Happy Easter!

Easter Almond Cake with Vanilla Buttercream

Golf bag cake complete with drivers, tees and golf balls. The inside is a yellow cake with chocolate filling. This cake was for a birthday party, but it also serves great as a groomsmen cake.

This cake has also been popular for retirement parties. We created a similar cake for a corporate retirement party with the company logo on the golf bag

Anniveraries are very important. Whether they are to celebrate a marriage, a birthday, a retirement or a big purchase, they are a wonderful way to relive important days in life. I was recently asked to create a cake for a very important anniversary, for Deirdre’s House, a Center for children in Morris County who have suffered abuse, neglect or witnessed domestic violence. They are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a Rededication of the Center in conjunction with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and National Crime Victim’s Rights Week on April 26, 2006. Their work is very impressive, you can check it out at http://www.dobcac.org/.
Anyway - I’m very excited to be a part of the rededication and to donate my services to such a great cause. I’ll definitely post a picture after the event.

Update: See both our cakes here from our NJ Bride shoot

I was asked to create a ‘fashion’ inspired wedding cake to appear in the Fall 2006 edition of NJ Bride Magazine. I’ll keep you all in suspense until the publication comes out…but it was definitely a fun cake to make!

Today my nephew was born! He’s the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen (I know I’m a bit biased). He’s definitely cuter than a cupcake…and reliable indications are pointing to the fact that he could be a border-line genius. I’m not sure…but that’s the feeling I’m getting from him.

Either way, I wanted to share with my readers that Brian James was born today and he and his wonderful mother are doing great! (Oh and my brother, the father is doing well too ).
I can’t wait to make him his first cake….I guess I have to wait a little while…I don’t think putting cake in the bottle will go over well with his parents.

3-Tier Pink and White Swiss Pearl Cake with chocolate chip and chocolate filling

This birthday cake was inspired by our popular pink and brown cake - the difference being that this cake has a different color scheme for the birthday boy.  Blue, green and brown stripes highlight the first tier and atop the cake sits a blue elephant.  The cake flavors include chocolate cake with chocolate filling and vanilla cake with cannoli filling.  We delivered the cake to Long Branch, NJ.

I’ve been fortunate enough in the past few weeks to receive a lot of good press and wonderful business! I feel like a cake baking machine! Speaking of machines… I purchased my edible images printer! Yippy! It prints out fonts, pictures, anything you can imagine! Recently, I did a “Hostess Snoball” cake for a snoball lover’s birthday! I was able to use the printer to print the Hostess logo for a little cake realism! It’s fabulous!

And a fellow cake enthusiast that I met on a cake decorating site has created an ebook entitled “From Printer to Cake Ebook” . It’s a great guide and can be purchased on ebay.
