18th Birthday Cake

This pink, black and white 18th birthday cake was a honor to create. The birthday girl has had every birthday cake for all of her 18 years done by me. I have loyal clients but she's the first that I'm not related to that I've been honored to do this for.

Top tier:
Crème Brûlée...Caramel cake filled with fresh caramel & white chocolate ganache.

Bottom tier:
Decadent Chocolate...A divinely decadent chocolate cake filled with chocolate fudge & chocolate-chip mousse.

3 layer Chocolate & Salted Caramel Drip Cake

3 layer Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cake (vanilla buttercream between layers of chocolate sponge, coated in chocolate buttercream, topped with doughnuts, Mars bar, flake, marshmallows, macrons, with salted caramel in and around). 

Closeup look.

Brooklyn Black Cake

Brooklyn Blackout Cake. Popular during and just after the second world war, this is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Rich dark sponge is filled and layered with thick chocolate custard.

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is beautiful and easy – but mysterious. But above all black says this: ‘I don’t bother you – don’t bother me.' 

Inside look at the Brooklyn Blackout Cake. I'm going to tort it into thinner layers next time so each mouthful will have a better ratio of custard to cake.

Banana Bread

Banana bread with salted caramel drizzle and a sprinkling of ground almonds.

Curves and sharp edges make this pan one of my most beloved bundt pans ever.

In the end, an entire cake was just too much for one family so we split it two ways. Sharing is caring! Best thing is I got an inside look at this beauty.

Beach Themed Bridal Shower

This cake is so beautiful 3 tiers of delicious buttercream beach themed bridal shower cake.

8" cream cheese sand tier and by sand I mean nilla wafers.

Little Man Baby-shower Cake

I just love this theme and when a loyal customer allows you create freely. They call their unborn son little man, so I just went with it.

Top tier

Decadent Chocolate...A divinely decadent chocolate cake filled with chocolate fudge & chocolate-chip mousse.

Bottom tier

Tuxedo...Layers of white & dark chocolate cakes filled with layers of white-chocolate truffle & rich fudge filling.

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.

Top view of my peanut butter and chocolate cake. I absolutely love this flavour combination!

I had such a hankering for peanut butter and chocolate all week that I had to do something about it. So here's the result! 

Green Tea Lychee Naked Cake

Green Tea Lychee naked cake decorated in pastel colors for a rustic feel. I felt the half drip design complimented the whole *unfinished* look of the cake.

Top view of the cake. I usually lean towards bolder colors but these pastel shades are starting to grow on me.

Green Tea Chocolate Drip Cake

Channeling my inner Katherine Sabbath with a green tea chocolate drip cake decorated with white chocolate shards, meringues and a light sprinkling of gold luster dust.

Closer look at the decorations. Gold luster dust, when used in small amounts as a highlighter, gives off a soft, elegant glow.

It's a Boy

It's all about the boys this weekend.

Top and Bottom tier

Almond Mocha latte...moist sour cream pound cake filled with a velvety coffee mocha cream frosted with almond amaretto buttercream.

Middle tier

Raspberry Cream...rich white cake filled with a tart raspberry cream, frosted with a creamy vanilla buttercream.

Dark and Sophisticated 40th Birthday Cake

A masculine and elegant piece for Scott's 40th birthday. Love the contrast of the sugar orchids against the darkness and modern patterns of the cake.

Handcrafted, Sugar Moth Orchids. You better believe it took me several flowers to get it to look as real possible.

Dark and sophisticated.

Tall, Dark and Delicious

Tall, Dark & Delicious. Chocolate cake that's soaked in Milo and espresso is layered with salted caramel, hazelnut praline and chocolate buttercream. A dark chocolate ganache drip and salted caramel popcorn completes this handsome cake.

The caramel popcorn is homemade so I can control the level of sweetness. It looks just heavenly when drizzled with melted chocolate and salted caramel.

Art Nouveau Vase Birthday Cake

It's a birthday cake! Art Nouveau Vase made of strawberry cake with white chocolate ganache and gum-paste flowers.

1st Birthday

Kudos to this creative client of mine ! She out did herself again this year ! The entire space was transformed.

Finalizing details for one of my favs* sketching gets me so excited*

Friday ... Is Monday in Cakeland! Little Man Details.

Neapolitan...A layer each of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cakes filled with chocolate and strawberry cheesecake.

Green Tea, Lychee and Strawberry cake

Good morning! Thursday is infinitely brighter with a Green Tea, Lychee and Strawberry cake.

The beauty of this cake lies in the fact that the colors are all-natural. Green from the green tea, brilliant red from the strawberries and a pale pinkish white from the lychees.

Let's slice the cake.

Red Velvet

Red Velvet naked cake with cream cheese frosting, fondant flowers and dark chocolate lace. I always equate red velvet with flamenco dancers... exotic and flamboyant.

Red Velvet cake viewed from the side. I've never wanted to do red velvet cakes because of the insane amount of food coloring needed to turn a chocolate cake red. But this one haunted my dreams for a week! Glad to get it out of my system. Now I see the appeal of this cake - it's lovely to look at and photographs extremely well!

Layers of luscious red chocolate cake sandwiched between rich cream cheese frosting. A feast for the eyes, a treat for the palate.
