OKC Cake Lady cheering on the Thunder with sweets
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Oklahomans continue to find unique and different ways to support the Thunder during the NBA Finals.
One fan is showing her support in a very sweet way.
Chances are, you have seen Nicole Tissington's work on social media. From a Thunder hat to a Thunder jersey, she is getting creative in her Thunder-themed cakes.
'Sometimes the crazier the cakes, the more they love it,' Tissington said.

Tissington has made a living baking sweet, but exotic cakes.
'I love handing out the cakes and then getting to see people's reactions whenever they pick it up,' Tissington said.
She says she draws inspiration from everywhere.
'I can just be in a grocery store and say, don't judge me on this, but like raw chicken, for instance, I've done a cake that looks like raw chicken legs around Thanksgiving time, making a cake that looks like a giant turkey,' Tissington said.
She also says that what inspires her the most is her Oklahoma City Thunder.
'I've always been a Thunder fan, so of course I just want to make Thunder cakes,' Tissington said. 'This year with them, I don't know, just being where they're at and this whole group of guys, I feel like we all just get so attached to them. I was like, let's make some more Thunder cakes.'
Tissington has been doing exactly that during their playoff run.
'I did get to make SGA's MVP cake, that was a huge honor,' Tissington said. 'I had made a Jersey cake, a standing jersey cake, and that was really fun.'
The MVP jersey was made with Thunder colored cake batter before being decked out to look just like the real thing.
As the Thunder battle for their first-ever NBA title, Tissington draws more inspiration for what could come next.
'I'll make some crazy cakes, come up with random things like I always do,' Tissington said.
Tissington says she is mostly booked up for the next two months, but may make an exception or two for the Thunder.
Those interested in getting a cake can message her on her Facebook page. You can also check out her work on her website.
