One tier has red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, and the others are vanilla cake with dulce de leche butter cream. Silver fondant pearls surround the base of each tier, silver dragees adorn the cake board, and we placed a big number sixteen on the middle tier covered in sugar diamonds and sapphires. The cake was delivered to a garden birthday party.

Hydrangea Wedding Cake with Violet Drapes


Our bride requested a violet colored four tier wedding cake wrapped around with darker purple drapes, periwinkle color fondant ribbons with small 1mm beads and bouquets of blue sugar hydrangeas.

The cake flavor combinations are yellow vanilla with chocolate cream filling and red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. I delivered this to a wedding reception at Giorgio's Restaurant in South Orange NJ.

Blue Hydrangea Wedding Cake


A customer celebrating their 40th birthday never had a formal wedding cake, so that is what we made for their big celebration in South Orange NJ. This traditional square four tier design has two tiers of pure white vanilla cake with dulce de leche cream filling, and the other tiers of red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. White fondant covers the cake, and it has fondant drapes shimmering with silver, fondant pearls encircling each tier, a piped monogram with ribbon wrap-around and bunches of cascading blue hydrangea sugar flowers.

Ivory Wedding Cake with Roses and Hydrangeas


A four tiered hexagonal shape wedding cake adorned with a selection of ivory, pink and burgundy colored sugar roses and small hydrangea blossoms. The red velvet cake tiers have layers of Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream filling. An Ivory fondant covers the cake, which is then decorated with fondant drapes and a piped scroll design to match the wedding invitations. We delivered this cake to the Meadow Wood Manor in Randolph NJ.

We also made a Yankee Stadium Groom's cake for the same wedding reception!

Purple Sweet Sixteen Crown Cake


A round four tier sweet sixteen cake for a party at Hanover Manor in East Hanover NJ. The tiers of pure white vanilla cake have a thin layer of raspberry jam and chocolate ganache flavored with Framboise liquor.

Purple fondant with silver accents covers the cake, with more fondant drapes, purple bows and piping. Purple jewels decorate the diamond shape silver fondant cutouts around several tiers, and more piped crowns and scrolls encircle the tier with the large monogram.

The cake is topped with a silver fondant crown, encrusted with more edible jewels. I am pleased we made one special birthday girl very happy!

Pink Lotus Flowers Birthday Cake


One of the best things about what I do is to be able to create a cake for some special occasion. We delivered this two tier cake for a 70th birthday party in Mountain Lakes NJ. Vanilla genoise is moistened with lemon syrup, layers of raspberry preserves and Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream. The cake is decorated with pink fondant ropes, white drapes and piped scrolls. An arrangement of pink lotus flowers and apricot apple blossoms tops off the cake.

White Roses with Ivory Drapes Wedding Cake


The Terrace in the Sky restaurant in Manhattan was the venue for an elegant New York wedding celebration.

The bride asked me recreate a hexagonal ivory colored cake that she loved, which had white sugar roses and hydrangeas. The four tiers of red velvet cake have a raspberry buttercream filling and a thin layer of raspberry preserves. Each tier is covered in an ivory fondant, a series of scrolls are piped in icing and then adorned with fondant drapes. I added some leaves to give the colors a contrast, and the base of the cake is surrounded by ivory fondant pearls.

This was truly was a white wedding, the cake was delivered through a blizzard!
