A frilly and feminine cake in pink and gold on a lightly textured fondant background. The cake is one layer of vanilla cake between two layers of spiced pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling and frosting covered in lightly textured fondant and decorated with frilly gumpaste flowers and ribbon with gold candy pearls for accent.

 

 

Happy Birthday David and Vincent

One layer of red velvet, one layer of vanilla with a nutella filling hiding beneath a whipped white chocolate frosting.  The bow is cheesecloth tricked out to look like burlap for a bit of rustic chic to offset the rosette design.  Happy birthday guys.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Stewart

It was a wonderful day for an outdoor wedding reception.  Hot (but not too hot) and sunny with enough of a breeze to keep the mosquitoes away.  A crowd of happy folk and large amounts of food.  Three flavors of cake.  Who could ask for more.  Truly, a grand time was had by all. 

First, my favorite picture of the happy couple taken at Christmas 2012:

Then the wedding cake, the top tier was a white vanilla cake with nutella buttercream filling, the second tier was a carrot cake with cream cheese filling.  The whole was covered in a white chocolate buttercream and decorated with gumpaste flowers and lettering.

Then there was the groom's cake which was the groom's absolute favorite black forest cake, and which we managed to make a complete surprise (which is not that difficult when only two people know about it).  Darkest chocolate cake, fresh whipped cream, cherries and just a bit boozy, what's not to love about it?

Did I mention that a good time was had by all?

Welcome to the world

A baby shower cake.  Vanilla cake, vanilla meringue buttercream and marshmallow fondant all dressed up in pink to celebrate a whole new person's arrival to the world.

Happy Birthday Saydee

I was asked to make a gorilla themed cake for a little girl who loves the movie "Mighty Joe Young:".  I think my rendition was spot on by the look on the birthday girl's face.  The gorilla is made of rice cereal and covered in modeling chocolate.  The "hair" is modeling chocolate mixed with a bit of fondant to make it more flexible.  The tree trunk is a mixture of modeling chocolate and peanut butter flavored candy clay.  The cake itself was a traditional vanilla layered with a bit of raspberry jam and covered in American buttercream.
