I recently had the honor of having my cake featured in a photo shoot by Spot N Photo! The cake is a 4 tiered wedding cake and the top most tiered was made using edible 23k silver! The third ruffle tiered was designed using Maggie Austin as an inspiration.I had a great time working with Pablo from Spot n Photo! Here are the images:
I recently designed an entire dessert table for a wedding. Part of the table included the Death Star groom's cake for a huge Star Wars fanatic. When I say huge, I mean HUGE! I was told he even dressed up as Han Solo for the couple's first dance!! Here is a picture of their wedding countdown:
I snapped pictures (unfortunately they are poor quality, I'm sorry!) during the process, so here is a small pictorial! But first, the final product:

"The centuries-old Armenian tradition agra hadig is celebrated worldwide by Armenians, no matter where they live -- Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, or the U.S. Agra means "tooth," and hadig refers to a traditionally cooked wheat dish eaten on this occasion. The agra hadig celebrates the appearance of the baby's first tooth. The mother props the infant up on a table or on the floor and places five objects in front of the child; the first object the baby selects 
Do you sometimes wonder how a business was discovered? What was it that set it off in a strong direction? There's always a special moment during the growth of a small business that helps set it apart from all the others. Mine was this cake, and its story has been long delayed.This blog gets personal...It's a rare insight that I choose to share with you.
Back in March, while I was working on a very complex cake, I received a phone call from a good friend of mine, Manya, asking if I could put 
As you know by now, I take pride in telling my customers that my cakes are completely customized to their wants and desires (as long as I approve of their flavor combinations. I once made the mistake of agreeing to raspberry jam with vanilla cake and almond frosting. I seriously gagged when I sampled the combination and called the customer and said I'm switching their flavor to something more palatable.Yes, I do that. Trust me, it's for the best). Well, this bride-to-be really took my customizing 
June was a very busy month, and one of the most adorable cakes I got to work on was a Winnie the Pooh themed cake for a baby shower! The mother-to-be was an ex-coworker of mine from my previous Engineering job, and she kindly asked me to make a cake for her shower since she always saw me posting pictures of my cakes online. Naturally, I said yes! I decided to also do a small candy table for her to go along with the cake. She was expecting 20 guests, and the colors of her party were blue and yellow.

Earlier this year, I got probably the coolest cake request ever! My customer said she was throwing a party for her son- it was to be a birthday party and a Baptism as well. They were expecting 150 guests, and she wanted a 5 tier Super Hero cake. She e-mailed me this picture and specified that she didn't want the Robin or the Aqua-man tier:
As soon as I saw this picture, I went a little nuts over how ridiculously AWESOME this cake was! I spent a long, long time searching the internet to try to 
As we all know, entering a new decade is a big deal, and 30s are no exception! Some of us love the thought of turning 30, the rest of us hate it! My customer was one of the ones who wasn't really looking forward to it, and she e-mailed me with a very funny request!
My customer informed me that she HATES bees, and since she had been running away from her 30s she thought it'd be funny to have a cake with 30 bees on it "chasing" her 30s! I loved the idea!!! This wasn't the first time I designed 
A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a previous client asking if I could please bake a Dr.Seuss cake for her friend's party? The request had a funny timing in my personal life, because I had just spent some time teasing a good friend of mine for not knowing who Dr.Seuss was! Within a day, I got the Dr.Seuss cake order request, and I was able to teach him more about Dr.Seuss! The more I spoke about the cake, the more I realized there were people who were completely clueless about Dr.Seuss,
