Sweet Valentine Cake for Gabriella's 1st Birthday

Maryann, Gabriella, Benjamin and Francine.

I loved loved loved creating this cake for little Gabriella who celebrated her 1st birthday yesterday at Lenny's Clam Bar in Howard Beach.

The cake was a three tiered red velvet with cream cheese filling and Italian Merrengue Buttercream frosting under a buttercream flavored fondant.

The tier in the middle...the clear one was filled with heart shaped candies to be shared with guests.

Wishing Gabriella a Very Happy 1st Birthday.

Sportacus Comes to New York

So...what does a cake designer do when asked to make a character cake of a character/s she doesn't know?
Why get to the nearest computer and start researching! Or....the very next best thing? Find a child who can tell you everything there is to know of cartoon characters....and go from there!
For those of us who are somewhat out of the "cartoon/animated t.v. show" loop, here is the low down.
Sportacus, as one can tell is a health nut who is into sports and good sportsmanship along with his side kick Stephanie who live in Lazy Town. Robbie Rotten, a handsome devil, you should see the real life actor who plays this devilishly delightful character, has a mission....to get Sportacus to each super rich and fattening foods. He even attempts to get Sportacus to eat .....CAKE! I like him just for that! lol
What was the result of all this research...why a cake of course. I'm thinking that Robbie Rotten would have a field day with the cake we created for a very lucky little boy just a while back.
Happy 2nd Birthday Benjamin!!!
