Pink Diamond Sweet 16 Cake

The cake seen around the world!  That's what I was calling this one when I was doing it.  It has over 500 individual diamonds and pearls on it.  When a light hit it, this cake shone like crazy.

The designs were made with stencils, which I then covered with diamonds and pearls.  It took hours and hours and hours, but it was so worth it in the end.  The sides were then given a 'cushion' look, without the actually cushion effect, by putting diamonds where the 'cushion' would have been.  Confusing... I know!  

The fondant on the cake goes from darker to lighter pink.  It gave it a cool look to the eye.  The cake was then topped with a bow that matched the darkest pink to tie it all together.

So, what do we think?!  Let me know in the comments below!

Fun Topsy Turvy 60th Birthday Cake

This was my first cake done for a stranger!  Ahhhhhh!  I received an e-mail from a very crazy man who is still madly in love with his 'wifey'.  He wanted to surprise her with a birthday cake while vacationing on Long Island.  He told me that his wife wasn't too happy about turning 60, so I decided to come up with a fun design, rather than an older feeling design.  The cake itself is super tiny, being that it was only for 2 people.  The cakes are an 8", 6" and 4" stacked.  Each layer was decorated differently, one with diamonds, one with zebra and one with stripes.  Roses, stars and diamonds were added to make it feel even younger.  This turned out to be one of my favorite cakes.

Oh, and you guys should check out the reviews for the Allegria hotel on TripAdvisor.com!  My customer was so happy with the cake, he even mentioned me in his hotel review!!!

For your entertainment, a picture of me with the cake!
Isn't it so cute?!

My Niece's Winter Wonderland Sweet 16 Cake!

My niece had her Sweet 16 January 13th and of course her aunt had to make her cake!  I was so busy helping my sister plan that everything for the cake fell into last minute!  The party started at 7:30pm and I was literally putting on the last snowflake at 7:41pm!  Lets just say I missed cocktail hour.

The 'C' and snowflakes are made of gumpaste.  The cake itself is covered in white fondant which was coated with pearl shine and some glitter.  The top tier was decorated with a snowflake press made by Duff.  (Not too pleased with how it came out.)  The middle tier is plain white and the bottom tier has a cushion type design to it. Although you can't tell from the picture, each snowflake is unique and some had a pearl shine or glitter or are kept plain to give it a depth.

I'm upset that I had to rush the cake, but I was pretty pleased with it in the end.  What do you think?

This cake was made for a first birthday with a Disney Princess theme.  Everything is edible except for the crown on the top.  It consists of 14", 8" and 6" cakes stacked then decorated.  The border along the bottom is made of individual flowers which were placed alternating.
