Blackjack Cake and Cupcakes with Poker Chips

This Blackjack theme cake is red velvet with a Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream filling and is decorated with playing cards and piles of poker chips. Fondant card suit cut outs and colored beads surround the cake.

An assortment of red velvet and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream are all topped with several black and white poker chips. We delivered the cake to the 3 Forty Grill in Hoboken NJ.

Atlantic City Cards and Dice Cake

One of the lessons I must remember is never to throw my digital camera on the floor!

Fortunately my backup is the sketch I drew for my customer of a custom cake for her parents' 60th Wedding Anniversary party in Springfield NJ, that would play on the theme of their frequent trips Atlantic City.

This two tier vanilla cake had a chocolate ganache filling and the fondant colors reflected the black, white and red from a set of playing cards. Decorations included silver chocolate coins, gambling chips, colored roulette balls and cut our shapes from the card suits. We finally added several personal touches requested by the daughter, such as sugar paste figurines of the three grandchildren and even a set of eyeglasses!
