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!

This Doesn't Make Sense to Me 

Halloween Before the Start of School?

During a shopping excursion at Michaels I discovered Halloween decorations already prominently displayed in the store. Com'on Micheals, REALLY? Kids haven't even gone back to school yet, NYC retailers are really pushing this holiday on us. In the words of Tyga and Bieber "Wait for a minute"!

A Cake Fit for a Princess!

The princess cake, adorned with edible jewels in the crown and topped with the princess' age (she turned five). We added a draping piece of fondant on the bottom tier and then affixed bows on the draped gatherings. This cake turned out to be three tiers of fanciful delight and little Adriana screamed with laughter  when it was presented to her.

In Honor of Peter Cotton Tail and the Easter Bunny.

Ok, so he's not bright and colorful like Peter Cotton Tail or the Easter Bunny but that's because we made this cake replicate the logo of a comedy group in NYC called #KillerBunny, but we at Snooky's think he still turned out cute! Made out of chocolate cake and buttercream and covered in fondant we were told that our bunny was the highlight after a comedy show so we are claiming him as our Easter Bunny cake however if it's for the actual holiday he will have to make him more colorful sitting on grass, but for the minimalist I suppose he perfect just the way he is.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy was created for a little girl who loves piglets. I being a pig lover myself and let me just say I am all things pigs for example I have a crystal pig that sits on my self, napkin rings made out of pewter that I had to have and bought directly from a restaurant I was dining at in Virginia, a stuffed piggy which I have had since my college years and refuse to throw away, and the list goes on. Needless to say I had a lot of fun making it this cake, it's simple in design but depicts the animal nicely and in a cute way and was a nice break from some other the other cakes that had crazy over the top details.

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.
