Scrabble Board Groom's Cake


A bride came to me wanting to surprise her husband to be with Groom's Cake in the form of a Scrabble Board, his favorite game. An interesting touch, inside half is almond pound cake with amaretto moccha filling and the other half is apple cake with praline buttercream. I especially liked how the bride selected a series of words to reflect his interests. Served at a wedding rehearsal dinner in Woodbridge NJ.

Quilted Wedding Cake with Diamond Studs


I made this three tier fondant wedding cake finished off with a two ring silver cake topper that the bride and groom chose.

The two round tiers have a diamond quilting pattern with tiny edible diamond studs, while the hexagon middle tier has a blue monogram piped with royal icing.

A fondant ribbon surrounds the base of each tier, and I lightly dusted it with pearl dust to give a slight sheen.




We baked a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and almond pound cake with dulce de leche cream filling.

Delivered the cake to the Titanic Restaurant in the Ironbound district.

Mosaic Wedding Cake Inspired by Gaudi


Our bridal couple were crazy about Barcelona and in particular fascinated by the architecture and designs of Antoni Gaudí in Park Güell. So I designed for them a four tier wedding cake with a swirling mosaic pattern.


Inside are layers of almond pound cake with amaretto moccha filling and covered in an eggshell color fondant. The cake is then decorated with cut out shapes of fondant in shades of pink and purple, with other pieces forming a ribbon around each tier in shades of blue and turquoise.


We delivered the cake to the Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange NJ

Chrysler Building Cake


I was asked to make a skyscraper cake in the form of the Chrysler building for a joint birthday party in New York City. Two lights are on in the building with the cleaning ladies inside tidying up!

Our customers are also fans of their Audi cars, so we incorporated those modeled from sugar paste, along with two dancing 2D figurines. The cake is constructed with mixed tiers of yellow vanilla cake and Madagascar vanilla bean filling, as well as almond pound cake with passion fruit cream filling.

New Yankee Stadium Retirement Cake


The honoree of a retirement party at the Imperia on Easton in Somerset NJ was a New York Yankees fan, so nothing less than a cake replica of the New Yankee Stadium was a fitting celebration of his 17 years service.

The almond pound cake has a chocolate raspberry filling. The cake is carved to scale, it includes advertising with a batting Derek Jeter on the main screen, the Yankees logo at the main entrance gate. The stadium is full with fondant Yankee fans.

This cake was so large that we needed to take it out through a window!
