HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

#TheOrangeMan, #SyracuseUniversity's mascot and the mascot of my alma mater, "Go SU!!!

At every game the Orange Man would be there to support the team and get the Home Crowd rowd up! I loved seeing him walk and run through the crowds of people, for Halloween I would love to have a costume like his, not the Orangeman per se, but I would love to be a walking something, like a carton of milk, or a pack of cigarettes with two or three cigarettes popping out of the top. Year after year I imagine myself as something and year after year I fail to make the costume, it takes a lot of work and planning, it'll happen some day, know it! Anyway, the cake above was made for a SU grad's husband who also went to #SyaracuseUniversity. "We are...SU!!! Loved that school, great memories.

My Favorite cake.

I love love love this cake, I think because it's simplistic in design and because I love pigs, if I didn't live in NYC I would have a pig and one of those miniature horses too, you know like the one on the #Amazon commercial where the little guy isn't accepted by the other horses so the owner buys a low entry door for him to come inside to be with her for company. Lol! Back to the cake. Made for little Chloe who we are actually making another cake for this week, it's a two-tiered cake made out of chocolate and covered in fondant.  This week's cake is a Lego's Friends cake and it's a playground scene with the five girls on it. Happy Birthday Choe!

Coors Light!

Above is a #Coorslight bottle cake made for ten people, I know, small right? It's always harder to get details in for smaller cakes, think about small artifacts from a distant time that are handmade. Here in NYC at the #MetropolitanMuseumofArt there are rosary beads made during the medieval times that have intricate scenes carved out of them, I'm always in awe of them but more importantly wonder how they could have been made. Our cake about was hand carved and then frosted with a buttercream which was covered by fondant. Many times with fondant we make cut outs of images, letters, etc..but this time we hand pipped the Coor Light on since the cake was so small.

A Simple Little Cake!

Sometimes in life it's the simple things that give us the most pleasure, running in the rain in the summer when it's hot, connecting with someone well appreciated from your past, and whatever imaginable for you. The cake above is one of our simpler masterpieces, decorated in buttercream alone, and not fondant as usual, it conveys a pleasurable scene of dolphins, the friendly mammals of the waters. Little Anwen wanted a dolphin jumping out of the water with a smile on its face with a sunset in the background and that's what we created for her. The cake was all chocolate with chocolate buttercream and we added vanilla buttercream on top hand piped and then manipulated with a palette knife to depict the colors of the water and sky.
