SUPERHERO PARTY

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be asked to make a cake for a little boy's baptism. In the Greek culture Baptism's are a big event and this little boys was no exception. The party was held at the royalregencyhotelny.com in Yonkers. The family opted for a Superhero themed party and no expense was spared. The tables were decorated in royal blue linens, with chair covers tied with red bows. The floral centerpieces consisted of red, white and blue flowers with different Superhero signs to depict where the guests would be sitting.
The cake was a three tiered cake consisting of a 12", 9" and 6" tiers. The cakes were chocolate and vanilla cake with oreo cookies n cream filling for one tier, chocolate for another, and vanilla chip for the third.


The customer also wanted additional cupcakes on the cake table, so I created these smaller versions using styrofoam circles. I created in Photoshop a red and white stripe print, blue with white stars and circle star print which I pinned to the styrofoam to dress it up. The cupcakes were then added all around the top and bottom tiers. The "P" was representive of the little boys name.

She also wanted a SuperHero cupcake tower consisting of 125 cupcakes in red, blue, yellow and green frosting.
I wanted to dress up the cupcake tower so I downloaded some Superhero blurb images and adhered them to cardstock. Then I cut them out to shape and taped them to floral wire. I looped the wire and stuck them into the cupcakes. The tower looked amazing due to the array of colors.

Black and White Wedding Cake

The month of May is here and the parties are in full swing!! I had to pull off a wedding cake, Communion cake and Communion Dessert Table, all before Mother's Day! I guess a relaxing Mother's Day weekend doesnt apply to bakers! LOL

A dear friend wanted to provide the wedding cake for her niece's wedding in Pennsylvania. I made this three tiered cake for her with vanilla cake and vanilla chip buttercream filling. The cake was covered in white fondant with black lace and rhinestone ribbon trim. The flowers on top are gumpaste roses purchased from my favorite cake supply store http://www.nycake.com

Communion Dessert Table

My niece's Communion was this past weekend and I wanted to do something special for her party.

I started with a cupcake tower decorated with 50 cupcakes in various flavors and topped with fondant circles with chocolate piped cross. The table was embellished with brown and pink candy and desserts to compliment the cupcakes. I decorated the cake topper in a cherry blossom theme to pick up the pink and brown colors. I love a dessert table with a combination of candy and treats. This one featured chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallow pops, taffy, lollipops, candy sticks and chocolate and strawberry malt balls. I trimmed all the glass jars with pink and brown pindot gros grain ribbon. Hershey bars were included as favors that were wrapped in personalized wrappers in honor of the Communion girl.

April 28 thru May 1st

So this past weekend may have been my craziest ever! With a PTA social benefit on Thursday and two cakes and a cupcake tower to finish for Saturday, I may have over extended myself a bit! It began with a Nerf Cake designed for a little boy turning 7. I had googled Nerf cakes but wasn't thrilled with some of the stuff I found. I really didnt like the idea of a cake shaped like a gun for a little boy. I settled with making a small Nerf gun out of rice cripsy treats to add to the top of the cake and I did like the dart and bullet mark too. I was happy with the finished product and most importantly so was Georgie!!

Saturday morning began with me running in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in Central Park. A group of us from work got together at 7:30 am for a great cause and I ran the 5k in under 30 minutes so that made my day.
GIRLS COMMUNION CAKE

Now its 12:00 pm and I need to finish up a Communion Cake to deliver by 2. Oh and did I forget to mention that I had my cousins wedding that evening too!! So cake is done and delivery is made, now maybe I can make the cocktail hour on time.....LOLvanilla two tiered cake (8" and 6") with marshmallow buttercream filling

COMMUNION GIRL CUPCAKE TOWER

40 vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with pink and white buttercream frosting

Yo Gabba Gabba Cupcake Tower
So my latest order is for an adorable little girl Gianna who is turning two! I had the pleasure of doing her first birthday cake last year and the time went by so fast that here we are again celebrating her second birthday. Mom told me her favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba, but I have to tell you there is not much out there in this theme. I googled for hours in search of a cute cupcake tower but couldnt find any I liked. I settled for working with the colors from the show and frosted all 25 cupcakes in the colors of the characters. Cake was decorated with fondant flowers and the birthday girls name in front. All in all, I think it came out adorable...hope the birthday girl likes it!!

Engagement Party Dessert Table

Ok, so I have been baking for a year now and had to get started on a website for people who are not on Facebook to see my stuff! So here it goes....

This weekend was the craziest weekend I have had yet! Four orders, three kids, two soccer games equals ONE burnt out mom. The weekend consisted of three cupcake tower orders and ended with an Engagement cake with dessert table. My sister-in-law and I put together a fabulous dessert table for the happy couple that worked around the cake. We matched the purple and lavender colors and selected items to compliment the cake on the table. We have a variety of jars and table linens to compliment the theme of your party. I think the final result came out beautifully!
