Romantic Golden Birthday Cake

It's always interesting when someone comes to me to do a cake for someone else. That's what happened with this golden beauty. The client wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a cake, and when he sat down with me and I started asking questions I think he started to panic a bit.

He knew she loved flowers, white roses to be exact. He purchases her a bouquet every Sunday.

Then we got into her personality and thank God for social media and the fact that she has a presence on many social media platforms because I was able to see that she loved gold and she is a lingerie designer. I decided to go with a gold cake wrapped in lace and finished with a bit fully bloomed white rose.

White Whisper cake...White chocolate cake with a french vanilla cream and fresh blueberry filling.

Lava Cake

I shall call this the Lava Cake for want of a better name. The inside is a mocha cake with a little surprise layer. On the outside is vanilla bean Swiss meringue buttercream. Topping it are red sugar shards.

Fire, lava... i think this cake design reflects the heavy workload i am encountering right now. It certainly sounds dramatic, right? Most creative professions are.

Now there's the little surprise in this Lava cake. A layer of vanilla cake tinted red sandwiched between two layers of mocha cake.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Peanut butter chocolate cake. Moist chocolate cake is layered and frosted with a rich peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream. To make it even more decadent, it is topped with Ferrero Rocher, a dark chocolate ganache drip and peanut butter chocolate chip cookie crumbs.
