Our birthday boy Nicholai was born with some serious birth defects and spent a lot of time in the hospital. Now he's 3 and thriving and when asked what he wanted for his birthday, he told his mom that he wanted a birthday cake. She came through and ordered a Super Grover cake for her Super Nicholai. Thanks Rudi for giving me complete creative freedom! #sugarmillcakes #cake #cakes #customcake #specialtycake #gravitydefyingcake #carvedcake #sculptedcake #grover #supergrover #supergrover2.0 #sesamestreet #birthday #birthdaycake #happybirthday #birthdayparty #oakland #eastbay #bayarea

After 2 weeks off it feels great to be back in the kitchen! Anyone care to guess what this will be when finished? #sugarmillcakes #oakland #eastbay #bayarea #specialtycake #customcake #sculptedcake #carvedcake #gravitydefyingcake

I made this Rainbow Dash topper with help from @francescasugarart 's YouTube tutorial. So helpful! I was impressed with how well it came out with very little knowledge (on my part) about Rainbow Dash. #sugarmillcakes #caketopper #rainbowdash #rainbowdashcake #rainbow #francescasugarart #oakland #eastbay #bayarea #birthday #birthdaycake

Look at those adorable toppers my bride, Sarah, got for the top of her wedding cake! Their wedding was held at the Kaiser Rooftop Gardens in downtown Oakland, a beautiful park-like setting in the middle of the city. The rustic decor of the cake fit in well with the natural setting and design of the wedding - including their trail mix bar! #sugarmillcakes #cake #wedding #weddingday #weddingcake #oaklandwedding #oaklandweddingcake #rustic #deer #kaiserrooftopgardens #downtownoakland #thetown #buttercream #oakland #eastbay #eastbaywedding #bayarea #bayareawedding

This Where the Wild Things Are cake was designed after an image I saw from Pinterest. This is one of my favorite color combinations. There are definitely a few things I'd do differently next time, but a good learning experience for the first time with this sort of design. #sugarmillcakes #cake #cakes #customcake #specialtycake #wherethewildthingsare #max #fondant #fondantcake #jungle #babyshower #babyshowercake #oaklandbabyshower #oakland #eastbay #bayarea

Diana and Elliott's wedding cake had classic textured buttercream with gorgeous fresh blooms from @churchstreetflowers . They had a beautiful wedding lunch @RN74 in downtown San Francisco. Congratulations @dianadisney and Elliott!

Diana and Elliot had their rehearsal dinner last night and ordered this fun groom's cake. Elliot is an avid cyclist so a bicycle built for two is the perfect way to meld cycling with romance! #sugarmillcakes #cake #cakes #customcake #fondant #fondantcake #bicycle #bicyclebuiltfortwo #tandembicycle #tandembike #groomscake #sanfranciscowedding #sanfrancisco #oakland #eastbay #bayarea

I love the romantic look of this cake! The bride wanted romantic white layers with bright pops of pink florals, and we decided the gold accents would fit in nicely. Cake was delivered to Monterey completely stacked. Got there in perfect shape and was really lovely to look at once all set up. #sugarmillcakes #cake #cakes #customcake #weddingcake #wedding #weddingday #monterey #montereywedding #customhouseplaza #fondant #fondantcake #peony #peonies #gold #pink #goldweddingcake #seaside #oakland #eastbay #babyshower

Sugar sea glass cake with fondant mussels. Kind of strange to have shellfish as a topper but I loved the look. #sugarmillcakes #cake #cakes #customcake #specialtycake #fondant #fondantcake #wedding #weddingcake #seaglass #sugarseaglass #ombre #glass #mussels #shellfish #seaside #beach #beachwedding #oaklandwedding #oakland #eastbay #bayarea #bayareawedding

I want to send a major shout out to my super talented brother @lucas.ahlstrand. He makes custom furniture and created this redwood table with inlaid succulent tray for our front deck. He does amazing work! #lucasahlstrand #customfurniture #modernfurniture #woodandmetal #reclaimedwood #modern #succulents #redwood #redwoodtable #woodtable #walnutcreek #ilovemyyard #oakland #eastbay #bayarea #bayareacustomfurniture
