1st Birthday!

The rain doesn't seem to stop here in NYC, or the humidity, but the cakes are still going! Recent 1st Birthday Cake below, with cupcakes to match! The cake was designed after the birthday girl's dress.... yellow with black & white flowers. Adorable! Happy 1st Birthday, Maribella!






Play ball...

Hi folks, sorry it has been a while since my last post, but here is my latest cake! My latest client has asked for a birthday baseball cake.... vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream frosting. Not to mention, the famous quote "Thats what she said" written around the ring of it. Happy Summer everyone!













Happy Mother's Day!

Today I came home and surprised my mom for Mother's Day- and the rest of my family with the cake below. While I showed up one day early, the cake has already been sliced into and won't last too long. Underneath the green fondant is lemon pound cake with a lemon buttercream frosting. YUM! Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there!






Daisies...


Changed my mind.... mother's day cake will be filled with Daisies of all shapes & sizes! Blue cake or pink? Still can't decide....final cake posted this weekend!


Flower power

Tonight I began making some sugar roses, and some tulips here & there. After a frustrating afternoon of leaving a $20 bucket of fondant at the cake supply store, I sat down to focus on the flowers for my mom's Mother's Day cake. So far.... so good! Have a look... more to come by the end of the week. Happy Monday!













testing, testing

I figure the best way to begin this blog is by posting pics of some of my best cakes (and cupcakes, and the one's I actually still have pictures of). Each equally delicious, and fun to create.

I never thought I had a creative bone in my body, especially since my entire life I have been labeled as “book smart.” Straight A’s are textbook, but creativity is endless. I turned on the Food Network and saw a Cake Challenge, and was immediately hooked at how these artists could make sugar flowers look so incredibly authentic, and yet they were edible! Since this is a recession, and jobs are hard to come by, I figure pretty much the entire nation is soul-searching, as am I. Putting my passion to the test, here are some samples of what I have created and completed since getting started. More pics to post in the upcoming weeks... Stay tuned.

Love is in the air, and on the cake.
