Tilting Split Sand and Sea Birthday Cake


Here was a challenge. One of our customers, inspired by Christopher Garren's Opposites cake on Amazing Wedding Cakes, asked us to make a split three tier birthday cake with a sand and sea theme! 

We designed a stable base to allow sufficient support for the tilting design, split down the middle.It is covered in edible sand and seashells! The bottom tier is a sand color fondant with flower cutouts, while the top tiers are a blue sea fondant with waves and fishes.

The tiers have almond cake with dulce de leche cream filling, red velvet cake with raspberry cream filling and chocolate fudge cake with cappuccino cream filling.

Created for the birthday of two twins, so we incorporated a series of favorite items for each one: Spiderman, fairy, high heel sandal, Converse shoe, Spongebob CD, a bikini. Delivered to a party in Clifton NJ.

Giuseppe Zanotti Blue Platform Sandal Birthday Cake

For a surprise birthday cake we started off discussing with my customer a set of Tiffany boxes and a pump. However through the creative process we realized that a favorite color peach needed to be incorporated into the design, so that explains the boxes! The square box is tied with a white fondant bow and pinned with a silver dragee brooch, with other edible dragees scattered around.

On top I placed a Tiffany blue colored Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandal shaped in fondant. I am particularly proud of the hand painted logo, it came out perfect!

Inside is a moist coconut cake (we discovered a great supplier) with the always popular dulce de leche cream filling.

Peony Wedding Cake with Mini-Cupcake Display


I had fun with this bright and beautiful wedding cake, decorated with piped flowers and an open Orange Peony sugar flower. The cake sat on top of a display of assorted mini-cupcakes, on a wooden hexagonal shape cake stand expertly designed by the bride's father!




The cake is red velvet with our cream cheese deluxe filling, that has grated white Callebaut chocolate. The cupcake selections also included lemon coconut cake with passion fruit cream filling, chocolate fudge cake with amaretto moccha filling and a drizzle of salted caramel.




Rat's Restaurant at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton NJ has to be one of our favorite venues to deliver a cake. Special thanks to Christopher Carrell for making this happen, and to our special helper who enjoyed the delivery, with an opportunity to tour the picturesque garden setting and fascinating sculptures!
