BEAUTY & THE BEAST

Fred and his girlfriend Laura are one of THEE cutest couples ever.  Celebrating their two year anniversary Fred wanted to have a sweet little something to commemorate their special day.  A very personalized cake he requested to have Beauty and The Beast figurines specifically wearing a football jersey & a cheer leading uniform, in USC colors.  The cake was decked in the iconic burgundy and gold, and topped with little fondant figurines just like Fred requested.  Piped 'Always & Forever' along the bottom and cut out fondant numbers for the date they began dating two years ago.  Fred told me how much he loved the cake when I delivered to him, and later when I got home I found out that Laura had loved it so much and was so surprised with the cake that she cried! News like that makes me love doing this ten times more than I already do :] Wishing all the best to Fred &Laura..can't wait to be creating your wedding cake in a few years!!

SOME MESSI INSPIRATION!

As a really SWEET gift to her friend Hugo, my friend Liz requested a special Birthday Cake for him.  What does he love? FUTBOL! And his All-Time favorite player is MESSI (of course). SO! for his birthday cake Liz gave me complete decorating freedom (my favorite!) to do with as I pleased.  I wanted to use the Futbol elements such as the field, iconic ball & of COURSE Messi's famous Jersey - but chose to personalize it with Hugo's name instead! Bright Fondant Lettering, Edible soccer ball & all the Color Contrast  made this cake really POP and she completely loved it!

FLAG FRENZY NEW YEAR!

Another order for my friend and coworker Jen, this custom cake was for her boyfriend.  She specifically wanted 'Something Sweet, & Strawberry" decorated with a Jamaican &London Flag saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR".  I wanted to pack the cake full of sweet strawberry flavor so I chose to make a sweet vanilla cake, and made homemade strawberry compote for the filling, with whipped vanilla frosting!

DO DO DO DO.. ALWAYS COCA COLA!

This Super fun custom cake was ordered from Jen, a darling coworker of mine for her Best Friend who apparently, is obsessed with Coca Cola.  She wanted just a very small cake for her, and was too thrilled when she asked if it would be possible to carve it into the shape of a can? Of Course Not!! I had a blast detailing the can of coke, hand rolling the iconic 'Coca Cola' label, creating the aluminum details and hand writing a quote on the back "A Can Of Coke For My Best Good Friend On Her Birthday". After I delivered her cake and received MUCH enthusiasm on how it turned out, Jen later told me just how much her best friend Mayra LOVED it!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

A dear friend &long time coworker of mine, the newly MRS. Diana Haight, was so kind to ask me to create her cake for her Big Day! Such an exciting new challenge being me first wedding cake order! We talked about her ideas for designs and she already had a photo for me of the color schemes and design she wanted me to use as inspiration.  I tweaked a little bit here and there but ultimate stayed rather close to the original design since thats what she had loved so much, and was able to construct my largest cake yet! She chose a three tiered design, each with a different flavor and filling - lots of baking and mixing bowls involved during the creation process, but the outcome was SO worth it!! I couldn't be more privileged to have been part of her special day, and cannot wait to create more dream cakes!

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!

A friend of mine and my husbands, Jair, was celebrating his brothers birthday that falls on Halloween.  So as a double celebration for both the Holiday & the Birthday, Jair needed a cake that would compliment both occasions! Going with a dark and spooky theme I used my painting technique to cover the cake in black, blue and purple streaks.  I cut silhouettes out of black fondant in the shapes of bats, a wolf, and a large spooky tree.  I created a large spiders web and an eerie spider ! I used a ghoulish font as well to cut red fondant letters for his brothers name 'OMAR' along side the cake.  It was so much fun creating a dark and ominous themed cake, as opposed to my typical cutsey designs, and they loved it which made it that much better !

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!
