We received a request from our client to create an enchanted forest theme cake similar to the one we created for David Tutera and My Fair Wedding.

We faded blue & periwinkle fondant from light to dark across the tiers of the cake. A tree is growing up the side of the cake with branches curled across the tier in brown and gold. White, blue, purple and gold butterflies circle the cake to finish of the theme.

Flavors included red vevlet with raspberry chambord & lemon cream cheese, vanilla cake with pistachio buttercream & coconut buttercream, and chocolate cake with oreos and cream buttercream. The wedding was held at Pearl River Hilton in Pearl River, NY.

We were happy to create this cake for Paul Teutul Jr. from the reality TV show American Chopper and his wife Rachel, for their wedding at the beautiful Bonnet Island, LBI. .

The cake included six tiers of cascading roses & orchids and was covered in ivory fondant and decorated with swiss dots. Cascading roses and orchids swirl down the tiers along with crystals. Blush pink piped pearls surround each tier. Flavors included pink velvet with lemon cream cheese.

Here’s a video of the cake I shot at the shop:

Excuse the non-cake post, but this week the crew at Pink Cake Box got together for a team building event at our house. The team building event was centered around Family Feud. We split up everyone into two teams – “Team Golden Girls” & “The Real Pink Boxes of NJ” and setup Family Feud on the Nintendo Wii in our basement.

“The Real Pink Boxes of NJ” ended up winning it all but everyone went home with some sort of prize. Below are some pictures from the event.

We were very fortunate to have Alicia Vitarelli from New Jersey News 12 stop by the shop last month as part of her Best Kept Secrets of NJ news segment.

In the segment she profiled Pink Cake Box and showed some scenes from inside the shop. Laura and Kara from My Bellissima also stopped by for an interview. You can watch the video on Facebook and check out Alicia’s blog for more photos and info.

The top decorative element for this cake is gold-leaf covered sign which reads “70 is the new 60″. We used blue/green fondant with ivory and chocolate brown polka dots to match the color scheme of the invitation.

The cake is also decorated with sugar orange/peach tiger lilies and ivory parrot tulips at the base of the tiers. The entire cake was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. We delivered the cake to Undici Restaurant in Rumson, NJ

Tiffany blue fondant with apple red dot accents decorate this 3 tier lobster beached themed wedding cake. Our client was inspired by our Just Married Wedding cake and asked us to incorporate similar themes. Fondant shells and starfish round out the remaining decorations.

A cute addition to the cake is the “YEE HAW!” message on the back. The entire cake is dairy free and the flavors included vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and chocolate cake with raspberry chambord. We delivered the cake to the Stroudsmoor Country Inn & Spa in Stroudsburg, PA.

This Nascar style racing car was custom designed by the birthday boy. We used his design as inspiration for the car detail and decoration.

We were thrilled to get this feedback from Leslie:

Dear Anne (& the Pink Cake Box team) –

My husband was THRILLED with his NASCAR self-designed cake for our company, The Post Chronicle, and said he thought you guys got it perfect! He was so happy and all of the birthday guests took pictures to put online. The tPC cake was a real work of art, with excellent detail, and happily delicious. The kids at the party had a blast pulling off the tires and eating the car decorations. Priceless!!

Thank you so very much for taking on this job, especially with just two weeks notice, and for making my husband’s special day even more so.

We can’t wait to think up something exciting for our next party!

With warmest regards,
Leslie & Family
