Princess Castle

A castle for Princess Mercedes!  Square cakes stacked 2 tiers high with 3 layers on the bottom tier and 2 layers on the top tier.  The castle has 6 turrets all made from edible rice crispy treats.  There are royal icing railings around the castle and the door is decorated with birthday wishes.  The castle serves 20 to 25 and is made of marble cake.  With turrets, the cake stands 16 inches high.

Bottoms Up

I got an email from a woman in Cleveland asking if I do bachelor party cakes.  My initial thought was- that depends.  She explained that she wanted a bare bottom with royal blue thong underwear for a birthday party and I figured it could turn out pretty funny!  The cake is marble and then carved and covered with fondant.   There is royal icing lace on the underwear and small fondant bows.  When I delivered it she was very excited and said Mike would love it!

Diamond Doves

Twinkie and Zebo were the inspiration for Zoe’s Birthday cake.  Zoe was receiving 2 birds as her gift, so her family though it would be quite s surprise to also have them in cake.   Twinkie is white cake and Zebo is chocolate.  Each bird would serve 10 to 12 and the neck and head of each bird is designed from rice treats.  I was provided a photo of the birds and the family was so excited to see how closely the cake depicted the birds.

Mission 120

I was asked to do a cake for an office party.  The theme was Mission 120 and the cake needed to be out of this world.  The cake is 3 layers of chocolate with buttercream and then decorated with stars, planets, and spaceships.  The cake serves 12 to 18.

AHOY! It’s a Boy

AHOY!  It’s a baby shower for a boy.  A love of ships, sailing, and a little boy on the way were the inspiration for this cake.  3-layers of chocolate cake covered in fondant and then decorated with various items made from gum paste.  There is a friendly whale swimming in the water, anchors hanging from the bow, and ropes coiled on the deck.  The sails are made from gum paste as well.   The cake will serve 40 to 45.

Check Mate

An edible chess board for an 11 year-olds birthday. The chess pieces are made from gum paste and are completely edible and each piece is molded to look like its inedible counterpart. When I delivered the cake he was excited that he would be able to actually play a game of chess on his cake. The cake is 2 layers of marble cake and serves about 30 people. The brown fondant was mixed to give it a marble look, much like the chess board the birthday boy was getting for his birthday!

Kaili’s Horse

Kaili was turning 14 years-old and her mom said she has a brown horse with a black mane and tale. The cake is butter, a new recipe for me, and is 3 7-inch layers. The horse on top is made from gum paste, as are the grasses that display the birthday girls name. The cake serves 12 to 18 people.

Peter Pan

You can fly, you can fly!  Peter Pan takes flight above a 3-layer, 7 inch chocolate cake.  The cake is decorated with Big Ben, the alarm clock swallowing alligator, Skull Rock, and Hook’s ship.  The cake serves 15 people.  Peter Pan is made of gum paste and he is attached with wire.

A Few of Their Favorite Things

This cake was for two girls who were each celebrating their 14th birthday.  They ordered the cake and provided me with a pencil drawing of what they wanted and a list of their favorite colors.   The cake is 4-layers of marble cake and served 25 to 30 people.  The bow is made of gum paste and painted with edible silver paint.
