A four tier quilted diamond ivory wedding cake with black fondant ribbons. Swiss dots are piped at the apex of each quilt and hand painted in edible silver food coloring. The cake has a fondant silver monogram topper.

The bride and groom chose combinations of chocolate genoise with orange chocolate filling, pure white cake with Dulce de Leche cream and red velvet cake with white chocolate ganache.

We delivered the cake to the Grand Summit hotel here in New Jersey.

Mardi Gras Mask Cake


For a 30th birthday I was asked to create a Mardi Gras theme cake. The bottom tier is vanilla cake with dark chocolate ganache and the top tier is chocolate fudge cake with a white chocolate ganache. The tiers are covered in light blue and purple fondant with stripes and pearls around the base. A string of gold colored beads adorns the cake as well as shooting stars, fondant twists and beads on wire. The Mardi Gras mask is made of sugar paste, decorated with leaves and then is hand painted with gold accents. We delivered the cake to the Forum Lounge near Union Square in Manhattan NYC.

Ivory Rose Blossoms Wedding Cake



I was delighted to make this ivory wedding cake for a couple from Chatham NJ who were celebrating at the Crystal Springs Resort.

The three tier Red Velvet cake had a white chocolate ganache filling and was covered in fondant. Each tier was decorated with a white fondant ribbon and then topped with an arrangement of sugar roses and buds.






I wanted to add a few close ups of the roses, they turned out just right! Each rose has a deep ivory center, around which I paste individual sugar petals. The rose is built up over time after each layer of petals has been shaped and dried.









The berries are made of a greenish yellow sugar paste inserted onto a floral wire, several of which are bound together to create a mini-bunch. Once the roses were set on the top tier, I inserted the buds to add a final touch.
