Serving as one of the larger milestones for us, we were asked to develop this almond birthday cake for Colleen Odegaard, the host of Charlotte Today which can be seen at 11:00AM weekday mornings on NBC.  We are honored to be one of three bakeries that were selected to come onto the program in celebration of Colleen’s birthday.  After  a little insight from the show’s  producer on what Colleen like to do in life,  I did a little deeper investigation of Colleen’s interests, passions and hobbies and this is where the design was inspired.

The story behind the cake has to do with Colleen’s favorite place to shop, her passion for running and finalized with a little known fact that she’s been known to partake in the skills of battling her sons with  Star Wars light sabers. The cake was supposed to be large enough to serve 25 people as well as be totally unique.  I think we achieved that with our design.  The cake at the base represents a box from Colleen’s favorite store, the Jewel Box, located in South Charlotte.  The second layer is modeled to reflect  Colleen’s passion for bicycling & our continued support for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  The third element is a Star Wars light saber penetrating all of the way through the center of both cakes.  That’s not all. There is a live smoke effect at the top of the cake and disperses in a way that makes the light saber appear to be cutting through the center of the cake because every son dreams of trying that in one way or another.

This Super Mario inspired cake can feed up to 30 guests, everything is edible except the center Mario figure. The cake is 5 layers of marble cake mix, with butter cream icing between each layer and finished with a sheet of fondant.that is covered with a sheet of fondant.  The clouds are piped icing.  This is Lia K’s  5th Cake from Kenfections bakery and we are proud to have her as one of our original clients from the very start. If you’d like to learn more about our cakes and have one designed Just for YOU, drop us an email or text us at 9806210683.

A repeat client of ours, Deborah called with a specific request for a My Little Pony themed creation for her daughter.  This marble cake features our signature icing and sealed with fondant. We blended the fondant to make the leopard print on the top tier and the bottom tier we embedded her daughter’s name right into the fondant.  This is an example of our smallest cake which serves up to 18 guests. Again, Thanks Deborah for entrusting us yet again to make your daughters birthday a fun event.

Always a kids favorite, this Fire Truck SUV cake was inspired by a member of the Concord, NC Fire Department who discovered Kenfections for the first time.  Sonya needed a particular almond cake that had buttercream icing for a bridal shower.  After testing a couple of different varieties of cake along with our secret recipe icing, Sonya and her team selected the combination that was sure to be a hit.  The flavor was just that, A HIT.   This fire truck SUV came in at just over 25 pounds and had four separate layers all internally supported without the use of krispy treats as many others are doing today to save time and money.  As always, we never sacrifice quality and the results show.  Feel free to view the feedback of this unique and flavorful cake from none other than Sonya and her team themselves, here.

This 40th Birthday Jewel Cake was for a client all the way from Atlanta, GA.  She chose our bakery after experiencing the skater cake we did in April. The cake is two tiers of chocolate and covered in a generous layer of our signature icing, everything then sealed in marshmallow flavored fondant.  The bow is made from gumpaste and a lot of patience. The numbers are gumpaste as well and finished off with a set of non-edible rhinestones as well as the silver dots.
