Recent Cakes

Gosh, it's been a long time since I've posted, been pre-occupied with so many other things lately, sorry! Here are some pics of fave recent cakes from the past couple of months.

This cake was so lovely in person and looked fantastic against the rustic stone walls of the Bella Vita Ranch in Stephenville, TX. The bride loved the way the ruffle detail mimicked her dress.

Proving that simple is sometimes better, with stunning with fresh blossoms clustered around and pearlized fondant bands at the base of each tier. This cake was delivered to a magnificent private estate in Dallas.

This abstract design was perfectly at home in The Modern Art Museum.

For the groom with everything, this cake was a copy of Cody's custom cowboy boots.

One of the heaviest cakes I've ever made and one of the loveliest too. Elegant ivory on ivory with just a touch of subtle bling in the brooches.

For the groom who fancies hippos.

 Kate's wedding at Colonial Country Club was classic in every way, right down to the buttercream-iced cake with pearls and scroll piping.

Brittany's cake is one of my all-time faves, I nicknamed the design "Coco" because it reminds me of Coco Chanel.

Brittany's groom, Andy, is a boat man.

 

Ahhhh, The City Club ballroom, the room that seems to have been made just to show off cakes. This photo doesn't do justice to the space which has mirrors absolutely everywhere, and spectacular lighting too. I love the whimsical nature of this cake.

A retirement cake for an XTO Energy employee. Joy was the second person ever hired at XTO, more than 26 years ago. The cake is a replica of one of the XTO-owned buildings that she renovated to award-winning status.

3 Dimensional Sculpted White Tail Deer Groom's Cake

One of my all-time faves! I had such a blast creating this sculpted cake. This white tail deer was a first for me and I loved every minute working on him. I sculpted his antlers from white chocolate and his entire body is edible- fondant over buttercream, and yes, Red Velvet Cake! We delivered this groom's cake to the fabulous Ashton Depot in downtown Fort Worth. As you can see, I gave the big boy a goodbye "air kiss" before leaving him in his final resting place! Love!!

3-D Klutzy Skier Cake

LOVE doing cakes for these clients! This is the 5th we've done in the past year for these guys and I just love their sense of humor! Apparently the birthday boy isn't the most proficient skier, at least not yet. Gotta love a guy who can laugh at himself!

Inside is our very popular Chocolate Obsession Cake- classic chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate ganache- YUM!

3-D Stradivari Violin Cake

What a thrill to make a 3-dimensional cake based on the 300 year old Stradivari violin played by the Fort Worth Symphony concert director Michael Shih. Shih recently played the 1710 violin for the Upper School students and board members of Fort Worth Country Day School in honor of the violin's 300th birthday. I was absolutely beside myself when FWCD teacher Christine Derber retained me to create an edible version for guests to enjoy at the reception. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Some of Today's Cakes

We did this whimsical, yet masculine, 2-tiered cake for a VIP client of Chef Todd Phillip's at JR's Steakhouse. We loved the color palette on this one! Happy Birthday Ken!

Yep, another 3-D Crown Royal cake! Even with the cake themes that we repeat, we always make each one a bit different from the last. This bottle was on the large side, about 14 by 20 inches, so we laid it on a "bed" of red fondant that's draped to look like fabric.
Happy Birthday Cristina!

Horse Head Cake

This was a first for me. When I heard what the client wanted, I thought, "OMG it's going to be like that scene in The Godfather or something", but it came out really well. This was ordered by a pastry chef for her man's 38th birthday party.

Session Beer Bottle Cake

When Jessie first contacted us about doing a 30th birthday cake for her boyfriend Justin, it was supposed to be a surprise. Her excitement got the best of her and by the time her consult appointment rolled around Justin was in on it. Our cake consults are generally not "BYOB" but these two came prepared. Justin arrived with a bottle Session Lager (empty of course) and asked that we make him a 3-dimensional cake in its likeness. This cake, like the couple, was really fun. Here's what Jessie had to say after the party:

"Thank you so much for the FABULOUS job! The cake was so amazing, better then I even imagined! And Justin said it was the best birthday he has ever had!

We also decided that when I turn 25 next year that he is going to get me a cake from you! So I can't wait!

I can't thank you enough!"

-Jessie

Inside was our Brown Sugar Vanilla Cake filled with Caramel Cream and Caramel Buttercream. We sent extra Caramel Cream for the guests to have on the side. The party took place at Lili's Bistro on Magnolia.
