THE BRADY BUNCH

As first time customer, recommended by her son, a very very good friend of mine named Casey, Jan came to me with a request for a special 50th birthday cake for her sister in law.  Celebrating such a memorable milestone as a 50th birthday is first of all, a huge honor for me! And second, a celebration worthy of highlighting the life you have thus far lived, and all the wonderful memories it holds! Jan had the great idea of theming the cake after some of her sister in laws favorite Tv shows growing up such as Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, I Love Lucy & so on.  Ultimately we decided on just one; the iconic Brady Bunch! I wanted to create something a little less typical than your average cake, so instead of baking just a basic shape I custom carved Jan's cake into a miniature television displaying 'The Brady Bunch' Logo, 'wood streaked' food coloring painting, complete with fondant antenna & all of the Iconic Faces of the Brady Bunch Family along the front - all on top of a custom built wooden 'tv stand' to display the cake on!  The unique creativity that I got to use while designing this cake with Jan was SO much fun, I couldn't be more pleased.

A LOT OF NEON LOVIN'

As a present for her Best Friend, my coworker Liz asked for a cake that was SUPER Bright and Bold, completely decked out in animal print, her besties favorite! She had to have their quote on there "You're the Best..BIBLE". Out of all the animal prints I chose leopard, kind of sticking to Liz's previous cake that I had baked, making the cake Leopard Print on the INSIDE (so, so cool).  Cutting individual Leopard Spots took a Much longer time than I had anticipated but the result was completely worth it.  I dusted each of the spots in Gold Luster Dust, and rolled the rest of the bright Neon Pink fondant to hand script her quote.  When everything came together I had created Exactly what I had imagined for her, and her and her best friend both Loved it!

AHOY CAPTAIN!

One of the FUNNEST cake that I've been lucky enough to design and create so far, this was for a friends birthday celebration that was none other than a 'yacht club' theme.  Erick, the birthday boy made it a point to warn us ahead of time that no one but him was allowed to wear a captains hat that day because it was HIS birthday, SO I decided to incorporate it as the top layer on his cake!  Twisted fondant ropes, the number '26', flags draped across with his name, nautical stripes complete with an Edible Fondant Anchor and Steering Wheel on the back, this cake couldn't be anymore nautical if it tried! The best part? He had no idea he was even getting a cake that day ! One of his friends took a wonderful picture of the Birthday Captain & his Captain Hat Cake right before he blew out his sparklers that I shared below!

QUEEN 'C'!

Another order for his girlfriend, Oscar asked me to make a small dainty cake to celebrate her 22nd birthday.  More than happy to oblige, we discussed her favorite colors, flavors, and likes to come up with her design.  Christina is such a sweet girl and has an elegant poise about her! In attempt to capture that I wanted to do something regal (especially since she IS a princess on her Birthday) and came up with her initial adorned with a large glitter crown with sugar pearls.  The cake was a light peach color to compliment the gold crown and was decorated all around the sides with two different shades of yellow daisies; her favorite flower.  Also with her personal cake was an order of Tres Leches Cupcakes that I was told were completely Devoured!
