🎮🍄 It wasn't a Super Mario party... it was a SUPER TOMO PARTY! 🍄🎮

Turning 6 has never looked so much fun!

Tomo celebrated his big day with friends at Paradise Acres, where the adventures included laser tag, mini golf, giant slides, and even gold mining. Talk about a real-life Mario adventure!

And the biggest question of the day...

❓ YES... THE CUBE IS CAKE! ❓

This showstopping design featured a giant mystery block cake suspended above Mario, Luigi, and friends, with handmade coins, stars, mushrooms, and details bringing the entire scene to life. Every piece was created to capture the fun and excitement of everyone's favorite video game world.

⭐ Power Up!
⭐ Let's-a Go!
⭐ Here We Go!
⭐ Level 6 Unlocked!
⭐ It's-a Me, Birthday Boy!

Creating cakes that turn a child's favorite things into edible memories is one of my favorite parts of what I do. From the first sketch to the final candle, every detail is designed to make their celebration extra special.

Happy 6th Birthday, Tomo! May your year be filled with power-ups, adventures, and plenty of extra lives! 🎂🎉🍄⭐

I was honored to create the dessert displays for the very first Hallelujah Event, featuring cheesecakes, custom sugar cookies, petit fours, mini cheesecakes, french macarons and madeleines.

As an animal lover, this cause is especially close to my heart. What Brooke and Niles Geary have created through the Hallelujah Fund is truly incredible—helping families get the veterinary care their beloved pets need during difficult times.

The event raised an amazing $52,017.64, with every dollar going directly to animals in need. What a beautiful example of our community coming together with compassion, generosity, and love.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this mission. I am grateful to have played a small part in such a meaningful day and can't wait to see this event continue to grow in the years ahead! ❤️🐾

Roblox fans, this one was built for fun!

This custom Roblox cake was completely edible from top to bottom! From the personalized topper and number accents to the sugar decorations and edible LEGO-inspired pieces, every detail was handcrafted to make this birthday celebration extra special.

This fun cake was delivered to Wallabies in Johnson City, where the birthday crew got to jump, play, and celebrate in style. What better way to top off an action-packed day than with a cake designed just for the guest of honor?

One of my favorite parts of being a cake artist is taking the things your child loves and transforming them into a showstopping centerpiece that creates lasting memories.

Whether they love gaming, sports, animals, superheroes, princesses, or something completely unique, I would love to help bring their imagination to life.

Because every birthday deserves a little extra WOW! 🎂✨

🎓💕 Built-In Best Friends & Big Milestones

When Romy Kate's mom reached out about creating a special graduation cake for two best friends to celebrate together, I was immediately excited!

Growing up, I had cousins close to my age, and one of them went through school with me from the very beginning. Having that built-in best friend to share classes, memories, inside jokes, victories, and milestones with is such a special gift. Hearing about these two young ladies celebrate this chapter together reminded me so much of that.

This cake was designed to honor not only their graduation, but also the friendship that helped carry them through the journey. Friendships like these become part of their story.

And can we talk about the style? Their mom, Lindsey Lawson of ✨Brilliantly Bespoke✨, definitely has an eye for fashion! Lindsey helps clients discover their best colors and styles through color analysis, makeup consultations, and even personal shopping experiences. So it was only fitting that this cake featured fashionable graduation caps, elegant bows, and a beautiful love shack-inspired design.

Graduation is about more than a diploma. It's about the people who walked beside you, cheered you on, and celebrated every success along the way. Whether it's family, friends, teachers, or those "built-in best friends," life's milestones become even sweeter when shared with the people we love.

Congratulations to these two! Here's to lifelong friendship, exciting adventures ahead, and all the celebrations still to come. 🎓💕✨

🐾❤️ I’m honored to support The Hallelujah Event on June 6th, benefiting the Hallelujah Fund at All Tails Vet Clinic.

I am thrilled to provide all of the desserts for this special event, and I hope you'll consider joining us for an afternoon filled with great food, live music, exciting live and silent auctions, and so many wonderful items up for bid—all while supporting an incredible cause.

The Hallelujah Fund was born from a simple but powerful realization: no family should have to choose between financial hardship and the care their beloved pet needs. Created by Niles and Brooke Geary, the fund provides one-time financial assistance to families facing unexpected veterinary expenses at All Tails Vet Clinic.

Whether it's a life-saving surgery, urgent treatment, or essential medication, the Hallelujah Fund helps ensure that difficult circumstances don't stand in the way of compassionate care.

At the heart of this mission is Dr. Jones, whose dedication to animals extends far beyond the clinic walls. Alongside her husband, she founded Tilted Tavern Sanctuary, a 50-acre refuge that provides a safe and loving home for senior and special-needs animals, allowing them to live out their years with dignity and comfort.

Now, this mission is growing into a community-wide effort—and you can be part of it.

📅 June 6th at 1-4pm

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of compassion, community, and giving back. From unique travel experiences and local treasures to delicious food and entertainment, every bid, donation, and ticket purchased helps provide critical veterinary care to pets and peace of mind to the families who love them.

Whether you attend, donate, or simply share this post, you're helping make a difference.

🎟️ Tickets: https://tiltedtavernanimalsanctuary.betterworld.org/events/thehallelujahevent

Every ticket helps change a life—both human and animal. ❤️🐾

The Hallelujah Fund is a registered 501(c)(3), and all donations are tax-deductible. Event location details will be provided upon ticket purchase.

Thank you for helping our community choose compassion.

The Hallelujah Fund was created from a simple but powerful moment—watching families sit in a veterinary office, faced with heartbreaking decisions about the care they could afford for the pets they love.
