The Artisan Kitchen: Looking Back At 2009

We have lots of pictures of the bakery, our staff, and yummy things that we make but I never seem to be able to share them so here is a favorite....our artisan loaves and sandwich breads on a cooling rack!



All of our breads are scaled, formed, slashed and packaged by hand. Our list of varieties ranges from cheddar onion dill to classic semolina sesame loaves.

Lemon Meringue Bombe: Birthday Cake Alternative

My aunt, a.k.a. The Artisan Kitchen Secretary, always has a wild blueberry with a hint of lemon in the filling for her birthday "cake". It honestly throws everyone off that she wants the cake baker to make her a pie.

However, this year she threw me for a loop when she said "Meri, I think I'd like something lemon for my birthday"--WOW I thought! Then, I remembered my last trip to California and the wonderful lemon meringue cake I had at the famed San Fran bakery Tartine.



So we recreated this tangy dessert which we will enjoy at the brand new Mezza Luna Restaurant this evening- check out our holiday menus on the website www.theartisankitchen.com for our new Lemon Bombe!

Two Happy Princesses

We received the most adorable pictures from a customer who ordered a cake for her two princesses- twins Sophie & Bella!



Their cake, featured a BIG pink crown with red accents wrapped around the entire cake. I love these cakes for little ones- first of all they have the appeal of a fondant cake without the fondant but they are totally adorable!

The cake flavor was altnerating layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with bakery style icing- yum!

50th Anniversary Classic Buttercream Design

We created this classically decorated buttercream cake for a 50th Wedding Anniversary. The decorations included buttercream sqags, rosettes and swirls reminiscent of the 1940's and 1950's. The topper, a beautiful display of ivy, white sugarpaste calla lillies, and pale green lily of the valley was made by hand.



One of my multi-talented employees, Melissa Bliss, took some fantastic photos while working yesterday morning, she is available for kid's parties, birthday, and small weddings and can be contacted by Email at: deliriumgirl@gmail.com

Seaside Classic in Little Compton Rhode Island

I always joke about how fortunate I am to be able to deliver beautiful cakes to beautiful vistas, each one is like a little vacation for me. From Southeastern Massachusetts, to Coastal Rhode Island to Cape Cod and the South Shore the views are fantastic. But beyond that- I love making cakes to match the views!



This classic cake with modern touches was delivered to a summer home on the Sakonnet River in Little Compton, Rhode Island. White and blue seasonal blossoms adorned the tables and this cake sat front and center on the buffet in front of the picture window. Cabbage roses handmade from sugarpaste sat atop the white fondant covered cake with a modern wave detail. We heard the bridal shower was a huge success and the ladies enjoyed the vanilla butter cake with vanilla Italian buttercream.

Twins Polka Dots Birthday Cake

We created these two birthday cakes for twins: a boy and a girl. One is a fan or chocolate cake, the other of vanilla. The mom who ordered the two cakes asked if they could match in style but have one in teals and blues and the other in girlie colors. Polka dots are a great design for all ages! The cakes were frosted in our Bakery Style Icing a much sweeter kid-friendly icing it is much much sweeter than our traditional Italian buttercream

Mod Blue Wave Cake for 50th Birthday

This 5oth Birthday Cake was created for a fisherman in New Bedford, his two children wanted something with a nautical theme but no an obvious nautical theme- so this mod design was it. Hand painted dark blue and silver deco patterns adorned the cake with overlays of blue waves.



This second cake was made specifically for candles to serve to the person of honor and was covered in marzpian.



We delivered this cake to The Sky Room at Hawthorne Place in New Bedford, am exquisitely restored mill, which has a great view of Buzzard's Bay and even out to the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard and Cuttyhunk.

Mickey Mouse Cookie Favors

We created these Mickey Mouse cookies to compliment a Baby Mickey Mouse Cake (I'll post it later on)for a baby shower at Kinsale Inn in Mattapoisett, MA. Each cookie is individually wrapped and tied with, in this case, blue wraphia. Our sugar cookies are soft in texture and are iced in royal icing. We have over 50 different shapes for cookies, or as in this case we hand did a custom drawing.

Laptop Computer Cake

We created this 3-D laptop computer cake for a 70th birthday party. The granddaughter of the birthday boy is from California and ordered the cake as a surprise for her grandfather who loves to play solitare on his new laptop!

We personalized this computer cake with a "PaPa" logo and we added a DVD player and inputs and a full keyboard. The screen included an "Incoming Message" from Danielle, "Happy Birthday Papa" with small envelopes and stars.

The cake flavor- his favorite- vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling.

A White Wedding Cake @ Kittansett Club Marion, MA

It isn't too often that a simply white wedding cake crosses our path at The Artisan Kitchen.

Our signature bow, tiny daisies, and a simply elegant crosshatch pattern covered this cake for a fabulous wedding at Kittansett Club on Buzzards Bay in Marion Massachusetts. The three-loop bow, made to look more casual (Margaret, the bride, called it "floppy") made quite a statement. The cake featured lemon cake with altnernating layers of raspberry marmalade and lemon buttercream filling.

Barn Cake

This barn cake was delivered to New Bedford, Massachusetts for a 3rd birthday party. Horses, ducks, cows and pigs were some of the animals living on the "edible farm". A fun fence surrounded the bottom cake, we hand shingled the roof in tiny fodant circles. A pile of hay, duck pond complete with reeds, and classic barn doors completed the design. The cake flavor was alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla.
