Peony Wedding Cake with Mini-Cupcake Display


I had fun with this bright and beautiful wedding cake, decorated with piped flowers and an open Orange Peony sugar flower. The cake sat on top of a display of assorted mini-cupcakes, on a wooden hexagonal shape cake stand expertly designed by the bride's father!




The cake is red velvet with our cream cheese deluxe filling, that has grated white Callebaut chocolate. The cupcake selections also included lemon coconut cake with passion fruit cream filling, chocolate fudge cake with amaretto moccha filling and a drizzle of salted caramel.




Rat's Restaurant at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton NJ has to be one of our favorite venues to deliver a cake. Special thanks to Christopher Carrell for making this happen, and to our special helper who enjoyed the delivery, with an opportunity to tour the picturesque garden setting and fascinating sculptures!

Minnie Mouse Car Birthday Cake


The hardest thing with sculpting figurines is getting the right expression, especially with such well known characters as Disney ones! Minnie Mouse has a particular look, with her eyes close together just set above her nose. But I noticed that the nose is not round, it's oval and protrudes! Took me a few attempts to get it right!

Now inside the pink fondant exterior, carved into the shape of a special car is lemon coconut cake with dulce de leche cream filling. The Minnie Mouse figurine sits smiling at all the kids! Delivered to a first birthday party in North Arlington NJ.

Honda CR-Z Specialty Car Cake



I am so pleased when our customers come back to us again to celebrate a special family occasion. Simon and I were asked to carve a Honda CR-Z specialty car cake for a birthday party in Wayne NJ.

I think we captured the dimensions and key features pretty well, right down to the Honda logo. A pretty car!

Under the white and black fondant exterior is lemon coconut cake with passion fruit cream filling.
