Caribbean Themed Cupcake Tower




Created the top cake for this very fun Caribbean themed party. Made the pirate stand on top of the cake with barrel behind with a whiskey bottle. Various bananas were thrown in for the heck of it! Cupcakes and tower was provided by Rose at Rose Petals Cakery. Wish I had a better picture -- he was so fun to create!!

Sadie & Christine




A combined birthday cake, one side for a birthday girl who turned 1 and the other side for a birthday girl who turned 30. Favorite elements were incorporated into each side for each of the birthday girls. All elements were created out of tinted white chocolate and milk chocolate. Cake was dark chocolate cake with cookies 'n cream filling, almond cake with milk chocolate buttercream filling, and top was white chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream filling. Rose and I coordinated cake, cookies and cupcake designs for this birthday event.

Fio


Absolute favorite cake so far! My client (sweet Fio!) saw a picture of a similar cake but chose to have her version in pale yellow. Ten magnolia flowers were added randomly on all sides of the cake. Flowers were made out of gum paste with petal and luster dust added for detailing. Bottom layer was white chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream; third layer was black forest cake with bing cherry and Kirsch flavored buttercream; and second and top layers were dark chocolate cake with cookies 'n cream filling.

Steinway Piano


Another one of my favorites! This cake was a 25th anniversary cake for a couple who love music. Cake was covered with a combination of fondant and white chocolate due to the heat and the party was outside at Raviana on the north shore. I have to say my favorite part of this cake is the bench! Sorry, wish the picture wasn't so blurry. :- /

MaryKate


Zebra striped cake with lime green bow was requested by the sweet 16 birthday girl. One tier was chocolate cake with milk chocolate buttercream and the other was yellow cake with milk chocolate buttercream filling. Entire cake was covered with white chocolate; bow was created out of fondant and decorative "pin" was made out of gum paste with dragees with a coating of luster dust.

Dart Board


Created this dart board for a birthday boy who loves to play darts. All elements created out of tinted white chocolate.

Sunflower


Created a painted effect using colored chocolate and painting it with a paint brush incorporating brush strokes to obtain texture for the petals. Milk chocolate was used to create the seeds in the center of the flower.
