Pink & Ivory Old Fashioned @ Coonamessett Inn, Falmouth, Massachusetts

This three tiered ivory fondant wedding cake has an old fashioned charm that was just gorgeous. A two and a half inch ivory sugarpaste ribbons wraps each tier and has been hand piped with tiny dots of royal icing and then individually painted in gold leaf. A strand of gold beads finishes the look at the base of each tier. Ivory sugarpaste tea roses were used a a topped, they are dusted in pink pink and salmon just on the edges for a simple highlight. Small groups cascade down the side and onto the gold board which really creates a stunning and elegant cake.

We delivered this wedding cake to the gorgeous Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The cake flavor included Red Velvet with Vanilla Buttercream.

Whimsical & Sculpted: First Flowery Birthday

This two tiered cake was created for a first birthday party in Taunton Massachusetts. We created large daisies on tall stems and fun flowers buds to create a neat 3-d design! The two tiers were decorated with polka dots and stripes in lime green, kelly green, hot pink, and dark chocolate brown.

A three dimensional "1" stands on top of the top tier for the birthday girl!



We delivered this cake to a private residence in Kingston, Massachusetts

Three tiered whimsical cake with lots of candy and bright primary colors.

Whimsical & Sculpted: Tea Pot Cake

We created this fun and whimsical tea pot cake for a little girls tea party! Bright colors or hot pink, royal blue, kelly green, and pearl white were the colors of the day.

Tiny flowers filled the tea pot on tiny stems with green leaves. Squiggly pearls jump out from the cake as well!

We included the inscription on the side of the cake and a string of pearls makes the perfect finish at the base of each tier.



We delivered this cake to Marion, Massachusetts.

Wedding Cupcakes @ Independence Harbor, Assonet, Massachusetts

Wedding cupcakes are little cakes meant to be eaten, this is not to be said that cake is not to be eaten, but for some reason cupcakes scream, "Eat Me!" which is why I really prefer them for any wedding!

These little cakes inluded toppers of hand made sugarpaste calla lillies colored individually in fall tones: cranberry, orange burst, and ivory.



Flavors included: lemon cake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream. We included three distinct toppers to indicate to guests the different flavors. One the cake table we included a card this reads...."Vanilla butter cupcakes with chocolate ganache buttercream, white calla lilly" and so on.

Anniversary Cake @ Hawthorne Country Club

This two tiered 40th Anniversary cake was created for a party held at the Hawthorne Country Club in Dartmouth Massachusetts. Simple piping and a dark chocolate brown beaded border give this cake a twist from the traditional white anniversary cake. Fresh blossoms: orchids, roses, and lillies create a autumn floral display on the top and in small groupings.



The cake flavor included alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate cake with raspberry marmalade filling and vanilla buttercream frosting.
