This very large 5 tier  cake was created with a “Sam am I,  I am Sam”  theme relating to Dr. Seuss and …the fact that the girls name was Sam.  Her interests are decorated around each tier including, ballet slippers, skates for figure skating, pottery, a passport, and a scuba diver.   Colored fondant curly q’s and large flowers and leaves fill out the separators.

A multitude of flavors made up this cake including chocolate cake with hazelnut, oreo and raspberry buttercream,  pink velvet cake with vanilla buttercream, lemon cream cheese and raspberry buttercream red velvet with smores. and  vanilla cake  with chocolate buttercream, cream cheese and pistachio buttercream and pink velvet cake with oreo, chocolate and coconut buttercream.  We delivered the cake to the Christian Science Meeting Hall in New York, NY.

This spinning globe bar mitzvah cake was inspired by the artwork of Sir Edward Burne. The boys name is decorated across the base of the cake in Old English font and gilded with gold. Scripture passages from Genesis and a Adam and Eve scene are painted across the globe. Spiraling up from the base is a 3D snake wrapped in vines.

To top it off the globe includes a motor which spins the globe. See the video below I took in the shop which shows off the spinning globe:

The cake was red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream and we delivered it to Trump National Gold Club in Bedminister, NJ.

This 3 tier wedding cake with a cabbage rose bouquet was created (201) Bride magazine summer 2009 edition. From the magazine:

Heap’s cake displays classic elegance. This sleek, rounded three-tiered cake is finished in rolled fondant and features a sophisticated gum past cabbage rose bouquet adorned with a satin bow. The lemon chiffon cake is filled with raspberry white chocolate mousse. Heap believes that matching the cake’s flowers to those used in bouquets is a popular trend. “Mimicking a bride’s gown and bouquet is a wonderful way to translate the bride’s style onto a cake”, she says.

So I can breathe a little now that the show has aired. It’s pretty scary watching yourself on TV…I notice weird things like the fact that I stick my tongue out when I’m concentrating… haha.

Anyway – I wanted to share some photos of the challenge now that I can…it was a really fun challenge and I am proud of the cake that Cathy and I put forward, whether or not it looked like a ‘wedding cake’. Really, after the last challenge, the goal was just to make a pretty cake – so that’s what we tried to do ! I was pretty steadfast about not changing the design too much – so that I didn’t run out of time…

Anyway – just wanted to share some pics and thank everyone for the great support!!!!

Lastly, here is a close-up of the fantasy flowers we created:

And I should mention that Josh Rael, my bachelor on the show, has his own website where you can listen to some of his music.

Each tier of this 7 tier wedding cake includes different detailed patterns including quilting, damask, dots and swirls.  White and pink orchids and lilies highlight the top tier.  Flavors include chocolate cake with raspberry chambord, chocolate and hazelnut fillings, vanilla cake with cannoli filling and chocolate buttercream, and pink velvet cake with chocolate mousse.

We delivered the wedding cake to Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, NJ.

Ellen left us a great note after the wedding:

Anne,
Loved the cake (as my husband already told you). I have enclosed a photo from the reception below. Not only was it utterly beautiful, but it was incredibly delicious. We went table to table to try all the different combos we had designed with you.

The cake fulfilled all Suzi’s wishes. Thank you,
Ellen

Inside the basket is red velvet with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cake with oreos and peanut butter filling.

Update: Kathryn from Australia Entertains featured this cake on her blog and gave me a great idea for what to get my mother for next years mother’s day.

The flavors include white cake with alternating layers of oreos and cream and peanut butter filling and red velvet cake with lemon cream cheese.

The bride and groom left us this wonderful note:

When we were asked to replicate Rachael Ray’s talk show kitchen, we definitely didn’t know what we were in for! I’m not even sure how many hours it took my staff and I to complete this cake…but let’s just say we were all at Pink Cake Box into the wee morning. (I want to take this time to thank the entire Pink Cake Box staff for your hard work on this project! It was a great team effort!)

This replica cake was 3 feet long by 2 feet wide. The flavor was chocolate cake with oreos and cream. Everything in the kitchen was edible, except for the walls and shelves…although those too were covered in sugar. The counter, refrigerator, stove and all of Rachael Ray’s trinkets were replicated out of fondant, sugar paste, and cake.

Below enjoy some of the photos of our staff and behind the scenes at the Rachael Ray show. Happy 40th Rachael Ray! We are so glad we could help make your day special.

You can catch the video of the cake on the Rachael Ray website. Here is what they had to say on the website:

No birthday party is complete without cake, and this one is what Rachael would call a “jaw-dropper” — an exact replica of the studio kitchen, from the baby blue fridge and the orange stove to the wine rack, counter accessories, the kitchen table, tile floor and more!

Some of the Pink Cake Box staff poses in front of the cake:

How’s this for a thoughtful testimonial. Nearly a year later Jason and Carolynn left us this comment on their very popular Groom’s cake. Thanks for making my day

This may be a bit belated but…Thats our cake!! Hehe! It’s been a year now since Carolynn and I got married at the Olde Mill Inn and I only thought now to look and see if our cake might have been posted on your site and Ta-Da! Here it is!

We highly recommend your work to everyone we know who is getting married. This cake was a big highlight at our wedding and once we built the entire Nightmare Before Christmas city around it it was truly amazing! People loved it!

Great job and beautiful work!

We look forward to working with you again for our future milestone events in our life.

All the best,

Jason & Carolynn
