Amber

I really love the clean line and edgy colors of this wedding cake. When using dark colors a little says a lot. This bride chose a square cake in fondant with grey and black ribbons. At the base of each tier I used a garland sliver trim (not edible) to help keep the cost workable. The crystals down the front were hand strung on jewelry wire so the bride could use them in her home after the big day. As you can see it is fall in the Northeast and this couple was celebrating under white tents on a beautiful fall day.

Christening of Owen

Amanda (a bride in a previous post) was christening her first child. The cake for the celebration featured a paisley shape with a small round cake off set on the top. The calla lilies were gumpaste and the cross and pale blue draping were fondant.

Anniversary


This was a last minute order for an anniversary cake with bright flowers. I used Orchids, Hibiscus, and Hydrangea flowers made of gumpaste. The bows, tails and curls are made of fondant. The cake is covered in buttercream with a fondant ribbon around the base of each tier.

Dora and Boots


Twins celebrating their birthday each wanted Dora and Boots. One had a beach theme with cookie sand and seashells made of white chocolate dusted in luster dust. The second Dora and Boots was a picnic theme. Complete with a table cloth and foods made of marzipan.

King, Queen and Ace of Hearts


A lovely bride and mother asked me to create a cake for the groom.

The brides mother found this cake in a magazine using candy roll to cut all the pieces from and real playing cards for the top. After a great deal of consideration, she decided she had to many other things to prepare for the wedding, so she asked me to recreate the cake.

Gourmet Specialty's prides itself on everything being edible. The ribbon and card suites are cut from fondant. The playing cards were scanned then printed on icing sheets. The silver balls are edible pearls painted in silver luster dust. 

Summer sports
