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.

Striped Bass 30th Birthday Cake


There never seems to be an end to the variety of cakes we are asked to create. Last weekend we sculpted a Striped Bass from chocolate fudge cake with Cannoli filling and Belgian chocolate chips. Delivered to a 30th birthday dinner for a fanatical fisherman at the Freemans Restaurant in the Lower East Side of New York City NY. When we walked in all the customers were pointing and trying to decide if this was a dish from the kitchens, or.... could it really be a cake?
