Cake#4: Vintage Ruffles, Celebrating Katherine & Zach's Vintage wedding, with SO much Style!!!

Peanut Brittle & Strawberry Mousseline Vanilla Sponge.

I asked my friend, and AMAZING photographer Jose Mesa Photography to shoot a few pics of the cake set up. This was quite challenging for me, because I'm usually beaten up after finishing a cake...I submited these pics to CakeCentral.com. They will be featuring my work (July 2014)
Is this your favorite of 2013?

Cake #5: Baby Blocks Safari, Welcoming baby Jenewein!

Red Raspberry & White Chocolate Sponge. Decoration made of White Chocolate.

Jenewein's grandma, Barbara, ordered this cake for Jenewein's baby shower. We designed this cake based on his nursery theme. Barbara (who I had never met in person) made it to my top 2013 fave clients. On EVERY correspondence, Barbara wrote the nicest words about my work, and made me feel like a TRUE rockstar.
Should this ake make it to my 2014 Cover?

Cake #6: Smashed Witch!!!

Chocolate Truffle with Vanilla Mousseline

Even Though this cake was not ordered by a client, it has been my most "Liked" cake to date.
This cake was presented on my first LIVE Fox 19 Demo. In 2013 I conducted a series of three decorating demos, that were LOTS of fun, QUITE nerve wracking, an INSANE amount of work, but LOTS of fun!
I'll be back to Fox19 in February, for a Valentines themed demo

Cake #7: Lego & Sweet Peas Wedding, Celebrating Min & Eric's Marriage!

BEST OF 2013 CONTEST
CAKE #7: LEGO & Sweet Peas Wedding, Celebrating Min & Eric's Marriage!
Orange Suzette & White Chocolate Sponge

One of my most praised cakes ever, for a wonderful, loving couple.
During their courtship, Eric would bring Min flowers, and Min would reciprocate with little LEGO sets (Eric is an Engineer).
To add to the challenge of this order, this cake was delivered during a winter storm!
It was such a joy working for them, and telling their story through cake!!!

Cake #8: Romantic Lace & Sugar Peonies, Celebrating the union of Megan and James! Celebrating their romantic, pure LOVE.

Red Raspberry & White Chocolate Mousseline, Vanilla Sponge.

I was beyond thrilled to work with this family. Every interaction with them was simple, pure joy. My daughter is still little, but every time I saw this Mom-Daughter team interact, all I could think of was: "This type of relationship is what I want!"

Cake #9: The Mercantile Library Bowtie, Celebrating the kickoff of their fundraising campaign!

Sweet Apricots & Toasted Almonds Sponge.

This cake was SO much fun to make. It was ordered by a past bride for whom I have made additional cakes. This fundraising effort, was done via bowtie cause, and designed by Dahani Jones!
I love everything about this cake, specially the white chocolate "paper tissue"
It is ALWAYS a pleasure working for this client, who truly makes me feel like the best baker/designer of all!

Cake #10: Madmen Party, Celebrating Peter's Birthday with so much style!

Orange Suzette & White Chocolate Sponge.

I had a blast making this cake. It was a true challenge to create these realistic/edible decorations! 
My first favorite was the briefcase texture, using Confetti Cakes's crocodile texture mat (a cake decorators must), and second, the pocket watch replica I made for the client. My edible ink printer came up handy while making this cake!
