Pumpkin Pie Gourmet Kake Truffles

Autumn is such an awesome time of year. I am from the North... Michigan, Massachusetts and Maine. I LOVE Fall, the crisp air, juicy apples and the incredible explosion of colors that God paints the trees!!!

Autumn also brings us a favored combination of pumpkin and the spices...pumpkin pie!! For as long as I can remember my Grandma Stiles made the best pumpkin pies EVER!!! Her recipe was passed to me as a wedding shower gift! And what a gift! So, why not put a little Fall feel in a gourmet kake truffle and savor the moment!

We are happy to announce the return of the pumpkin spice Kake Truffles. They will be available at Dorn's next week, so be on the look out!

Corks, Cake & Chocolate!

We love it when there is an opportunity to help the community...living in the same town as the Universit of Florida affords great opportunities to promote great programs...SO, when we were contacted to be a part of a fund raiser for the Center of Preforming Arts we were all in!!!

What a uniquely special occasion. A summer wine festival with the coolest theme, Corks, Cakes and Chocolate!! What a winning combination! We took our truffles for sampling and a cake for the auction. We met so many neat people and had such a great time. I can't wait for next summer.

We sincerely want to thank Judy and Michael Blachly for the wonderful opportunity to be a part of such a special afternoon, and help a great cause.

And it is always such a treat to read little treasures like these...


"KB's Kake Kreations was an excellent addition to the Summer Wine Festival: Corks, Cakes and Chocolate. Their friendly staff went above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed. They even donated a cake to be included in our cake auction. Plus, the truffles are to die for!"

Lori Siegel, Assistant Development Director


"We were so pleased that KB Kake Kreations chose to participate in our Corks, Cakes and Chocolate fundraiser because the quality of their products and the friendliness of Kathy and Erika added to the overall success of the event. Their presentation and products were both exceptional."

Michael Blachly, the Director of Performing Arts

An Old School "Big Kid's" Birthday Party for Matt from K-Gallery

When Krystal from K-Gallery first told me about the surprise party she and Melissa, from Masterpiece Weddings, were planning for Matt it was too cute. She told me they were doing a Big Kid's Birthday Party complete with kickball and an Elmo Pinata. So we started brainstorming. Among choices were Cookie Monster, Batman, you name it.

But with the recent New Transformer Movie premiering it was obvious that Matt's Big Kid Birthday cake was going to be The original Autobot. So I set out to find the "original Autobot Logo" My husband, Jason was a huge help in sharing exactly how the colors and shading were supposed to be. So without further ado we give you Matt's Autobot Birthday Cake:


"Thank you guys sooooo much!

It was such a treat, and pretty much everyone raved over the "strawberry shortcake" filling. So I think you have a new great flavor on your hands!

Here are some pics before the transformer carnage that ensued."

:) Matt & Krystal



We were so glad to be a part of your special day!! Hope you had a great birthday and this will be your best year ever Matt!

Tone on Tone

Part of the fun in wedding cake design is the varied taste of the bride and groom. The colors and patterns seem to go in cycles, just like hair and clothing styles. But every now and again you get a fresh twist to old tradition...Caroline and Charles inspired classic magic. And these pictures, shared by Betsy (the Plant Shoppe), and Erin (Celebrations Catering) captured that magic!


Congratulations to Caroline and Charles! Thank you for letting us be your "Sweet Ending to Your Dream Wedding" May you have a lifetime of happiness.

Congrats to all our beautiful couples!! Here's to a beautiful life!!

Why We Have Been Out of Touch

John and Jason last year

So, the plan for July was to catch you all up on Fundrasiers, Special Birthday Cakes and of course Weddings we have done. Like I said that was the plan. And when we have a plan we stick to it, that is unless something happens to turn your whole world upside down.


July was supposed to be a fun filled month with Flip Flop and Transformer Birthday cakes, fundraisers to benefit our local community etc. We still did all those things, but it was not how it was supposed to be.

On July 4 I celebrated my birthday with friends and family and my "Flip Flop Beach Birthday cake. It was great fun with fireworks included. My mom even made the flip flops on the cake identical to my Tommy Hilfigers I wear on my feet everyday. Fun was had by all!


Then on July 6 just two days later I received a phone call that no one ever wants to receive. I remember I was at Wal Mart in the return line when my cell phone rang and It was my father-in-law's wife on the other end. I could barely make out her words, but she told me that my father-in-law John, who had just been to my house for our party two days before had died from a massive heart attack.

Talk about shock! No one knew he had heart problems, he wasn't even sick. How was I going to tell Jason his Dad was gone? How was I going to tell my beautiful babies their Grandpa John was not coming back? Needless to say the rest of the month was a blur and family took priority over blogging.


I want to thank those of you who sent cards, flowers and helped with arrangements. It really meant a lot. I know we work together at events but it is nice to know people care when you really need them! So, thank you to everybody and now it is August, and life is kind of getting back to normal for me. I promise the blogs will start coming and hopefully no more tragedies will be in our near future.

Busy, Busy, Busy

June has been a BUSY month. And we have so much to share...so as soon as we can catch our breath and wash the powdered sugar off our hands we will bring you the pics and details.

DASH FOR THE DRESS

Don't forget that Gainesville's own Solutions Bridal is hosting their 1st annual Dash for the Dress, a charity bridal sample sale.

And they will also have some bridesmaids and mother of the bride dresses on sale. But the event will be cash only and they are encouraging brides to get there early because dressing rooms will be limited. In additon, there will be a large selection of veils, jewelery, and headpieces!

Brides, if you are still looking for that perfect dress, who knew you could have a designer one fit your budget!? Please contact Solutions Bridal in Gainesville at (352) 367-0070.

Powers Wedding Cake

When we were asked by Susan from Power's Photography to do her daughter's wedding cake we were delighted.

In this industry you make business relationships, get to know vendors and more. We feel like we not only have a business relationship with Power's but also a friendship! It was our pleasure to do Kristin and Taylor's Wedding Cake. The colors were striking, photographs are beautiful as always and Betsy from the Plant Shoppe did an outstanding job with the flowers.

Thanks to Susan we now are offering our Brides an additional icing: Cream Cheese Swirl (our alternative to Buttercream) What do you think?

"The cake was out of this world Hugs,Susan"

Baby's 1st Birthday!

The main part of my work is wedding cakes. With only doing one wedding a weekend it really doesn't leave me time for much else. But when special brides call and ask you for shower and birthday cakes there is no way I can deny them. My husband refers to this special group of women as ...my girls. I'll take em!!! It has truly been a joy to be included in their special gatherings.

I met Brandi and Courtney a few years ago. They were dear friends who became sister-in-laws! Wedding cakes, groom cakes, wedding shower cakes, baby shower cakes, and now, the first birthday cake!!!


Isn't that one beautiful, happy family?! I love working with Brandi! She gives me her theme, sends me a pic of the napkins being used and tells me, "work your magic." How fun is that!!!



Erika, Jeff and their precious daughter Alexis came to me with a beautiful and elegant wedding planned. There were some twist and turns in the road, but the ending was storybook!


When Erika contacted me about doing baby Ben's first B-day cake, she asked me if I knew what the Veggie Tales were?! Having a 7 year old granddaughter and a 3 year old grandson, I assured her I knew them all on a first name basis!


Bob, Larry and a French pea, my personal favorite, were chosen as the cakes for Ben's first birthday party!!

I had a blast making these!!!!!! Thank you SOOO much for including me in the fun!



Kristin and Paul are the newbies! They are from Footstone Photography. When Erika needed help with photographing the events of the Gazebo dedication for her dear friends, Heather and Kira, Footstone was right there, ready and willing do to anything that was needed! And what a beautiful job they did!


So when they contacted Erika about a cake for their little Win, I had to say yes! The theme??? "Anything that goes brmmmmm!!" but a blue car would be the top of the list" So a blue car it was. Now, being a discriminating mom, Kristin also ordered our gourmet kake truffles for all the adult guest!


And as the saying goes...a good time was had by all!



KB's wishes you each a bright year filled with love and laughter!!!!! Thanks for allowing me to share in the fun!

Simply Beautiful!

Today was Betty and David's wedding. It was held at

a beautiful farm, the reception was in the barn.

Not any barn mind you!

Melissa, and her staff , of Masterpiece Weddings,

transformed it into one beautiful reception site.

Every detail was perfect, from the gorgeous Spring

flowers to the sparkling crystal. The rain did not

dampen the charm of the farm

or the spirits of the guest.

Plan "B" turned out to be plan "A+"!

The impeccable attention to detail was evident.

The cake was one more reflection of the simple beauty,

the soft sage brush embroidered flowers

and leaves were a perfect compliment to a room

filled with grace and charm.

Another sweet ending to a dream wedding.
