Oreo 100th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes




Cake Fiction was honored last week to be asked to create a cake display to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Oreo. The display matches the special birthday logo developed by the Kraft creative team.

Two giant Oreos with chocolate fudge cake and Oreo cream filling are carefully decorated to look like the real cookie! Four cakes in the shape of balloons sit behind the cookies and they have the same flavor and filling combination.

We also made 350 chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and each topped with a real Oreo!

Delivered to the Kraft Corporate Headquarters at East Hanover NJ.

Dr Seuss The Lorax Birthday Cake


The Lorax movie starts today. So we had fun creating a red velvet birthday cake with cream cheese filling, and a matching Cat in The Hat vanilla cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling to sit on a display of Truffula trees!

A nice way to remind ourselves about the origin of this Dr Seuss fable and to express concern for our environment. Save our Truffula trees?

I am also attaching an image of the cakes as part of the display at the birthday party in Summit NJ.

Glass of Guinness Birthday Cake


We were out tonight celebrating Valentines Day, and on the next table sat a glass of Guinness. It looked just like this chocolate fudge cake with dark Belgian chocolate cream filling that we delivered to a birthday party at the Liberty Tower in Jersey City NJ over the weekend. I think we got it just right!

Blue and Chocolate Brown Damask Wedding Cake


Last week I was working on a five tier light blue fondant wedding cake with chocolate brown damask patterns to display at our Cake Fiction cakery in Union NJ.
Each tier has a different damask or scroll design, I love the elaborate finish that can be achieved, even if it is a nerve racking process to get everything aligned!
On top is a fondant monogram, with small sugar flowers.

Just delivered a two tier blue and green fondant pillow Baby Shower cake for a party at Bonte in South Orange NJ.

We decorated the cake with baby toys, a bottle, rattle and building blocks. A baby is sleeping tranquil under a fondant blanket on top.
