Blue and White Orchids Sweet Sixteen Cake



We delivered a hundred assorted cupcakes and a matching cake to Ariana's Grand in Woodbridge NJ for a sweet sixteen party.

On top of the acrylic stand is a two tier sweet sixteen red velvet cake that has cream cheese filling. It is covered in blue and white fondant to match the orchids on top, each of which has a blue edible jewel in the center. Silver dragees, sugar pearls and blue gems form the number 16, and silver fondant pearls surround each tier.

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate fudge and carrot cake were chosen by the birthday girl for the assortment, and topped with a swirl of cream cheese, oreo cream, chocolate and cream cheese fillings. Each cupcake had a small white sugar flower with a blue edible gem in the center.

Sixteen candles set in a white fondant holder encircle the display.

Buzz Lightyear Birthday Cake



"To infinity ... and beyond!"

For a 5th birthday party at Unbelieva-Bills in Montclair NJ I was asked to create this Buzz Lightyear cake. Both tiers are yellow cake with chocolate buttercream, covered in white and blue fondant.

The cake is decorated with stars, planets, a rocket ship and some characters from Disney's Toy Story (including Mr. Potato Head, an alien, pig and Woody's Cowboy hat). Buzz Lightyear stands on top of the cake ready to soar to the stars!

Sleepy skies stars and moon cake


For a sleep over movie night party in South Orange NJ I designed this round three tier cake with the birthday girl sitting on a moon. One tier was vanilla cake, the others had mixed layers of red velvet and chocolate fudge cake, and all with raspberry chocolate filling.

The varying shades of blue fondant take the cake from day to night, and starting with piped clouds rising to the fondant stars and shooting stars. Since she loves color, the birthday star also requested a rainbow backdrop!
