A bouquet of sugar calla lilies tied with pink fondant ribbons finishes off the design, which is also decorated with piped Swiss dots.

Castle Book and Flak Vest Grooms Cake

Castle is one of my favorite TV series, so I got really tied up in this Grooms cake! I carved a book with the cover of a Richard Castle novel (yes they actually published books now based on the series!) as well as a flak vest for our intrepid writer become sleuth.

The Groom was excited to arrive for his rehearsal dinner at Lorenzos Restaurant in Woodland Park NJ and find this cake waiting for him.

Adidas Superstar 86 Uprock Sneaker Grooms Cake

Our bride told us her husband to be was fan of all things sneakers and wanted a Grooms cake to reflect that! Apparently his favorite pair are the Adidas Superstar 86 "Uprock", which has a complex graffiti design. A lot of careful hand painting required to replicate the "Uprock" design, but I'm pleased to say I did it, and of course even the shoelaces are edible!

The black Adidas shoe box is made with chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling, while the sneaker is yellow vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling.

Labrador Groom's Cake

A couple came to visit me together, unusual for a Groom's cake. They wanted me to create a 
Labrador Groom's cake, a replica of their own pet Marley, for their celebration at the Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park NJ.

Inside is chocolate fudge cake with dulce de leche cream, covered in fondant and then painted with edible food spray to get the right color effect. The hardest part as always are the eyes, which I needed to shine and add life to the dog!

Drum Set Groom's Cake

A cake that was a long time in the planning: the Groom was a drummer and wanted to showcase his passion, rather than display a traditional white wedding cake at the reception. So we designed a replica of his drum set complete with cymbals and the Muppet Animal in the background!

We baked chocolate fudge cake with amaretto moccha and salted caramel buttercream, plus lemon cake with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries. The front of the base drum had a Ying and Yang symbol, while on the reverse side we had the words "LOVE" in a font patented by one of his best friends.

All the drums and cymbals were carefully mounted on supports.

The reception was held at Harborside / Exchange Place on the Hudson River waterfront with fabulous views of Manhattan and Downtown New York.

Phineas and Ferb Birthday Cake

My kids love Phineas and Ferb, so I had a long line of expert advisers ready to help me correct a smile or a frown on the figurines I made for this cake: including Perry the Platypus, Isabella, Candace, Jeremy, Baljeet, Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. We built a roller coaster too!

Oh and the important bit! Inside are vanilla and chocolate cake tiers both have Oreo Cream filling.

DeLorean Car Groom's Cake - OutaTime!

Who doesn't love the Back to the Future movie trilogy? Our bride knew her Groom was a fanatic!

Tilting Split Sand and Sea Birthday Cake

Here was a challenge. One of our customers, inspired by Christopher Garren's Opposites cake on Amazing Wedding Cakes, asked us to make a split three tier birthday cake with a sand and sea theme! 

We designed a stable base to allow sufficient support for the tilting design, split down the middle.It is covered in edible sand and seashells! The bottom tier is a sand color fondant with flower cutouts, while the top tiers are a blue sea fondant with waves and fishes.

The tiers have almond cake with dulce de leche cream filling, red velvet cake with raspberry cream filling and chocolate fudge cake with cappuccino cream filling.

Giuseppe Zanotti Blue Platform Sandal Birthday Cake

For a surprise birthday cake we started off discussing with my customer a set of Tiffany boxes and a pump. However through the creative process we realized that a favorite color peach needed to be incorporated into the design, so that explains the boxes! The square box is tied with a white fondant bow and pinned with a silver dragee brooch, with other edible dragees scattered around.

On top I placed a Tiffany blue colored Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandal shaped in fondant. I am particularly proud of the hand painted logo, it came out perfect!

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.
