Firetruck Cake



This firetruck cake was created for a groom at the couples rehearsal dinner. It came complete with working head and tail lights, a lightbar and firetruck siren. The tires and embelishments were made with gumpaste, fondant, twizzlers and royal icing.
The cake is red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing. The bride and groom preferred buttercream to fondant, so I made the entire exterior with buttercream. This method is traditionally less smooth looking, but very yummy!

Keegan Gerhard


Ok, I know this picture is terrible (it was taken with my blackberry), but it is SO prized!
This is myself and Keegan Gerhard, the host of The Food Network Challenge. They host competitions for bakers all around the country. I met him at Disney's Party of the Senses, where I got to try his sinful chocolate dessert. He was an absolute delight to meet (very handsome as well), and very encouraging of my bakery business.... and said that he hopes to meet again when he is handing me a check for $10,000 (the first place prize on The Challenge).

Mah Jong Tile Cake


Mah Jong is an ancient Chinese tile game, similar to dominos. The client is a fanatic of the game so her husband wanted to give her larger than life Mah Jong Tiles for a birthday cake. We made 5 (9x13) cakes with all different flavors:
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing
White cake with an amaretto glaze and strawberry amaretto buttercream
Chocolate cake with a chocolate rum buttercream
Butter vanilla cake with an espresso buttercream
Red Velvet cake with a cream cheese buttercream
The images on the surface of the cake are made with rice paper and edible ink
""THE CAKE" was AMAZING. You did fantastic with taking the Mah Jong theme to the perfect level for Sharon. The cakes in so many flavors was a hit and each one was delicious. I gave your name to so many of our guests who I am certain will be selecting you to create a wonderful edible memory for their next special event. Many thanks for helping us to celebrate a milestone event in our lives. - Barry Jacobson"

Baby Boy's First Birthday Cake

Baby might not yet have a favorite flavor, so why not have both! First Birthday Cake has white and chocolate cake alternating layers and lots of buttercream. The mother wanted to capture the precious picture of the baby with cake all over their face. So we made a small car, similar to his favorite toy, be placed on top to entice him to grab at the cake.
