Happy Birthday Francesca!

This is a Birthday Cake for one of my best client's. She requested Red Velvet Cake to serve 20 people and then told me that I could design her Birthday Cake ANY WAY I WANTED! Now that's a cake I can get REALLY excited about.


I decided to do a design in black, white, and red that was sharp and crisp. Because that's how I see her. The design on the side of the cake was painted freehand. The red roses are made from gumpaste, as are the rose petals, and the leaves. The black on the top of the cake is piped in buttercream.

Happy Birthday Francesca!

Teal Topsy Turvy Sweet Sixteen Cake

I'm really enjoying all these pretty, sparkly, and girly cakes lately! This one is more of a sparkly, grown up, girly cake than all the pink and flowery cakes I've done lately. But it shouts GIRL all the way!

The colors are Teal, Black, and White. Teal edible gems were made to accent and the stars and bow are dusted with a little clear blue disco dust (I LOVE that stuff).


The Event was held at Jeffersonville Golf Club.

Black and White Birthday Cake

The director of my son's pre-school orders a cake for the Birthday's of her staff members. So on Tuesday's when they have a staff meeting, whoever has a Birthday that week, gets a cake. It's a fantastic way to show her staff how important they are and not overlook their important days.

We decided on 9" cakes because they are big enough to enjoy at the staff meeting and the Birthday Girl can bring the leftovers home for her family.

Today is Happy Birthday to Miss Jean. I wanted to do kind of "funky cool" because that's the way she is. Nothing too frilly but festive at the same time. I think Black and White works well for this occasion.
