🌊⚡ Aiyana absolutely knocked this one out of the park! ⚡🌊

Check out this incredible Percy Jackson-inspired cake she created last week! 😍

This beauty is a 6-inch, FOUR-layer cake featuring an edible image wrap that completely transforms the outside of the cake. But the part that really takes it over the top? Those amazing rice paper water effects! 🌊 The translucent blue pieces give the cake so much movement and dimension—it looks like the water is crashing right out of the design!

Aiyana did such an amazing job bringing all of the elements together, and the finished cake turned out SO GOOD. 💙

Help us show her some love for this one because she definitely deserves it! 👏🎂✨

📣 Storefront Update for Next Week! 🎂💍

You all have certainly been keeping us busy! 🥹💕 Our custom and wedding order calendar for next week is officially FULL!

With so many cakes and special orders heading out the door, we’re going to be putting all of our time (and oven space 😂) into making sure every order gets the attention it deserves.

Because of that, our storefront will be CLOSED Monday, August 31st through Thursday, September 3rd, and we will not have our pastry case stocked next week.

We are also no longer accepting additional orders for that week. Our next available date for custom order pickup or delivery is:
🎂 Tuesday, September 8th

We hate missing a week of seeing everyone in the Cottage, but being THIS busy with your celebrations is a pretty wonderful reason to close the case. 💕 We are incredibly grateful for every cake, wedding, birthday, and special occasion you trust us to be a part of.

We’ll see you back at the Cottage soon — now it’s time to get baking! 🧁💪✨

🥓🍁 Bourbon Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls... Need we say more? 🤤

These beauties start with soft cinnamon rolls swirled with a rich brown sugar cinnamon filling, then we load them up with bourbon candied bacon—both inside AND on top because there's no such thing as too much bacon. 🥓

Finally, the whole thing gets a drizzle of sweet maple glaze to bring it all together. Sweet, salty, gooey, maple-y goodness in every bite.

If you're a maple bacon person, this one has your name written all over it. 😍🍁🥓

Available in the case at The Cottage Cakery while supplies last!

🌟 And now it’s Abby’s turn! 🌟

Abby had one customer cake on her decorating list last week, and she did an amazing job! 🎂 She got some great practice smoothing and coating the cake, then put her piping skills to work creating beautiful buttercream flowers. 🌸

She also spent some time decorating cakes for our bakery case, which gives her the perfect opportunity to practice new techniques, experiment, and continue building her confidence.

One of my favorite parts of having Abby as our intern has been watching her skills grow with every cake she touches. She’s come such a long way, and we’re so proud of the progress she continues to make! 💛

Help us give Abby some love for another beautiful week of decorating! 🧁🌸✨

🎂✨ Now it’s Aiyana’s turn to show off! ✨🎂

Aiyana was busy at the decorating table last week, and she absolutely crushed it! 🙌 She created a **two-layer chocolate chip cookie cake with a soccer theme**, a super fun **golf-themed cake**, AND an incredible **Minecraft cake complete with two dozen matching cupcakes!** ⚽⛳⛏️

One of the things I love most about having Aiyana on our team is the creativity and talent she brings to every order. It’s been so exciting watching more and more beautiful cakes leave The Cottage! 💛

Take a look at her creations and help us show Aiyana some love — **which one is your favorite?** 👇🎂

🎂✨ A few of my creations from last week! ✨🎂

Now that we have multiple decorators creating beautiful cakes here at The Cottage Cakery, I thought it would be fun to start showing off everyone’s work separately! These are a few of the cakes that came across **my decorating table** last week. 💕

One of my favorite things about custom cakes is that no two weeks ever look the same. Every order brings a completely different theme, style, and creative challenge—and that’s a big part of why I still love doing this so much. 🥰

I’ll be sharing Aiyana and Abby’s creations separately, too, because these talented ladies have been absolutely crushing it! 🎉

For now, take a peek through mine and tell me: **Which one is your favorite?** 👀🎂

🐾🎂 A Sweet Treat for a Wonderful Cause! ❤️

One of the amazing volunteers with Schnauzer Love Rescue recently reached out to us looking for a cake and cupcakes for an upcoming event, and we were so happy to help create something special for them!

Aiyana took on the adorable schnauzer cake, while I handled the matching schnauzer cupcakes—and I’ll happily admit that Aiyana definitely got the harder assignment. 😂 She absolutely CRUSHED IT! From that sweet little face to all of the furry details, she brought this little pup to life in cake form. 🐶🎂

A huge thank you to Schnauzer Love Rescue and all of its volunteers for the work you do rescuing schnauzers and helping them find loving forever homes. 🐾❤️ We’re so glad everyone enjoyed the cake and cupcakes, and we loved getting to play a small part in such a wonderful cause!

💍🎂 A little wedding cake love from last weekend!

This beauty was a three-tier red velvet cake finished with cream cheese frosting in a romantic semi-naked style. ❤️ She just barely squeezed into our CakeSafe for the trip 😂, but made it safely to her destination and turned out absolutely beautiful!

There’s something about the simple, elegant look of a semi-naked wedding cake that we’ll never get tired of. Congratulations to the happy couple, and thank you for trusting The Cottage Cakery to be a sweet little part of your special day! 🥂🤍
