Little Train Baby Shower Cake


We designed this yellow three tier round cake for a Baby Shower at the Publick House Tavern in Chester NJ. The bottom tier is chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling, sliced fresh strawberries and cream, while the upper tiers are red velvet cake with cream cheese and white chocolate filling. Fondant stripes, polka dots and bows decorate the cake, which is topped by a train and wagons carrying small gift boxes.

Blue, Silver and White Theme Wedding Cake


A three tier square wedding cake designed to match the bride's blue white and silver theme. She wanted a simple and elegant look.

The cake is covered in white fondant with blue fondant ribbons and piped swiss dots, and finally a monogram topper chosen by the bride.

Each tier is pure white vanilla cake with either white chocolate buttercream or chocolate raspberry filling.

We delivered the cake to a reception at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange NJ.

Thomas the Tank Engine Birthday Cake


Here is a Thomas the Tank Engine 3-D cake ordered for a birthday party in Summit NJ. The lemon cake has white chocolate cream filling and with more grated white Callebaut chocolate between each layer. The outside of the cake is modeled out of fondant to match Thomas' color scheme. Thomas is riding along the rails through a green field!

Sculpting Thomas' cheerful face is always a challenge, if only to get the right expression. The cake is carved and then a thin layer of buttercream allows me to attach the fondant, without losing the lines of his nose, eyes and mouth.

Elephant Party Birthday Cake with Balloons


We delivered a herd of elephants partying around a birthday cake to South Orange NJ. This three tiered cake has red velvert with white chocolate buttercream, vanilla cake with chocolate raspberry filling and a top tier with banana cake and dulce de leche cream filling. The cake is covered in light blue fondant and decorated with blue stripes, assorted balloons and then each elephant holds a red balloon on a string.

The close up shows the elephants having tons of fun around a table, and the balloons reflected on the ceiling!

Paradise Beach Cake


For a bridal shower in Queens NY we created a paradise cake. The couple are planning to spend their honeymoon in tropical Belize!

A large red velvet cake with white chocolate buttercream is covered in sea blue and sand colored fondant. I crafted several padded lounge chairs, a beach hut and a table with two Piña Colada cocktails, not forgetting a straw and a slice of fruit!

A small palm tree gives some shade from the sun shining down on the chairs. To achieve the effect of a tropical beach, I used a mixture of crushed shortcake cookies and granulated sugar. It was beautiful and looked real, when the sunlight shone on the grains of sand. There are also edible sea sugar shells decorating the sand on the sides of the cake.
