“The Kiss” Cake

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

kiss cake full

This was a special cake for a surprise 50th Birthday. The woman of honor’s favorite painting is Klimt’s “The Kiss” and her husband wanted a 3D version in cake, so this is what we came up with. The cake itself is chocolate cake with vanilla chip frosting, covered in fondant (lots o’ fondant, both figures, are made entirely of fondant) and shimmered with various color luster dusts.  Happy 50th Linda! :)

Lawyer & Initial Cupcakes

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

lawyer cupcakes

This was another fun order we had right before the holiday rush. It was for a surprise 25th anniversary for two lawyers.  The client  (their sister/ sister in law) wanted something fun and unique, so we decided to do a cupcake tower with cupcakes that had the balance scale and their initials on them in classic vanilla and chocolate flavors.  But why no picture of the tower you ask.  As an added challenge, the cupcake tower had to travel  to Philadelphia.  Since that is out of our delivery area, we came up with an idea. Our client was willing to pick it up from us and assemble it on site. So we were able to give them the cupcakes and the decorated tower (with pretty silver ribbon, which of course i forgot to take a picture of…lol) and it was fabulous. We’re still waiting on a picture of the completed tower, but i am happy to report it was a hit!

Golf 30th Birthday Cake

Monday, January 4th, 2010

golf cake full

Hi all! Hope everyone had a good holiday! This was a super fun custom golf  cake we did right before the craziness of the holidays.  It was for a surprise 30th birthday and with lots of secret texting back and forth with his wife, we were able to match the birthday boy’s golf bag, and special golf hat!  And my personal favorite is the little golfer we made to look just like him, beard and all!

This cake has a bunch of fun stuff going on. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with vanilla chocolate chip filling, the top two cake tiers are yellow cake with chocolate pudding filling, and the golf hat is actually a big ball of chocolate chip cookie then covered in fondant!  Everything was frosted in tinted buttercream, and garnished with fondant and gumpaste decorations. The “water trap” is also icing, and the “sand trap” is peanut butter icing with graham cracker crumbs on it. His wife requested if possible we sneak in some peanut butter on the cake for her, mission accomplished.  :) The only non edible thing is the pole for the flag and the trees. The base of the trees are styrofoam cones that are covered with piped buttercream. So you can lick them but can’t eat them!

I am so happy to say the cake was a hit, he absolutely loved it and was totally surprised! Happy 30th Gary! :)
