A metallic cake created for the November 2012 issue of Brides Magazine.
Gingerbread Skyscrapers
This weekend, I had the opportunity to create a gingerbread display for the New York Botanical Garden's Gingerbread Adventure which is being held in conjunction with the Holiday Train Show. I was introduced to this opportunity by the fabulous Kate Sullivan of Cake Power. She's been creating awesome displays for years! Visit the gardens this winter to check out all the baker's creations.
Here are some process shots: It all started with a sketch...
I made trees by covering inverted sugar cones with sanding sugar.
Silver and Pearl Cake
Here is a 4 tier cake that we made for a wedding at the St. Regis.
The square tiers were cascaded with hundreds of little circles that were individually cut out, curved, piped and painted. A personalized monogram of the couple was the perfect accent to complete it.
Here's a few pictures during the process.
Sage Green Ribbon Cake
Here's a look at a cake we made for a wedding at Studio 450. It's decorated with a sage green gumpaste ribbon that has been scored with cris-crossing lines and royal icing dots that were painted gold. Flowers were from Unique Image Design.
Bottega Louie
I went to Los Angeles a few months ago and met up with a high school friend that I haven't seen in years! We met at the ultimate sugar dreamland, Bottega Louie. All the pastries looked picture perfect and tasted just as great. It a huge space with seated dining in the back, but all I wanted to stare at were the desserts in the front :) I had box of assorted French macarons and a key lime tart... yum!
Elephant topper cake
We recently created a 4 tier cake with an elephant cake topper! The bride and groom requested a design with a hint of Indian influence and here's how it turned out.
Below is the finished cake. I loved working with the beautiful flowers and the unique color combination of purple, green and pewter.
