Louboutin Shoe Cake


A black and red Louboutin shoe tops off this striking two tier cake for a twenty first birthday in NJ.

The first tier was a chocolate fudge and vanilla cake with raspberry preserves and Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream, a zebra print fondant decorated the outside. The second tier was red velvet cake and cream cheese filling, covered in fondant with a leopard print design.

Red fondant pearls encircle the cake, we also added larger black and ivory fondant balls to match the shoe colors.

Pink Lotus Flowers Birthday Cake


One of the best things about what I do is to be able to create a cake for some special occasion. We delivered this two tier cake for a 70th birthday party in Mountain Lakes NJ. Vanilla genoise is moistened with lemon syrup, layers of raspberry preserves and Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream. The cake is decorated with pink fondant ropes, white drapes and piped scrolls. An arrangement of pink lotus flowers and apricot apple blossoms tops off the cake.

White Roses with Ivory Drapes Wedding Cake


The Terrace in the Sky restaurant in Manhattan was the venue for an elegant New York wedding celebration.

The bride asked me recreate a hexagonal ivory colored cake that she loved, which had white sugar roses and hydrangeas. The four tiers of red velvet cake have a raspberry buttercream filling and a thin layer of raspberry preserves. Each tier is covered in an ivory fondant, a series of scrolls are piped in icing and then adorned with fondant drapes. I added some leaves to give the colors a contrast, and the base of the cake is surrounded by ivory fondant pearls.

This was truly was a white wedding, the cake was delivered through a blizzard!
