One of My Favorite Cakes!

Monday, June 20th, 2011

We get to make lots of wedding cakes during the year, but certain cakes come along and make me so inspired and this cake was one of them! I loved designing the cake based off of a wedding dress from Anthropologie’s new wedding website BHLDN and then meshing it with the style of the bride’s wedding design. They were a wonderful couple to work with and I think their wedding just turned out dream-like. They got married at the gorgeous Rancho Las Lomas and of course has Found Vintage Rentals to deck out the whole venue with their amazing furniture pieces & rentals. White Haute Photography snapped the stunning images and Larissa from, Inviting Occasions, did the lovely florals. You can check out all the other great venues down below!

We not only did a wedding cake, but a fun mini dessert spread and a vintage baseball glove as well for the groom that LOVES baseball!

Love this last photo of the couple cutting the cake…

Like I said this has to be one of my favorite cake designs. It has so much texture and design, but is still modern and clean looking. I basically did all the sugar flowers and lace molds by hand and then accented some pieces with pewter silver. Here is the dress from BHLDN that inspired me!

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!

Purse Cake Tutorial!

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Like I said in a recent post Thanksgiving was a lot of fun for me and one of the reasons it was extra special is because my niece’s birthday landed right on it! So I thought I would make her a purse cake for her birthday this year. I loved hearing all of your wonderful purse suggestions and looked at many styles along the way. For this purse cake I have to say that I didn’t really go with one exact purse, but rather combined different elements of purse cakes and other cake details that I have seen and wanted to try out. I also tried to take some photos along the way so you could see how the basic structure is built. Hope you enjoy it!

My niece requested Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, so that is what I made. I baked the cake off in two half-sheet pans and then cut each pan in three parts, so there was six layers all total. I layered the cake and at about four inches height I dowelled the cake and put my cardboard piece on so that the cake would be more stable. I then stacked the cake a little more and started carving away until I got the shape I wanted.

I then frosted the cake in vanilla buttercream and let it set up in the fridge for a couple hours. Next I covered the cake with fondant in two stages so that I could get the ruffled effect.

Then I used a zipper mold to make the zipper and placed it in the middle of the cake.

To get the color I used a mixture of lemon extract, petal dust, and luster dust and painted the cake by hand. I then painted the accents gold.

For the final details I scored the cake down the center and painted the lines gold and brown. Then I placed gold dragees up the center of the cake. To finish off the cake I borrowed my sister’s broach and put it as the final detail. (I could’ve attempted to make one out of sugar, but didn’t have the time)
