Eiffel Tower






Bonjour mes amis! Joyeux Anniversaire! By far, one of my most challenging birthday cakes and I absolutely LOVE the way this turned out! To be frank, when this order came in I was very intimidated by the potential complexity of the cake. It took about a week to create this cake, starting with a multitude of drawings and breaking down the various elements of the Tower. I then made templates and began cutting out my gumpaste structure. The bottom of the Tower is alternating layers of white and chocolate cake with fudge filling. The middle and top tiers are completely constructed from gum paste. The cake was then airbrushed in an edible silver paint.

Seashell Cupcake Wedding






Rather than a wedding cake, this bride and groom opted for cupcakes. Each coconut cupcake has a turquoise butter cream swirl and is either topped with a seashell, sand dollar, star fish or pearls that were hand sculpted from fondant and gum paste. The creation of these toppers took approximately 4 hours for 170 cupcakes.

John Deere Wedding Cake



A not so traditional cake, this John Deere tractor was modeled off of the couples actual tractor. Because the bride and groom were offering a dessert bar, they decided to have a smaller wedding cake created that completely represented them.

Wedding of a Lifetime 2010


This beautiful 5 tiered wedding cake was displayed at the Wedding of a Lifetime show at the Civic Center. Due to scheduling conflicts, I could not have an official booth this year. Thankfully, Sound and Light Creations, as well as Save the Date found space for me in their booth. This cake was designed specifically for the show. The cakes are covered in fondant and the black demask pattern is piped in royal icing. The cupcakes are frosted in a pink buttercream. This design can easily be scaled to accomodate any brides style, color and servings.
