Kindle Birthday Cake

We made this specialty cake for a big reader. Inside is red velvet cake with Madagascar vanilla bean and white vanilla cake with Strawberry cream filling and fresh sliced Strawberries. The cake is covered in white fondant and decorated to create a replica of a Kindle reading device. Each of the buttons is hand painted, while the screen has a personalized edible message. Delivered to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Fairfield NJ.

Strawberry Shortcake and Building Blocks Cake

I modeled the character Strawberry Shortcake out of fondant and she sits on top of a set of building blocks. Each of the blocks is made with pure white vanilla cake with a strawberry cream filling and covered in a light pink fondant. Letters and animal shapes adorn the blocks, which we made for a baby shower.

I think this character turned out better than any I have done so far. I paid special attention to capturing the right facial expression, gave her freckles and added some rouge to give her cheeks the right complexion. The strawberries on the hat are hand painted. You can see this detail in the close up.

The Graffiti Cake is a Lie!

A 1980s theme birthday party called for a personalized Graffiti cake. The red velvet cake has strawberry cream and vanilla buttercream filling. The red fondant is embossed to look like a brick wall, it is then sprayed with many different colors, we left the spray cans as accessories.





The cake is topped with a pair of glasses (you can even see through the isomalt lenses), a boom-box (remember those?) and we later added a golden chain for some extra bling!
