The Battlestar!

Believe it or not, this is actually a Wedding cake. It was for a SUPER fun couple, with the groom being a huge BSG fan.

They even let me stick around to watch it's demolition! So much fun!

A Pretty Garden Wedding

This wedding cake was designed to match the flowers of the family's backyard garden. Unfortunately, this past Saturday topped out at over 100 degrees, and the cake needed to be set up in the air conditioned living room.
This will be one of only a few remaining cake posts, as we will be discontinuing our business. Stay tuned for the final 3 weddings remaining on our schedule.

Closing shop

We served the greater Portland area since October 2006. Sadly, due to health reasons, we have decided to discontinue our business. We will miss interacting with the community and participating in the special events of your lives. There are many qualified bakers who have arrived in the Portland area since we opened shop. They should be a great resource to you. One in particular is Artisan Cake Company whose business model most closely mirrors that of Karren's Specialty Cakes. Once again, thank you for all the business and loyalty!

Can you name the movie?

What movie is the cake based on?

The Lough Road

A well know Wilderness Photographer, Rodney Lough Jr., celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday.

In celebration, his daughters ordered him a cake in the shape of his camera. Here is Karren's interpretation of his camera strapped down for display.

Happy birthday Rodney!

If Big Foot could skate .....

He would use these:

To give you a reference, the wheels are over 4 inched in diameter.

These old school roller skate cakes were for a skate instructor's surprise 50th birthday at Oaks Amusement Park.

80's Style Wedding

The wedding cake was commissioned to match the wedding invitation and the colors of the wedding.

The groom's cake was an 80's style boom box.
