A red carpet theme cake for a fabulous birthday party at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Elizabeth NJ. This traditional yellow cake is filled with layers of strawberry buttercream and banana cream filling.

Each of the three tiers is cut away towards the bottom, then covered in white fondant. A red fondant carpet rises over the cake, which is also decorated with black and red stripes and shooting stars. A red fondant rope cordon holds back the voracious crowds, anxious to devour the cake!

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!

Cookie Monster Birthday Cake


What a fun cake with three multi-colored building blocks, animal shaped fondant cutouts, the birthday boy's initials, and an edible picture frame with his photo!

Each block has a different combination of cake and filling: coconut cake with dulce de leche buttercream, chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream and red velvet cake with raspberry cream filling.

Shooting stars, colored balls and fondant twists surround the the Cookie Monster who is bursting out of the top building block to surprise the guests at the birthday party in Cedar Knolls NJ.

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.

Stars and Stripes Cake for 13th Birthday


At the weekend we delivered this 3-tier thirteenth birthday cake to Union NJ. Red Velvet cake was filled with cream cheese butter cream, covered in apple green fondant, with pink stripes and multi-colored shooting stars.
We arranged a special cake tasting the previous week for the birthday girl so that she could pick her favorite combination of cake and filling, although the stars and stripe theme was a surprise from her very generous Aunt. I can't recall a cake tasting where the customer had such an expression on their face of delight and discovery, it was a pleasure baking this one!
