Cake Fiction

A three tier wedding cake decorated with cascading magenta and white Cymbidium orchids. Also I piped on a snowflake design and added pearl dust to make them shimmer.
The cake sits on a square board covered in white fondant and supported on crystal feet.


The bottom tier has layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with white chocolate cream and raspberries. The second tier has almond and chocolate cake layers with dulce de leche cream. The third tier is chocolate fudge cake with amaretto moccha filling.

In addition, I made a Groom's Cake with the emblem of St Hugh's College at Oxford University, where the Groom studied. Inside is red velvet cake with cream cheese filling.


Both cakes were delivered to the Rock Spring Club in West Orange NJ for a snowy New Year's Eve reception with beautiful views of the New York City skyline.

Our friend Peggy Excell-Stone at Lotus Petals Floral Design in Maplewood created the table flower arrangements.

A square three tier wedding cake for a reception at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange NJ. The bride selected multiple flavor combinations: a lemon coconut cake with passion fruit cream filling, red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, and a straight coconut cake with key lime buttercream. The cake is covered in a purple fondant, decorated with brushed embroidery flowers and additionally with sugar Cymbidium orchids.

For a deserving graduate from Seton Hall University in NJ we created a two tier Graduation Cake decorated with yellow Cymbidium orchids, lavender and light pink Sweet Peas. The bottom tier is a red velvet cake with cream cheese and Callebaut white chocolate filling, then a top tier of walnut almond cake with dulce de leche buttercream. The fondant covered cake has a trim of purple rope drapes and yellow pearls.

A four tier white wedding cake decorated with handmade pink and white Cymbidium Orchid sugar flowers. The cake is surrounded on alternate tiers with a pair of fondant ribbons or fondant lace.

Our bride chose a color theme of ivory and light pink, and we made a sugar flower arrangement to match her bridal bouquet. White and fuschia colored Cymbidium orchids are placed on top of the cake, encircled by white callas. The Callas ere brushed with a dash of petal dust to bring out the pink and blend with the softer ivory color of the cake.

The cake was red velvet and cream cheese filling with lemon coconut cake and passion fruit curd filling on the other tiers. The ivory fondant is surrounded by a pink fondant ribbon and pink pearls. I delivered the cake to Scotch Plains NJ.
