asked me to make a cake in this theme :) I did a few google searches and cake up with this simple and fun cake!!

Veggie Tales Cake!
My boys love Veggie Tales and I was so glad to have client ask for a cake!! It was super fun and I am really happy with the way the characters turned out. I always get nervous trying to make characters look authentic. Happy birthday Malachi!!

Princess in Paris
Shereen contacted me from an online ad and wanted a specific cake for her little one's 1st birthday. This was a very girly and classy cake and I loved the way it turned out. My favorite part of my "job" is seeing reactions from family members when the cake is delivered. Super sweet <3
Squish the Spider!!
What is better way to celebrate a little boy's 5th birthday than a huge spider cake??? Super fun to make and I love when clients give me a challenge!
Mad Hatter Cake
I have NEVER been asked to do a three tiered mad hatter cake, so of course I did some studying on youtube before taking on this challenge. Although this was a relatively small cake, mad matter cakes take a lot of time to construct. I loved every minute of the nail biting experience and I LOVED the way it turned out :)
Lacy Wedding
This was one of the BIGGEST cakes that I have made in a while :) It was an 8, 12 and 16" three tiered cake that probably weighed a good 50 pounds! I recruited my mom to help me deliver and help me get it to the table.
Brooke's wedding was at a local winery not too far away from my house. I loved the touches of vintage charm that she added to the decor. She asked for a very simple ivory cake with lace accents on the center tier. Her soon-to-be brother in law (who is in high school) made the adorable topper for them. I thought it was JUST what the cake needed.
I hope to get professional pictures soon!
Girly is what she wanted :)
Ashely contacted me and simply wanted a "girly" cake. Her daughter loves pink and purple and she didn't want a specific theme. I ran with the colors and came up with this fun cake. I LOVED her daughters face when she walked into my house!!
Katie and Parris are such a cute couple :) We met u a few months ago and planned a wedding for the end of December here in town. They later decided that they were trying to please everyone and really wanted a smaller, intimate wedding on the coast.
The smaller cake was for the two of them to cut and they also chose to order a larger cake to match that was sugar free, because many of their loved ones could not eat a lot of sugar. Cake pops served as favors for their guests and each had a little sea shell charm.
I wish them the best in their future!
(Professional pictures to come!!)
All "Tangled" Cake
Love this cake...... I love all girly cakes :) I purchased these characters at the Disney Store and I love the fact that the birthday girl can have an awesome cake, and then get to keep the toys when the yummy cake is all gone :)
This is a butter cream cake with fondant decorations.
Cowboys Jersey
I love the fact that I have been lucky enough to have many repeat customers. Jasmine is one of those customers. She is so sweet and awesome to call to order a cool cake for her husband. He's a huge Cowboys fan and enjoyed #22 from back in the day :)
Vintage Wedding Cupcake Buffet
I love when brides think outside the box and choose a different option other than a huge cake. Janelle contacted me from an online ad and I was excited to meet up with her. She was having a very lovely, vintage style wedding at The Grove in Sanger. She wanted a cupcake buffet for her 150 guests as well as a small cake for her and her new husband to cut for pictures. It was a lovely evening at a lovely venue! Here are a few snap shots I took. I have seen the professional pictures and should be getting a copy soon!
Old Age
Love it when my clients give me a little freedom to design a cake. Catherine wanted an Old Age themed cake as a funny little gift to her best guy friend. This cake was completely edible with an AARP card, Hair loss cream, and of course the little blue pills :)
Thanks for another order Catherine!
Roasted Pig Luau
A couple randomly contacted me saying that their baker wasn't responding to them for their order. They had ordered a roasted pig cake for their father's birthday luau and asked if I could do it for them. I was excited to try something very different from anything I've ever attempted..........but it was FUN!!

Fresh Beat Band Cake
I have to admit that I had never, even with two little kids, ever heard of "The Fresh Beat Band." Tiffany, a new facebook friend, contacted me for her daughters 3rd birthday and I had to google the show :) I found a great shop on etsy.com that made custom edible cake toppers and ordered on for Stella's cake. Tiffany asked for bright pinks, green, orange etc, and with the added sparkles I think it turned out great. They later posted that it was the hit of the party :)
PURPLEY
Breanna, a long time client asked me to make her daughters cupcakes for her Zebra and Purple themed birthday party. The cupcakes were topped with girly, sparkly flowers guaranteed to make the birthday girl smile :)
The cupcake cups were a white and black zebra print.
Rock N' Roll
Our little family friend jared was Turning 6 (I can't believe how time flies!!) and his mommy, and my dear friend contacted me asking for a Rock Star cake and cupcakes.
I was timid to try an actual guitar, but I knew I needed to step it up :) I found a rad guitar shaped pan at my local cake decorating shop and gave it a try. I loved the way it turned out and I LOVED his smile in this picture she posted on facebook :-D

I've enjoyed making some fun orders for our friend Danielle. This time she ordered for her 5 year old's birthday. Angry Birds seem to be very popular and I LOVE making these little creatures!!
Baby Boy Bump Cake
This new client contracted me from my online ad and wanted a very simple belly cake. Red velvet and cream cheese frosting seemed to be very popular this week ;) I hope she enjoy
s her precious bundle of joy!
Wedding Bliss
I LOVED making something different for a bridal shower. My client asked for black and white with hydrangea flowers. I love how simple they look, but underneath are yummy red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Perfect for a special bridal shower :)

Olivia The Pig Cake
One of our new neighbors knocked on my door one Saturday morning asking for business cards :) Kim was one of the people who got her hands on a card and emailed me right away to book her daughters 3rd birthday cake. Kim is a party QUEEN! Everything was super adorable and super organized.
She ordered an quilted smash cake with Olivia on it for the birthday girl, and cupcakes, cake pops and marshmallow pops to much. Super Cute!!! It was really nice to see everything come together for her and her adorable family!!
Baby Dallas
Our neighbors and friends recently had a baby shower for their little Dallas. He is the cutest little guy and we were trilled to celebrate with his family!!
Gone Fishin'
Little Caleb was turning 6 and LOVES to go fishing. He wished for a trout cake and that he got!! I formed this trout out of fondant and painted it to look like a rainbow trout. What fun it was and I was trilled that he loved his cake!!

Brittany + Andrew = Love
Brittany hired me to do her very large and very purple wedding cake (Pictures coming soon) and later realized that I did flowers as well. She hired me to do her bouquet as well as 4 of her attendants and 8 boutonierres. I delivered them today at noon and I will be delivering her cake in a couple of hours. I really love flowers and I am so happy that they chose me to be a part of their special day.
All Loaded Up and ready to go!!
Jordan
A little over a year ago, I made a very special cake for a NEW client's baby shower. A year and 10 cakes later I am making her son's 1st birthday cake. How time flies when you're having fun. Thank you Hope for all of your fabulous orders. You keep my hoppin'!! :)
