Wedding Favors

3 Tier Wedding Block Cake before flower decorations.

Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Filling.

This cake was for a bridal shower. It incorporates the bride’s colors of lavender and white. The cake is frosted in vanilla buttercream and decorated with a sugar paste bow.

This first birthday cake was a white cake with cannoli filling. The petals are made out of fondant, painted with pink and purple luster - and the butterfly is sugarpaste.

So a client asked me to create an interpretation of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” On a cake for her daughter’s baby shower. She asked me to incorporate some pink in with the blue since they weren’t sure of the sex of the baby. Starry Night is her daughter’s favorite painting - so she thought it would be a cool surprise!

I started out by marblizing lavender, blue and white fondant as my ‘canvas.’

Then I drew the little village around the sides of the cake with food coloring pens and used black fondant to create the Cypress tree.

Then I used gel food color and paint brushes to create my interpretation of the brooding sky and stars! A little luster dust and VOILA!

This Flip Flop cake was for a Pool Party for twin sisters! The sandals were covered in the girls’ favorite colors, pink and purple! This white cake was filled with rich chocolate ganache.

We incorporated several pharmacy elements into this 3 tier topsy turvy cake including a thermometer, pills, stethoscope, mortar and pestle. The cake was for two sisters (Pharmacist & Nurse) who recently graduated from Rutgers. The cake flavors included vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and chocolate cake with oreos and cream.

This two-tier gift box cake was for a Surprise 30th Birthday party a mom threw for her daughter. The theme of the party was a Mexican fiesta-ish party.  We decided not to go Mexican for the cake - but festive indeed! It is white cake with Oreos and Cream Buttercream, covered in vanilla buttercream and rolled fondant.  I threw in a few sugar cookies decorated in the same color for a little more fun!
