Cake Fiction

Our bride told us her husband to be was fan of all things sneakers and wanted a Grooms cake to reflect that! Apparently his favorite pair are the Adidas Superstar 86 "Uprock", which has a complex graffiti design. A lot of careful hand painting required to replicate the "Uprock" design, but I'm pleased to say I did it, and of course even the shoelaces are edible!


The black Adidas shoe box is made with chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling, while the sneaker is yellow vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling.

A couple came to visit me together, unusual for a Groom's cake. They wanted me to create a 
Labrador Groom's cake, a replica of their own pet Marley, for their celebration at the Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park NJ.

Inside is chocolate fudge cake with dulce de leche cream, covered in fondant and then painted with edible food spray to get the right color effect. The hardest part as always are the eyes, which I needed to shine and add life to the dog!

A cake that was a long time in the planning: the Groom was a drummer and wanted to showcase his passion, rather than display a traditional white wedding cake at the reception. So we designed a replica of his drum set complete with cymbals and the Muppet Animal in the background!

We baked chocolate fudge cake with amaretto moccha and salted caramel buttercream, plus lemon cake with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries. The front of the base drum had a Ying and Yang symbol, while on the reverse side we had the words "LOVE" in a font patented by one of his best friends.


All the drums and cymbals were carefully mounted on supports.

The reception was held at Harborside / Exchange Place on the Hudson River waterfront with fabulous views of Manhattan and Downtown New York.

A specialty birthday cake design with alternating layers of yellow vanilla cake and chocolate fudge cake, filled with Belgian chocolate cream.

We carved the cake into the shape of a Brooks Brothers shirt, matching tie and of course a box with hand painted logo! Delivered to Roots Steakhouse in Summit NJ.

Cake Fiction was honored last week to be asked to create a cake display to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Oreo. The display matches the special birthday logo developed by the Kraft creative team.

Two giant Oreos with chocolate fudge cake and Oreo cream filling are carefully decorated to look like the real cookie! Four cakes in the shape of balloons sit behind the cookies and they have the same flavor and filling combination.

We also made 350 chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and each topped with a real Oreo!

Delivered to the Kraft Corporate Headquarters at East Hanover NJ.

We were out tonight celebrating Valentines Day, and on the next table sat a glass of Guinness. It looked just like this chocolate fudge cake with dark Belgian chocolate cream filling that we delivered to a birthday party at the Liberty Tower in Jersey City NJ over the weekend. I think we got it just right!

Yummy, a blue buttercream Cookie Monster cake carved from yellow vanilla cake with dulce de leche cream. He is sitting on a round green fondant cake.

And we also included a few dozen chocolate fudge cake Cookie Monster cake pops. Delivered to the Children's Museum on Staten Island NY.

Just delivered a two tier blue and green fondant pillow Baby Shower cake for a party at Bonte in South Orange NJ. Red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean cream, continue as our customer's favorite combinations! We decorated the cake with baby toys, a bottle, rattle and building blocks. A baby is sleeping tranquil under a fondant blanket on top.

There never seems to be an end to the variety of cakes we are asked to create. Last weekend we sculpted a Striped Bass from chocolate fudge cake with Cannoli filling and Belgian chocolate chips. Delivered to a 30th birthday dinner for a fanatical fisherman at the Freemans Restaurant in the Lower East Side of New York City NY. When we walked in all the customers were pointing and trying to decide if this was a dish from the kitchens, or.... could it really be a cake?

Very excited every time one of our customers returns for a new birthday surprise! I made a chocolate fudge cake with Oreo cream filling carved into a ladybug. The red and black fondant creates a vibrant display.


We also baked and decorated individually wrapped cookie favors to match the cake.
Delivered to a 3rd birthday party at The Little Gym in Livingston NJ.

A two tier chocolate fudge cake with Belgian dark chocolate cream filling. Covered in blue and white fondant and decorated with sugar snowflakes. Delivered to a family Hannukah celebration in Chatham NJ.

What better for a two year old on his same day as Christmas birthday, than an Elmo bursting from a gift box wearing a Santa hat? Maybe if inside is perennial favorite chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling.

The white fondant gift box is tied with a green bow and decorated with Elmo's goldfish, crayons and musical notes.

For a Christmas Day party in Livingston NJ.

Just made this three tier cake for a bridal shower. It was so hard deciding on a flavor that our customer picked a medley of red velvet cake, chocolate sponge with yellow cake and chocolate fudge cake with a selection of cream cheese filling, dulce de leche cream filling and dark chocolate cream.

The white and multi-colored fondant cake is decorated with sugar flowers and butterflies, as well as a cute touch, forks and spoons around the base of each tier. Hello Kitty sits a top the cake with a pink fondant bow to match the others.

Times are tough, but lots of people are giving it a go and setting up their own business. So we were pleased to help celebrate a new business success. A proud family asked us to surprise their man with a Ford Box truck specialty cake modeled on his own plumber van. The fondant covered cake is Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache. We delivered it to a party in Verona NJ.

We just made this two tier cake for a birthday party in Bayonne NJ. The bottom tier has a white vanilla cake with passion fruit butter cream, and the top tier is chocolate fudge cake with chocolate raspberry cream.

I decorated the bottom tier with a red check design to match Woody's shirt. We sculpted fondant figurines with all our favorite Toy Story characters: Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, as well as the alien, Rex, the slinky dog, and not forgetting Mr and Mrs Potato Head!

We designed this nature theme cake for a birthday party at the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum in Short Hills NJ.

The bottom tier has chocolate fudge cake and Madagascar vanilla bean filling, the top tier is a white vanilla cake with dulce de leche cream. We sculpted a fondant squirrel with a bushy tail holding an acorn and a blue owl to match the invitations. Little birds and Belgian chocolate twigs complete the decoration.

We also made a dozen matching owl cookie favors with blue fondant.

We can't all own a fabulous sports car, but we can have a flashy cake!

This week we carved a fabulous red Porsche 911 cake out of chocolate fudge cake with cannoli filling and chunks of Belgian chocolate. The cake is covered in red and yellow fondant, with a racing livery, and personalized license plates for a second birthday party in Watchung NJ.

We made this Groom's cake for a sports addict, to appease his adoration of Chelsea FC, the Mets and NY Rangers. I stacked soccer ball, baseball and ice hockey puck cakes on top of a green fondant chocolate fudge cake with raspberry cream filling.

Ice shards made with isomalt stick out around the hockey puck. The figurine wearing his Adidas soccer shoes and his favorite number 11 Chelsea soccer jersey, with his initials and the Samsung logo on the front. We delivered the cake to a wedding rehearsal dinner at Arugula restaurant in South Orange NJ.

For the birthday party of a Dora the Explorer fan we made this two tier specialty fondant cake to deliver to Somerset NJ. The bottom tier is red velvet, cream cheese and white chocolate filling, and the top tier has chocolate fudge cake with Oreo cookie cream.

A waterfall cascades down the cake, a large gum paste palm tree and jungle foliage provide the perfect backdrop for a sculpted Dora the Explorer figurine and her sidekick Boots. You can't see it in this view, but the backpack of course has a great big smile!
