Winter Wedding Cake and Dessert Table
I enjoyed making this simple, but beautiful cake for a very special couple that I have know for a while now. I couldn't be happier with the marriage of Steph and Danny. Steph knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it and I was happy to create what she had envisioned. She, and artist, made a simple sketch on a piece of paper and said to me, "this is what I want". The colors of her wedding were a light teal (not blue, not green) and soft grey, lovely! I made the cake using those two colors. The grey I incorporated on the fantasy flower that I made out of gumpaste. The top tier was a moist yellow cake with my vanilla bean buttercream, 8x4, The middle tier was 10x6 (she wanted that tier taller than the other two) was my rum/vanilla cake, and the bottom tier was a double chocolate fudge cake with the vanilla bean buttercream, 12x4.
I also made a very simple dessert table that had, chocolate chip merengues, marshmallows covered in white chocolate tinted in matching colors, sugar cookies in the shape of snowflakes, covered in MMF, Red Velvet cake pops.

Retro Cake
I made this cake for my sister's 50th birthday! I took some of my pans and utensils to Rhode Island from Miami so that I could make it over there. I had such a great time as I was creating this cake for my sister. She was with me in the kitchen as I worked and we laughed and reminisced about so many wonderful things and giggled like crazy. I believe it was another memory created for the two of us. Anyway, back to the cake, it was for 100 people. All edible. I used edible silver for the disco ball and gumpaste for the silhouettes and the 50. My sister absolutely loved it! Thanks for looking!

This cake was made for a lady that was turning 50. This cake was so fun to make! I followed the sketch and tried staying true to colors and everthing as the sketch. Everything is edible.

Mickey Mouse Playhouse
The client was torn between two cakes she saw, one that I had made, and the other one she had found online. She didn't know what to do so I suggested that we took a little bit of both and come up with a design that had the two things she liked most of both cakes. She told me she liked the idea and that she trusted that whatever I came up with would be great. When she came to pick up the cake she absolutely loved it. I wish I could have taken a picture of her face. This is what I love about what I do. Not only does it bring me joy by being able to create these art pieces, but the reaction of a satisfied customer is priceless to me!

Ni Hao Kai Lan Cake
This was such a fun cake to do! I must say that the design is not original. the client showed me a picture of a cake someone made and I replicated it with some modification. Since I don't have small kids any more, I really didn't who the character Ni Hao Kai Lan was, but soon found out. The cake is a marble loaf with cookies and cream buttercream. Delicious!!!!
