Ford Box Truck Specialty Cake

Times are tough, but lots of people are giving it a go and setting up their own business. So we were pleased to help celebrate a new business success. A proud family asked us to surprise their man with a Ford Box truck specialty cake modeled on his own plumber van. The fondant covered cake is Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache. We delivered it to a party in Verona NJ.

1971 Model Chevy Chevelle Car Cake

We had fun building this groom's cake modeled on a dark green 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS muscle car! I tried to pay special attention to all the chrome detail.

Lamborghini Murcielago Groom's Cake

The bride wanted to buy a bright yellow Lamborghini Murcielago supercar to surprise the Groom at their wedding reception at The Rockleigh in Bergen County, NJ. We created this scale replica made of Chocolate Fudge cake and Dark Chocolate Ganache.

I also added the open wing doors she requested, with figurines depicting the bride and groom inside this fabulous car.

Quilted White Wedding Cake with Blue Ribbons

We delivered this elegant offset three tier square wedding cake to The Avenue in Long Branch NJ, a fabulous beach setting. The bottom tier is coconut cake with dark chocolate ganache and Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream, while the top tiers were vanilla and chocolate fudge cake layers with raspberry mousse.

The off white fondant is quilted with a diamond pattern and every apex has a sugar pearl. A blue fondant ribbon surrounds each tier and then a topper selected by the bride finishes off her ideal wedding cake.

True Religion Blue Jeans Cake

A fan of True Religion jeans wanted a pair for a birthday gift. I made a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache, a perfect chocoholic combination. Blue fondant covers the cake and I applied distressing and a stone wash effect to the jeans cake, which was destined for a party in South Orange NJ.

Poppies and Lilies Wedding Anniversary Cake

We were commissioned to create a three tier chocolate cake for a 30th wedding anniversary party in Llewellyn Park, West Orange NJ. Almond Walnut cake and Dulce de Leche buttercream, and Chocolate Fudge with Callebaut Chocolate Ganache were the favorites they picked.

A red fondant ribbon surrounds each tier, and the chocolate fondant covered cake is topped with a bouquet of hand-made sugar flowers in different shades (dark red, light red, dark orange were the color palette), they included poppies, lilies, roses, buds, blossoms and leaves.

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.

Cake Fiction at Bloomingdales Charity Fundraiser

Yesterday (Thursday 8/27/09) we were pleased to participate in a Fashionable Fundraiser at Bloomingdales in the Bridgewater Mall NJ.

The theme was black and white - we prepared two cakes for display (a 5-tier white wedding cake with embossed lace and French Anemones, as well as a black Marc Jacobs handbag cake). For the tasting I baked several trays of chocolate fudge cake pieces with a selection of Chocolate Ganache, Cream Cheese buttercream and French Vanilla buttercream. I'll post the picture later.
