Party Dress Cake
This past Thursday we competed in a cake contest sponsored by the Somerset Art Association. The “Let Them Eat Cake” contest’s theme was the celebration of spring. We created the “Bloom of the Ball” which was a nature inspired party dress adorned with sugar roses, vines, and leaves hanging on a dress form.
The cake was a sour cream orange zest cake filled with pistachio and white chocolate buttercream. It was a really great experience creating this 46″ tall cake, although its transportation to Bedminister Fiddler Elbow’s country club was a little daunting…not to mention our air brush machine overheated and blew out every fuse in our store the night before! This forced us to hand paint the cake…but it all worked out in the end.
We were so excited to win the “Show Stopper” award. I couldn’t have done it without my staff. Thanks for all of your hard work…and keeping me sane through this past reaaaallly long week!

Hi Anne.
I’m visiting your site for the first time. Certainly not the last time! This is an AMAZING piece of edible art. You are a true artist and talent. Congratulations!
I’m a newbie to cake decorating (only at it for really about 8 months now). Learning something new everyday…I suspect I would learn MUCH faster watching someone like you. What I wouldn’t do to spend a week in your shop…If ever you are looking for a shadow…let me know ;o)
