Gary and Heather's Wedding Cake

This was our first Wedding cake. My (Dawn's) brother and Heather were getting married on the beach in Stone Harbor, NJ. They rented a house for the week there and all of their closest family members. It was awesome having my brother and husband helping me tort, filling and cover the cakes. 

 The top tier is white cake with raspberry chambord filling and white chocolate buttercream. Middle tier is Dark chocolate with raspberry chambord and chocolate mouse and the bottom tier is a french vanilla with raspberry chambord with white chocolate buttercream....The cake was delicious..... 

 I made the Cala Lilies with white gum paste and dusted with yellow shimmer powder on the inside of the flower.

I covered the cake with scrolls using royal icing and adding silver dragees at the end of each. My sister-in-law bought this silver wire ribbon to put around the bottom of the cake tiers. The M on the top of the cake is a sterling silver M that Heather and Gary bought for their cake topper. To add an added touch I sprayed Shimmer pray onto the cake. Everyone LOVED the cake...I was very proud.

Baby Minnie Mouse Cake

This cake was soo much fun to make.  The bottom tier was a vanilla/chocolate marble cake with a chocolate mousse filling which we covered in pink fondant and then appiled white polka dots.  The middle tier was a red velvet with cream cheese icing filling which we covered in white fondant and then applied royal icing dots with silver dragees.  The name was a cut out of Disney-like lettering.  The top tier was a vanilla cake with a raspberry filling which was then covered in white fondant and then we applied strips of hot pink, light pink, white and orange.  The border was royal icing dots around all tiers.  Finally, we cut out Minnie mouse ears which we topped the cake with for a finishing touch.

Tinkerbell Tree Cake

      This beautiful cake was for adorable Cieara's 5th birthday.  At first, we were a little anxious that it was so much but we just jumped in and challenged yourselves.  The cake was a vanilla & chocolate marble that was filled with alternating layers of a chocolate buttercream and cannoli filling.  The cake looked wonderful.  After covering the cake in fondant, the center was cut out so we could place a pillar covered with rice krispy treats in, that was to make the tree stable in the cake. 

      We then sprayed pink, purple and blue colors on the fondant so the cake could have a colorful, playful look.  Little pink, blue and purple flowers were added to the cake.  After rolling brown fondant logs, we affixed them to the column.  We saw the cake coming together so nicely.  Once the tree bark was finished, we hand painted brown streaks on the tree to give it a realistic feel to the bark.  We cut out blades of grass which we applied around the bottom. 

      The top of the tree was a round mound of vanilla cake that was iced and cover with assorted sizes of leaves and pretty flowers.  Thanks to Marcelo for help with the leaves.  We hung 2 fairies so they could appear to fly and we placed 2 by the tree.  The finishing touches were the tinkerbell candle on top and the cute purple flower candles around the base.  Then finally, we added some pearl dust to the leaves and grass so the cake had a magical feel.

Coheed & Cambria Birthday Cake

      This cake was for Dawn's husband, Marcelo.  A 30th birthday cake.  The symbol is for his favorite band, Coheed & Cambria.  The bottom tier was a delicious vanilla cake that we filled with dulce de leche.  Sooo good!!!  The top tier was a vanilla & chocolate marble cake with an amazing cannoli filling. 

      After covering the cake with black fondant, we cut out fondant letters and stars for decoration on the cake.  Then we piped a white star border around both tiers.  Finally, the whimsical star candles and the black & white candles finished off the festive look. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
