Topsy Turvy Mardi Gras Mask Bat Mitzvah Cake

A four tier topsy turvy cake for a Bat Mitzvah at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange NJ.

Inside are tiers of chocolate and yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling. The cake is covered in purple, green and yellow fondant and decorated with stripes, diamonds, circles and pearls. On top is a purple Mardi Gras mask and fondant diamond shapes hanging on wires.

Craftsman Toolbox and Paint Pot Cake

One of my favorite customers wanted a surprise cake for a 50th birthday party held at the Locanda Verde Restaurant on Greenwich Street in Manhattan. She requested a yellow vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling.

The guest of honor is a DIY fanatic, so we created a red Craftsman toolbox cake, with a figurine perched on top. Inside are an assortment of tools: saw, spanner, screwdriver, measuring tape, hammer and even nails, plus a tipped over pot spilling yellow paint.

All the accessories were sculpted from sugar paste, with an edible image for the paint pot label.

Rock Candy Wedding Cake

Now this was a cake that tested my self control, I love rock candy!

The bridal couple wanted something to signify a joint childhood memory of fun vacations at the beach. I used rock candy pieces in red, orange and yellow colors to decorate this four tier white wedding cake. On the top tier is more rock candy in a star burst shape!

Inside the tiers are red velvet cake and white vanilla cake with Madagascar vanilla bean and chocolate mousse fillings. We delivered the cake to a reception at the Above restaurant in the heart of South Orange NJ.

Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 Handbag Cake

We got to visit the very trendy W Hotel in Hoboken NJ to deliver this Louis Vuitton handbag cake, which is a detailed replica of a Speedy 25 model in Monogram Canvas. We cut all the handles and trimmings to look like the real cowhide leather, but of course all edible. The alternating chocolate fudge cake and vanilla cake layers were filled with Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream and chocolate mousse. The birthday party was held in the Chandelier Room.

Orange Musical Note Cake with Tigerlillies

An 80th Birthday calls for a special cake, which we delivered to Little Quiapo Restaurant in Jersey City NJ. Two tiers of chocolate fudge cake and chocolate mousse filling are covered in a light orange fondant. The cake has small sugar pearls around the base of each tier, fondant musical symbols adorn the sides and then an array of hanging clefs and notes with golden beads top the display.

White Wedding Dress Mini-Cake

This mini-cake in the form of a wedding dress is a popular favor for the bridal party. The chocolate cake and chocolate mousse filling is covered in white fondant, decorated with a white bow and sash, as well as silver dragees.

Louis Vuitton Handbag Cake

Phew! We did it! The Louis Vuitton handbag cake turned out very smart. A lot of layers of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate fondant too!

As we assembled the cake and all the pieces came together it really did start to look like the real thing. Now where did I put my car keys? Hopefully whoever eats the cake will find them!
