Happy Valentine's Day

On this day of romance, I'm reminded of this very romantic wedding cake we made a couple of years ago. It's covered in buttercream and has all sorts of "love" words written on the sides, some in English and some in Italian (the bride's heritage).

Mango Cala Lilies

This is one of my favorite cakes, because it looks so darn delicious! It's covered in a dark chocolate ganache and adorned with mango-colored cala lilies that were hand-sculpted from sugar paste. We brush each flower with petal dust (edible) to give the flowers a life-like look. And isn't this a gorgeous photo? It was taken by the very talented Wendy Maclaurin Richardson, at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. You can see a hint of the San Francisco skyline.

Wedgewood Wedding Cake

This cake was inspired by the blue of Wedgewood China. It has an alternating hexagon and round shape and is covered with rolled fondant. At the base of the tiers is a hand-painted lace technique called brush embroidery.

Baptism Cake

We created this cake for a first communion, but it could easily be for baptism or christening cake.

This is one of our latest creations -- feel the luxurious texture of this cake decorated with an antique lace finish and accented in golds.

Red Sugar Roses

Nothing says "I love you" like the red rose. We recently created this 5-tiered wedding cake with fondant draping and hand-sculpted edible sugar roses. The bride's theme was red roses, so we made varying types of sugar roses in different sizes and colors to give it a natural look.

This 5 tiered cake is covered in buttercream and decorated with a fondant drape. Serves 250.

Princess Cake

For the little princess in your life. . .This princess crown cake has become one of our most popular cakes for little girls! The crown is hand sculpted out of sugarpaste and painted in an edible gold luster dust. Serves 40 people.

We often customize the colors for different clients. But the tag is always the same: for my princess! So darling. This one served 50.
