The Design Star cake created exclusively for a partnership with our Queen of Style and HGTV Design Star winner Kim Myles, this cake represents the work Kim will be doing with Lowe’s Home Improvement over the next few months.  Kim’s motto: “No Budget? No Problem. It’s in the bag!!” will demonstrate how easy it is to makeover a room in a big way with as few funds as possible along with Lowe’s offering the necessary products.

The cake is  half chocolate & half golden yellow with our signature butter cream recipe covered in fondant. The design was inspired to capture Kim’s HGTV website‘s color pallet hiding under the Lowe’s pagoda as it is peeled back. I had a lot of fun building this cake and must thank Sandy Culver of Lowe’s Creative Ideas for the recommendations she made.  Without her, the cake would probably been a huge multi-colored race car of some type.

We had a GREAT time with Kim and what an absolutely  fun person she is.  Kim’s very down to earth and what you see on her show is exactly who she is in real life. I gained some fantastic insight to how she got the opportunity to be selected and ultimately win “Design Star” season 2 on HGTV.  Quite simply, she’s a great inspiration for anyone that loves what they do.  Certainly hope we can make a cake for her again the future.  Look for Kim featured on Lowes.com where she will be featuring some really unique & easy to do ideas for decorating your home for the holidays, on a budget.

The Sprint Cup Trophy cake serves as one of our prized creations that our bakery has had the privilege of  building. These two cake were for Jimmie Johnson & Hendrick Motorsports, Team 48′s CHASE for the Sprint Cup kickoff this week at Hendrick Motorsports. Yes, the trophy cake is edible, flags included.   Chad Knaus , the Team 48 Crew Chief is pictured below and he had a lot of questions as to how it was built.

The replica of the Lowe’s Chevrolet in cake was featured at Lowe’s World Headquarters in Charlotte. That cake is 3 FEET LONG and weighed in at 67 POUNDS! The cake was still being finished in the photo below. Thanks goes to Gray and Brian on Team 48 for giving us this great opportunity.
