Get in Shape for Summer.

It's that time of year again, time to get into shape if you haven't maintained it. All spring and summer long I see #Soulcycle tee shirts, hoodies, and locations around the city it must be the IT place for spin classes. Anyway, this cake was made for a SoulCycle enthusiast and we thought it was perfect for this time of the year when we are trying to get in shape or take our workout routine to the next level. Made out of fondant and gumpaste which is covering a lemon cake with passion fruit buttercream.

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.

A Rescued Valentine's Day

She arrived with roses in her arms when she came to pick up her kitty cake that we made for her that evening. Alison Valentine was a singer who ordered a cake to be make in a 2D shape of her logo, a white kitten. "Are those flowers for me?" I asked, she replied "Yes, do you want some?" I smiled and presented her cake to her. "I love it!" She said while blushing and then proceeded to pick through the large bundle of roses. "This is for you." Thank you!" I said excitedly as I extended my hand to accept the rose. "My boyfriend and I just broke up, this is perfect, you made my night" "OMG" She exclaimed. "You have to come to my performance tonight you might meet your Valentine there, please come." I smiled and thanked her for the invitation but declined, it was a cold snowy day and I didn't feel like coming out. "You really should, I'd love to see you there. Anyway, I'll put your name on the list to get in in case you change your mind." And with a few key strokes on her iphone I was confirmed and she left. Thirty minutes later I had changed my mind, and I accompanied with my brother and his girlfriend later that evening headed for Soho to the Maison O where Alison was performing. 

I am so glad I did go out because I had a blast and danced all night long. I took this picture with Alison in her red dress just before her performance.

Thank you Alison for a wonder Valentine's Day glad you convinced me to come out!

Xoxo - Dana

It's All About Timing.

We were asked to make a clock cake for one of the people who was instrumental in installing "The Clock" exhibit at Lincoln Center an art instillation by video artist Christain Marclay I must say truly a masterpiece and a must see if your ever in a city that has it (it travels around the world). So, we made an old fashioned clock, you know like the one we all saw in school in the past. It had a first, second, and third hand and was very visible to all especially if you were running late (I remember those days). Anyway, decorated all  in buttercream and done in the colors black, white and red for the third hand. Truly a classic!
