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.

Making it Stick!

This cake was fun to make but made me feel sick to my stomach because both the bottle of Perrier and espresso martini had to be balanced and that was a difficult feat. Both were made out of cake and both had to stand up on cake, ok we've done that before nothing too difficult, but this cake or rather the tray which was made of cake was shallow so the dowels really had nothing to dig into. Now here's the best part, when the cake was delivered to the venue and assembled it looked great as seen in the picture but the venue had no a/c and it was raining and humid a nightmare for fondant creations. The bottle keep leaning and then so did the the martini glass, party revelers stood besides me and looked and admired the cake when all off a sudden the martini glass just jumped right off the cake! Everyone looked confused and one party guest remarked "It's a good think it happened now before the party really started." I smiled begrudgingly, I was nervous (sick to my stomach), but I knew what I had to do. I reached into my tool bag and pulled out a brush and put edible glue on the base of the glass and on the cake and adhered them together and prayed. I waited around for 10 minutes spoke with the host and hostess of the party who loved the cake, and then checked the glass to make sure that it was secure, it was, and I left but prayed again it was safe and would be for the rest of the night. A week later I got a call from the hostess' concierge company and was asked to price out a 3D cute white dog cake. Hooray!!! I knew not only the cake was liked when I presented it to the host and hostess but it stayed in place! Thank God!

It's All in the Details!

The customer who ordered this #fallthemedcake sent six different photos of cakes and a long list of things she wanted on the #cake we were creating for her. It's not that she wanted us to reproduce anyone else's cake but she want us to use different elements from each. The phone call were maddening and the emails got very confusing after a while (see initial email below (English is not her first language)), BUT... we somehow pulled it off and the customer commented that it was beautiful! Thank God!

Hi

I would like to give you an idea for how I would like the cake to be for the 27th September 2014.

https://www.facebook.com/Snookysoven?ref=hl

It can be two tier 6” first tier and the second tier 4”. We would like it to be for 20 - 25 people.

I like the fence in the fence cake and everything else from the second fall-cakes. 

Just to give you an idea of what I think will look nice and i would prefer to have for the cake is the little fence around the first tier instead of those white pearl look. You could consider one inch of wafer cookies too. 

Then inside the fence it would be the same almost as the fall cake photo with the green stripes and off white background and dried leaves, pumpkins, sunflower, creepers all like it is in the fall cake snap. 

Second tier creepers going up on the second tier with the dried leaves, pumpkins, sunflowers and the wooden banner kind of look saying EVA AND ARYA. Just add owls too sitting on any tier sitting on the creeper or fence. 

On top of the second tier make a small barren tree on the top with an owl sitting on it and two pumpkins under it, next to that pumpkins in a cart overflowing and everywhere around. Or just make two pumpkins under the tree if that takes all the space. You can also have the wooden banner on the top instead of on the second tier just a thought. I would like the tree to be like the tree in the tree photo attached.

Let me know your thoughts and pricing please.

Thanks,

Chandini

Luigi of #MarioBros sits on top of a two tiered fondant cake made of a #funfetticake. We added clouds around the tiers and wrote the inscription in script and as well as a cutout for the name keeping the design simple and in budget.

Ushering in Warm Weather (Because we really really need it!)

Sprinkles always remind me of warm weather, Mr. Softee ice cream trucks with their familiar music that has lasted for decades having patrons lined up in front the ordering window and others walking away with their sweet twisted custard cone with multi-colored sprinkles. The memory conjures summer and Americana or at least warm weather I'm not really sure if Mr. Softee was around during the Americana period. Anyway, this cake was ordered for a wedding ceremony for a couple who loved sprinkles and who was to have a wedding to follow in the near future in Israel. We added a soft shimmering ribbon and ties a bow on each tier making it a beautiful simple cake that brought smiles to everyone. Summer we're waiting for you here in New York City we need you badly to erase all the snow storms of the season.
