GINGER BREAD MEN!!!

No, we don't make ginger bread men cookies, but I love them and in honor of the #holidayseason and the new #Starwars film #Rogueone I'm writing about them. There are two kinds, the ones that have a real spicy flavor, I mean you can taste the ginger, and the other ones that are bland and barely resemble the flavor of ginger, I love the spicy ones for God's sake it the holidays! Let There Be Spice! I thought the ones above were very creative and different and that's why I chose to write about them. Gee, I'm making myself hungry, I think I'll stop in #Wholefoods and buy one. Lol! I think it's also time for me to roll out my pumpkin spiced bourbon cake,

Happy Holidays Everyone!

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.

Hamilton

Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton!  I am dying to see the #Broadwayshow #Hamilton, tickets cost upwards of $500 I've been told, a little too steep for my pockets. I do believe in asking the universe what you want and so far I've had three encounters about the play, my mom mentioned last Thanksgiving that she really want to see it, a gym member at my gym excitedly told me she's going with her daughter to see the play, and lastly the cake above which was ordered by a man who's wife saw the show and loved it so much so that he had us make the cake above replacing Hamilton with Helene, how thoughtful! A #redvelvetcake frosted with cream cheese and then covered in fondant was requested and the rest as you know if you've seen or #googled the playbill replicates the show's logo. Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton I can see my future in the audience. Lol!

When Last Minute Orders Are complicated.

I have found that there are few last minute orders that are really complicated that we turn down, many of them for celebrities, they seem to always need a cake for a talent the next day, but there are times we take on the challenge especially when they are unique. Take for example the cake above, it was ordered by a realty firm for a client they were trying to win an account from, it was to be three buildings that replicated the actual buildings done by a construction company, the realty agency wanted exclusive rights to rent or sell the units hence the courting with the cake. We only had two and a half days to make this cake and it was really a lot of work, I've found sometimes it's best just to not think about the task and just plow through it, this is how we got through finishing this cake on time. By the way, we never like turning down a cake for a celebrity but frankly a lot of times it just impossible to do.

To The Graduating Class of 2016!

Be bold, be fearless and most of all, be you! This cake was made for some MSA Columbia University seniors this past weekend. In a world where celebrities are put on pedastules and an education almost seems absolete in our society to achieving success it's refreshing and reassuring that career choices other than ones that are in the film or TV or should I say in the entertainment industry are still desirable to some.

Made with chocolate cake and filled with fresh strawberries and cream and then frosted with vanilla buttercream and covered with a gold fondant, #Columbiauniversity colors are white and light blue so we made the cap in the school's blue and the design around the cake in white and then added flowers in the same colors. Call us to order one for your school of choice!
