Grape Harvest time

With the arrival of Grape season in the Finger Lakes it's only natural to celebrate events with grape themes.

Hand made Fondant decorations adorn what appears to be a wine cask cut in half.

And of course it only gets better - Inside is a decadent Chocolate Merlot Cake!

"Something small"

A request for a small birthday cake lead me to this little creation.

Vanilla cake with an apricot, peach buttercream filling

Side details were inspired by the design of cake I had seen a short time ago but with my own touches added to decorate the top. Handmade oranges, grapes, cherries, and plums all of fondant.

A Leap-day birthday

Here it is, my latest creation....

Requested by a sweet 4 year old who technically turns 1 today.

She's a BIG fan of the Lion King, chocolate cake, peanut butter, and french fries...

Chocolate-chocolate chip cake with peanut butter frosting

wrapped in hand painted fondant and accented with hand made fondant figures....sorry no french fries.

With party decorations to match, it sounds like it's going to be a roaring good time!

to see the Wizard!"

I have had the great pleasure of designing a cake for a very special little girl this week.
She even arrived wearing her ruby slippers to pick up her cake today.




All decorations are handmade from fondant and edible.

Sweet Dreams

I found these pictures in the archives.

Made...oh my...I can hardly remember, maybe 8 years ago?

A bassinet inspired cake for a double Baby shower.

Not twins, but for two expectant moms.

:-)

The "pillow" is even edible made by hand carving the cake into it's pillow form.

An embossed fondant "blanket" covers the top of the bassinet and is circled by hand formed flowers, blue birds, lady bugs, snails, and sweet little bumble bees.

The white cake completely made from scratch and filled with lemon buttercream filling was enveloped with a

 Vanilla French Buttercream in a basket weave design to resemble the wicker of a vintage bassinet.
