When we first met with Porsche for her fiancee’s surprise grooms cake, we discussed several design ideas for his cake, but when it came down to it, she couldn’t settle on one theme so we created a whole cake decorated with all things Stephen! Porsche had a whole LONG list of items to describe what Stephen likes. We picked out a few of these ideas: his Jordan kicks, weight lifting, music, break dancing, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, steaks! (what guy doesn’t?) even the Hormel Chili he grew up eating!

Some of the main items Porsche wanted to focus on was a picture of their family with their daughter, and special detail to Stephen’s involvement with the Army. For this we included all hand-painted sugar badges of the black and yellow Army star, his silver dog tags and a replica of his unit’s badge (see the photo below which served as inspiration).

For his flavors, Porsche chose Orange Dreamcicle cake with Vanilla Cream filling and Pretty Pink Strawberry with Guava Cream filling.
We hope Stephen was surprised and stoked to see his special cake that was all about him!
