Lena's Sweet Baby Shower Cake and Mini Cakes

Lena's Baby Shower Cake

Lena's Baby Shower Cake and Mini Cakes
Memories of great times when our son's were playing high school and college football were brought back when Helene, Lena's mother in law and I were planning Lena's baby shower cake and mini cake favors.
You see Helene's son, John John and my son Terry played together for 8 years....and now....John John is going to be a dad and my son is getting married in August.
As we planned the design of the cakes and the beautiful tower display that my daughter Marilena created, we carried on as if it were yesterday when we were gettting ready to tailgate at one of our games at C.W.Post.
Together we laughed at memories of the antics our boys got into and tears of joy were shared as we talked about our families.
If you're wondering about the the flavors...well...hope you are sitting...or getting that virtual cup of coffee ready....it was a blackout chocolate cake with a light and airy italian merengue and nutella buttercream.
Delish!
My best wishes to Lena and John John. Can't wait to see the pics of baby when he/she comes.

Baby Einstein Cake and Cupcakes for Baby Bruce

Ahhh! I remember the days of young motherhood and how exciting it was to plan baby's first birthday! If only I knew about fondant and gumpaste back then! Oh the cakes we would have created!
This cake was designed for Baby Bruce who turned 1 today. His birthday party was held at Connolly's in Maspeth, New York.

Baby Bruce's cake had the sock puppet characters of Dragon....."blaaaahhhhh!" I love this character....Tiger....Ducky and hiding behind the center tier....Moo Cow. On top of the cupcake is "Worm" or is it "Caterpillar?" Cake was a red velvet with cream cheese frosting and cupcakes were my famous blackout chocolate cupcakes and creamy American buttercream frosting.

Happy Happy Birthday Baby Bruce!

Two Beautiful Cakes for Two Beautiful Brides to Be

These cakes were both shower cakes for two lovely young women. The top cake, a three tiered chocolate black out cake filled with an Italian Buttercream infused with vanilla and almond flavorings was created for Aphrodite. Aphrodite loves flowers. So we created this romantic cake with a modern twist of pearlizing the pink fondant and scoring the fondant to create the image of threads wrapped around each tier. The flowers...a fantasy magnolia and hydrangea petals.

The second cake you see was a cake for our Vicky. Vicky's cake was a red velvet cake with a light and airy buttercream also infused with a vanilla and almond flavoring.

Vicky loves Chanel and so we created this classic pink clutch purse with a cascading Chanel Scarf ala Sweet Alchemy by Amelia with white flowers adorning the side of the cake.

The warm and inviting atmosphere at Vicky's shower was ever so special. I know...because I was there! Vicky and my children grew up together. It was indeed a very special day. We are all so happy to have shared in this beautiful day and look forward to her wedding in June to her fiance...Nick. They make a beautiful couple.

Congratulations to both our brides. Aphrodite and Vicky. Best Wishes to you both.

You will both make beautiful brides.

Mardi Gras Themed Sweet Sixteen for Ciara

This lavendar and yellow Mardi Gras Sweet 16 Cake was created for a lovely young teen...Ciara who celebrated her special birthday yesterday in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.

Cake was a fabulous chocolate cake filled with canolli cream and a vanilla beany cake filled with milk chocolate ganache.

The masks (top and bottom) were my visions of Venetian Mardi Gras masks. The lavendar theme was the perfect contrast for the deep dark and rich colors of the the Mardi Gras themed deco's at her venue.

Happy Birthday Ciara.

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.
