Fun, Girlie Celebration Cakes

Monday, March 28th, 2011

So sorry for the lack of posts lately! I had the amazing opportunity to visit New York last week with my mother as I was invited for an interview with Carly Roney, the editor of The Knot Magazine, for their LIVE weekly web episode! It was such a pleasure meeting all of the wonderful ladies at The Knot and they really made my time in New York even sweeter! You can check out my web episode if you click here and then clink on “The Knot LIVE” and I am episode #6! I am about 19 minutes in and I don’t think you can scroll forward, but all the other guests they have featured and tips they give are great so I would recommend watching the whole thing!

It was quite an experience shipping a fully decorated dummy cake, cake stands, and desserts across the country and then having to prep it all for TV…I did survive it, but barely Of course I loved seeing it all set up and I have to say a big thank you to my fav girlfriend and uber talented wedding designer friend, Jesi Haack, who made me this gorgeous back drop! You are the best!

I was so happy to see Anja from The Knot and of course she is just as cute as her Twitter picture!

A sneak peak into the fabulous studio where it all happened…

Sadly the New York weather wasn’t the nicest too us while we were there (and I even got my iphone stolen the first night), but we did have an amazing time seeing Mama Mia & eating tons of yummy food!

I was so happy to have my mom there with me the whole time…I am definitely blessed!

Well enough talking, I of course have lots of fun photos of cakes we’ve done lately at the shop! We’ve done so many more specialty cakes this year, compared to last year and these next ones were really fun! First up this Louis Vuitton purse was a collaboration between Kyong and I (we like to work together on projects a lot)!

I definitely think the devil is in the details, so with purses you want to make it as realistic as possible.

This cake below was a sweet, girlie birthday cake…all pink please!

Our “favorite things” cakes are becoming more and more popular with people these days as many of them really want to personalize their cake and can’t hone it down to one theme/design, so instead we take all of their favorite things and put it onto one cake!

Kyong is great at small, detailed fondant pieces!

This wine bottle cake was a fun request from a regular client of ours. He wanted to surprise his wife with a exciting cake for her birthday which they were celebrating at a wine bar. He digitally made the wine label and we printed it with edible ink so that it had all of his wife’s info instead of an actual wine bottle’s info. He also loves the french macaroons we make at the shop, so he wanted us to make a grape cluster out of french macaroons as well.

Lastly this blinged out cake was for a fabulous 40th birthday party. She wanted it to be fun, girlie, and with lots of bling! We had a great time making it and I especially enjoyed making this new style sugar flower!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

MORE Specialty Cakes Coming Your Way!

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Since I couldn’t fit all the specialty cakes in one post I thought I’d do a “Part II”! First up is a gorgeous 1st birthday cake we did for a sweet little girl! I especially love the crown on this one!

This next cake was a fun one that Kyong did amazing at! Everything is so crisp and clean…I love it! This cake was for a 70th birthday party for a father & grandfather so the client had us put all the special words that mean something to him on the board. It was also the client’s daughter’s birthday, so we threw in one large chip with a birthday wish on it for her as well!

This cake was made for a special teenage girl who wanted a fabulous cake for her birthday. Her mother said she always watched all the cake shows & so it was really fun to be able to give her a special cake for her birthday too!

I’m surprised that we haven’t done a Dora cake yet at the shop, but this was really our first one. It turned out quite cute and I hope the little girl loved it as much as we did!

We’ve done it before, but I do have to say that I never get tired of the pregnant lady silhouette cake…too cute!

This last spread is special since we got to make the cake & cake lollipops for a friend of mine. Michelle, from Mi Belle Inc, threw the cutest baby shower for a friend of hers and asked us to do a surf themed cake. I loved that she set it all up on a real surfboard…what a great idea!

Of course she had to have some red velvet cake lollipops!

And the inside….our best seller Candy Bar!

Thanks so much again for stopping by!

Adorable 1st Birthday Party

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Well I am starting to be a pathetic blogger again, so my apologies! I wanted to get some fun eye candy up even though I am about to fall asleep at the computer! These adorable photos were taken at a 1st birthday party I had the pleasure of doing the desserts for. She wanted the party to have a girlie, vintage feel to it and I think it came out gorgeous!

We decided to do a center cake with edible lace and a large pink peony sugar flower.

Audrey’s mom made all the adorable details for the party, like the amazing backdrop, frames, flowers etc. She got a lot of inspiration from a first birthday that I had the pleasure of doing with Sarah K. Chen, Linda Ly, & Carissa from JL Designs.

She wanted to do a small amount of mini desserts along with a traditional koren rice cake too.

I wonder what little Audrey is going to choose…cast your vote!

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Celebration Cakes!

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Here’s another fun filled post with photos of some recent celebration cakes we’ve done. We absolutely love making baby shower cakes! Both clients wanted somewhat elegant/modern cakes, but still with a fun baby theme!

The second cake was actually made for some family friends of ours and we are so happy for them as they have their first baby girl!

The last of the celebration cakes was a fun request that we loved making! One of our clients wanted to surprise his wife with an 80’s themed cake for her birthday and so we ran with it! Kyong, one of my new assistants made all the decorations for this cake and she definitely hit it spot on!

Bring back any memories…

Recent Treats!

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Well, exciting things have been happening! One in particular is that my husband and I just bought a house! I can’t believe it actually happened and as I sit here in my house blogging away I have to pinch myself! I am definitely blessed and so happy in my new home! Photos will soon to follow once the decorating is finished!

We have been very busy at the shop too, so I thought I would do a post with lots of recent projects we’ve been doing! Hope you enjoy! First up, are these adorable Twilight cupcakes! I have been so lucky to have very talented interns at my shop and one intern, Kyong, has blown me away many times with her attention to detail and creativity. She made all the decorations for these cupcakes and I thought they turned out great!

The apple is just AMAZING!

Another batch of fun cupcakes that my staff made were for a sea themed birthday party. I loved how they turned out!

We have also been doing some fun cakes as well…this one was for a sassy 60th birthday party!

This one was for a small rustic style wedding.

We had the chance to do another castle cake, but this time with a Hello Kitty theme!

I also love this next small two tier wedding cake with mini cupcakes! We made sugar butterflies and billy ball flowers.

And lastly here is another two tier wedding cake. For this one we did a pink garden rose with gold painted tips and then did gold lace and black accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

New Special Occasion Cakes!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Although we do mostly wedding cakes at the shop we also love making special occasion cakes to help people celebrate that special day in their lives! These types of cakes can sometimes require a lot more work and detail then wedding cakes, but I find that it’s all or nothing when it comes to them because when you say you will make someone a cake that replicates a real life item it either looks like it or not…not too much room for error. With that being said, my big undertaking this month was a DJ Turntable Cake. I was pretty happy with how it came out, but definitely underestimated the hours I would have to put into it!

And since it was a 1st Birthday Cake we added a special element for the birthday boy!

This next cake was for a 25th birthday party! She loved peacock feathers and knew her color scheme, so we took that and ran with it! My sister made the sugar flower and feathers and I think they are amazing!

Kid’s cakes are a lot of fun too, but I try to make sure they still follow my style and don’t get too overdone…here is a Panda Bear Cake with tiny sugar flowers and butterflies!

My assistant, Louisa, made the Panda Bear and I think it turned out great! I love the half smile and cute little face!

Now sometimes people don’t have a lot of money to spend on a special occasion cake, but want something beautiful and delicious, so I always suggest the rustic style cream cheese frosting cakes with fresh flower accents because I think they are just as gorgeous in their own simplistic way!

We also got to do a recent Sweet Sixteen Birthday Cake and she wanted a princess tiara crown and a bold sugar flower!

Lastly one of my favorite cakes recently was for a small wedding we did last weekend. My new intern, Kyong, is definitely an artist and when I showed her the design I wanted to have painted on the cake she did it better than I could’ve imagined. I was also quite happy with this garden rose sugar flower I made. I wasn’t sure how I would like the flower once it had the red tips on it, but I was pleasantly surprised…I think it made it pop and really showed the gorgeous petals off!
