This groom’s cake turned out so beautiful. This cake was to represent the stained glass in the church where the groom played the organ. When sitting at his organ he could see a beautiful Rose window. We then took elements of the organ that he played which was very old and incorporated them into the cake design. Some of the elements not shown here are the pipes, keys and the wood grain. We colored piping gel all the different colors ...

This cake was done using a toile stencil from www.designerstencils.com. I thought a hexagon cake would serve this cake well so that I could do a scene on each panel of the hex.

I love the regal blue color against a ...

This black and white themed cake is a great cake! It is simple yet elegant. The ribbons around the base of each layer were actually made using edible images from the bride and groom’s invitation. I just printed them on edible sugar sheets using a food color inkjet printer and wrapped the ribbons around the base of each layer.

All the black lines you see on the cake were piped free hand. The color of the window panes were color matched and cut ...

I just love styling cakes for brides. I believe it makes a huge difference in how the cake appears if you place it in the correct setting, lighting, and a thoughtful linen, etc.

This particular wedding reception was held in a beautiful stable so it seemed fitting ...

I always encourage my decorators to have input when we develop a new line of cakes each year. My lead decorator and very talented friend took my inspiration for incorporating birds in to this years line and came up with this Asian inspired cake with bold red pleats and hand painted birds and branches. I think this cake is beautiful and unique.

This is a beautiful buttercream flat basket-weave cake I did for a lovely June bride. I did the bow loops on top of the cake and the ribbons down the front of the cake out of gumpaste. I added a bit of meringue powder to the buttercream to help combat the humidity on that hot and humid June evening.
