Hello, I had a busy week. I I had a chance to have a table display for the local military spouse. For the occasion I prepared a variety of decorated sugar cookies, cupcakes, canestrelli(my sister favourite Italian cookies) and everyone favourite...cake bites. I kept my theme a vintage nostalgia.

Ruffle

This week I finally had a chance to make a ruffle cake. I recently learned this technique on http://www.mycakeschool.com/ on ombre and ruffle with buttercream. I personally like buttercream cakes better than fondant one, they have a more romantic and nostalgic look. So I was really happy when I had a request for a purple cake for a first birthday and this is how it looks like.

Baby girl cookies

It seems this year cookies are very popular. I usually receive a lot of request for cakes and cake bites but recently I am getting a lot of order for cookies. I always wanted to make little baby feet decorated cookies. They are everywhere in the web and they look adorable. I have to say that after making so many little feet and little toes by hand I decided to buy the mold a huge time saver.

Military ceremony cakes

As you already know my husband is in the service( Air Force),and I live in a big military community.So I always have request for military retirement or promotions cakes. Today I will show you 3 cakes I made recently for this events, and one of those was for my husband promotion ceremony(I am very proud of him). I am always honor to make cakes for military member because I know how many sacrifice they do for all of us.

Sophia's Birthday

Hello,
this week I took a break from orders and just focus on my daughter birthday party. She turned 6 on May 25 and she wanted a blue princess party. She was very specific on the cake:she wanted a blue castle cake. To be honest she saw the "cake boss" episode where he made a castle cake for his daughter and she wanted the same...yea right I can't pull that off in my chicken and in 2 days so I made a smaller version. My own version for my beautiful Sophia.

Tea party, Birthday

This week I had the opportunity to prepare some sweet for a girl tea-party Birthday. My client gave me white paper, she told me:"I trust on your taste" and gave me the girl name(Abigail). So I went big. I made cupcakes with pink frosting and sugar decorations and I made the dollies with her name on it. I also made some cake bites dipped in pink coating. So each little girl will have a cupcake and a cake bite.

anniversary cake

Try to make a cake that please him and her at the same time is always a challenge. Usually with ladies you add a little of pink or some flowers and they are very happy. But for the male is not so easy all the time. So when I was asked to make an anniversary cake for a couple (23 years together) I tried to keep my design suitable for both:Red roses on top for her and black stripe on the bottom for him.
The bottom tier is a red velvet cake filled with chocolate cream cheese frosting (for him), and the top tier is a marbled cake filled with chocolate frosting(for her).

Cookies, cookies and more cookies

These last couple weeks were filled with cookies baking. I love cookies, there is something in these little bites that brings back memories. We all grow up loving them, coming back home and finding fresh baked cookies was haven when I grow up. Now than I am grown up I can see these little sweets taking an elegant and different twist. those are some of my favorite one because they looks beautiful and they can be customized. Perfect as a present or favors or just a treat for yourself....

Birthday cake

December Wedding

This month I had a big wedding cake to make. 3 tier 22 inches tall. The bride was getting married the day after Christmas and that day a huge snow fall decided to come over us with record high(10inches). I really enjoy making this cake. It was totally different than my usual style so it challenged me. I also had to have my husband help for the transportation considering the weight of the cake and the conditions of the roads. I also made over 150 cake bites for the guest using the same color scheme of the cake: Red,white and gold.

Taylor guitar

Hello,
These week was very busy with pastries and cakes(and sick kids) but so far so good. I has an order for a guitar shaped cake. A client email me a pictures of her husband guitar and asked me to make a cake alike. I have to say that my husband helped me a lot on supervising the decorations. I had no clue how a guitar is, I used the picture but help from somebody than knows guitar really helps. The body is chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and the neck is red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I also almost destroy the cake during the delivery but this is all another story.....

Zebra Cake

Recently I receive a few request for cakes with zebra prints. This is small(6')one. It is a chocolate cake in zebra print and decorated with eatable flowers. My client instead of the big cake opted for a small one and an assortment of cake bites for easy serving.

Spider man cake

Hi, how are you today?
As you can see my week-end was busy, 3 cakes in 3 day was a challenge! This cake was for my friend son. He loves Spider man so I wanted to do something cool for him. It is not a girly cake nor pink or glittery but I think I like it. And I think he liked it too because he was so nice to bring me a present after the birthday party.

Club Penguin Cake

I had a request for a club penguin cake. I have to be honest I had no idea what club Penguin was but thanks to google I was able to learn. Don't you love google? It is like an online 24-information tool!
Anyway this is a French Vanilla cake with butter cream frosting. I made all the penguins and igloo with a mix of fondant and gum paste.

50 Anniversary Cake

This week I worked on a cake for a couple 50 Anniversary. A client asked me for a cake for her parents anniversary. Gold is the color for the 50 anniversary so I had to put some gold accents. This is a small(6"inch) cake, just perfect for a couple.

Cake bites

October is breast cancer awareness month. I received a request for cake bites for an event and I wanted to add a touch to remember breast cancer. I made 40 French Vanilla(my all time favorite) cake bites dipped in pink chocolate.

Wedding cake

I want to start this blog with one of my favorite wedding cake. I was asked to make a cake for a wedding in September using the colors:white,black and red. So I made a 3 tier French Vanilla Cake covered with white fondant as a base. I topped the top layer with roses. The wonderful sparkling detail on the 2 tier is a vintage brooch I brought with me from Italy. I have to say that was the first 3 tier cake I made and I was very nervous about it( taller cakes are a challenge especially during the transfer).Everything turned out great and the bride and the groom were very happy.
