This cake was inspired be a very simple wedding invitation that had shimmery lines and a satin bow.  We recreated this look by simply airbrushing the buttercream.  The addition of cake pops made for a beautiful display.

Gumpaste Flowers are an art form.  It takes countless hours of detailed hand-crafting to construct a flower so life-like many people wonder, “Is that real?”  To get the look just right we take the real flower and de-construct it, petal by petal. Here is the beginning of some beautiful Orange Gerber Daisies…

The flowers really added some beautiful color to an elegant cake that just started with subtle hand-pipped scrolling.  Complete with a tree stump stand, the finished product was perfect for a traditional yet rustic reception.

Who’s That Puffing Down the Track? It’s Thomas!  This adorable steam engine was the perfect centerpiece to a two-year old’s birthday cake and was so much fun to hand-craft!  We even replaced Thomas’ signature number 1 on the engine to a number 2, reflecting the child’s age.

With summer drawing to a quick end, it’s fun to remember some designs that kept with the spirit of the season. This shabby-chic bride wanted an earthly but airy feel to her August wedding, hence the pinwheel theme.  Dozens of hand-crafted pinwheels not only accented their topsy-turvy cake, but were decor of the reception as well!   The concept was such a neat alternative to florals and created a romantic yet eccentric atmosphere.  We loved collaborating with this creative couple who put a unique “spin” on a traditional concept.

I love this stunning color combination of navy blue and fuchsia.  Just a touch of the accent color can really make the cake come to life.  This cake gets it’s modern look from combining different height tiers with varying patterns.
