Wedding Blossoms

I got a call on Wednesday to see if I could do a cake for Friday and that gave me the 1st official Just Cake wedding!!!  The cake was 3-tiers with 2 layers per tier with one-inch steps between the tiers.   The cake is setting on an octagon shaped cake board, with two round tiers and one octagon shaped tier.  The bride wanted pink incorporated into the cake, but wanted it kept simple.  We decided to do cascading blossoms.  There are several sized pink flowers used to decorate the cake and the top layer has over 150 small blossoms and then the flowers become fewer and fewer the further down the cake they go.  In total, there are over 250 small blossoms.  Thanks to Nick and Marquee for giving me the opportunity to be part of their special day!

Little Black Corvette

This Little Black Corvette is red from the inside out, made with red velvet cake, coated in buttercream and then covered in black fondant. Side-view mirrors, windshield, tires,  seats, lights, and the Corvette logo are all made of gumpaste and fondant.  The cake was to celebrate a 60th birthday so the license plate reads SIXTY!  The cake is on a small platform that I built so the car is not setting directly on the road, but has space between car and road.    Whether or not you are a Corvette fan, you can definitely sink your teeth into this ride!

Horses and Fishes

Horses and fishes for a sweet little 4 year old!  There are two things this four year old really likes- My Little Pony and the new fish tank she is getting for her birthday, therefore a horse and fish cake!  Chocolate cake on the top tier and vanilla on the bottom make this purple and pink cake as yummy on the inside as it is whimsical on the out.  When I delivered the cake the birthday girl was very excited about the pony, fish and number four jumping off the top of the cake.  Delivery is always included when you order and it is one of my favorite parts of being a cake designer!

Beers to You

A mug of beer birthday cake for a 22 year-old college student’s birthday! If the mug could really hold beer, it would have held about a gallon of it, but instead under the fondant and generous layer of buttercream the party-goers found chocolate and vanilla cake. The beer serves 30 to 35 generous pieces and the mom who ordered the cake was very excited for her son to see it. Cheers!!!

Magic Cake

A magician birthday party and a true liking of yellow inspired the cake for a 10 year old’s birthday party. Chocolate and lemon cake with buttercream piled high under the fondant. The cake serves 30 to 35.

Fighting Irish

Happy Birthday to a true Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan. There was a request for a football field of chocolate cake and the Notre Dame logo in the center of the field. Goal posts made of gumpaste can be found at each end of the field. The cake is single layered and can serve 18 to 20.

Mini-Cakes

No matter the celebration mini-cakes are a wonderful way to make it personal.  Each cake is 2-layers, with buttercream and then decorated with fondant embellishments.  The cakes are about 3 inches in diameter and can be the perfect addition to dinner parties, bridal showers, birthdays, weddings or any other event where cake is on the menu.  The cakes are small and elegant and are available in minimum orders of 8 cakes.

Frosty the Snowman

This cake was for my daughter’s 14th birthday party.  As soon as she hears of the first frost, she starts wishing for snow.  The body of the snowman is 4-layers of chocolate cake with generous amounts of buttercream.  The head and hat are made of rice crispy treats.  The nose, arms, and brim of the hat are made of gumpaste- which I make myself.  The cake will serve 30 to 35 people and the rice crispy treats are just a nice yummy bonus.  My wife cut the cake and said, “taking a knife to a snowman’s head just doesn’t feel right!”

A Fishy Bowl

3-layers of chocolate cake make this fishy cake extra fabulous.  The birthday boy loves to go fishing and has a fish tank of his own, so when asked what he would like on his cake, fish were his obvious choice.   There are small fish taking a swim in the seaweed all the way around the entire bowl.  Floating on top of the water are birthday wishes for the birthday boy. The cake can serve 15 to 18 people.

Clown-Fishing Around

This cake certainly could be considered a fish out of water.  Waves of gumpaste and fondant covered layers of vanilla cake find this clown fish making quite a splash.  The cake is stacked 4-layers high and can easily serve 14 to 16 people.  When I delivered the cake the birthday boy was running around the house with a huge grin on his face squealing ‘fishy!’  I’ve had excited reactions, but that one took the cake!
