Metallic Cake : Brides Nov. 2012

A metallic cake created for the November 2012 issue of Brides Magazine.

Gingerbread Skyscrapers

This weekend, I had the opportunity to create a gingerbread display for the New York Botanical Garden's Gingerbread Adventure which is being held in conjunction with the Holiday Train Show.  I was introduced to this opportunity by the fabulous Kate Sullivan of Cake Power.  She's been creating awesome displays for years!  Visit the gardens this winter to check out all the baker's creations.

Here are some process shots:  It all started with a sketch...

I made trees by covering inverted sugar cones with sanding sugar.

Silver and Pearl Cake

Here is a 4 tier cake that we made for a wedding at the St. Regis.  The square tiers were cascaded with hundreds of little circles that were individually cut out, curved, piped and painted.  Here's a few pictures during the process.  A personalized monogram of the couple was the perfect accent to complete it.

Sage Green Ribbon Cake

Here's a look at a cake we made for a wedding at Sudio 450.  It's decorated with a sage green gumpaste ribbon that has been scored with cris-crossing lines and royal icing dots that were painted gold.  Flowers were from Unique Image Design.

Bottega Louie

I went to Los Angeles a few months ago and met up with a high school friend that I haven't seen in years!  We met at the ultimate sugar dreamland,  Bottega Louie.  All the pastries looked picture perfect and tasted just as great.  It a huge space with seated dining in the back, but all I wanted to stare at were the desserts in the front :)  I had box of assorted French macarons and a key lime tart... yum!
