"Kit Kat" Kake

Calling all chocolate lovers! This was a chocolate cake, with vanilla wafers in between so when they ate the cake it seemed more like a rael Kit Kat. It was covered in red colored fondant and had crimped edges for a real candy bar wrapper feel. On top I iced the Kit Kat logo and Happy Birthday. In the corner of the cake I carved it out to look like someone had taken a bit out of the bar. Around the board I scattered some other candies like M&Ms, Kisses, Laffy Taffy and others. What a great candy cake!!!!!

New Baking Form-So Fun!!!!!

I just got this new baking form as a present and wanted to try it out. The forms are made of an oven-proof rubbery material so when the cake comes out of the oven you can peel the form off the cake. This cake was just for fun but it's so cool. I can make tiered cakes without have to cut them to size. I made this for a spontaneous get together and surrounded the tiered present with cupcakes. Then, I quickly iced everything and added sprinkles.

Sara's "7th

 

This was a number "7" cake for Sara's seventh birthday. She wanted a chocolate cake in the shape of a seven with white frosting and balloons.

Cherry Cake for Jaime

I made this cake for a girl who goes crazy for cherries. So not only did I make the cake in the shape of a cherry but if you look closely you'll see the I decorated the cake with cherries on top. I carved cake to look like the stems and make it seem like the cherries are attached.

Duggie Loves Roses

This cake is made from a moist and rich Devil's food chocolate cake recipe. I covered the cake with white fondant and added small, medium and large elegant pink roses. I added a sweet touch with beautiful little green petals on opposite sides of the rose. Around the two layers I put small white dots to finish off the cakes. On the bottom layer of the cake I wrote Happy Birthday Duggie!!!!

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere

On this cake I was trying to perfect my flower design. You'll see several different varieties including roses, pansies and some generic looking flowers. I also added the leaves for some realism. The sides of the tiers have some piping design. The Cake Boss makes it look very easy and it's NOT!!! All I can say is practice, practice, practice.............

Camoflouge Fondant Cake

I made this cake for a W.W.II nut , who always wears army shorts even in the dead of winter. I covered this cake in fondant that I colored to look like camoflouge. On top I made a dog tag out of gray colored fondant and made little balls to look like the chain. He went nuts when he saw this.

Mollie Gets Blessed

This cake was to celebrate the gathering of a group of women to share their thoughts and good wishes at a "Blessing Circle". I wanted to make the cake colorful and tried to keep all the shapes rounded to keep in line with the circle theme. Mollie loves chocolate so I placed all the lettering on a chocolate square.

Halloween Birthday Cat

Not sure whether it's lucky or not to have a birthday on Halloween but Moreen loves cats so her birthday cake had a "Black Cat". Talk about a "treat", there was no trick to this cake.

Peace, Love & Happiness

This world cake is a vanilla globe I was able to fashion by layering cakes and then carving them into the globe. I frosted in the "World" in blue to replicate the oceans and used copper fondant for the continents. All seven continents are on the globe. It "floates" on top of a dark blue rectangular cake that looked like outer space. I made this cake for a Bat-Mitzvah. The meaning of this cake was world peace. I wrote in two different languages, Hebrew and English.

Artist's Palette & Paintbrush

 

This was a welcome cake for an artist who was visiting New York. In keeping with the artist's theme I carved the cakes into the shape of a palette and paint brush. I added colors to the palette to simulate the paints and added color to the tip of the brush to make is seem like there was paint on it.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

This was for a wonderful couple who celebrated their "50th" wedding anniversary. I frosted this cake in white and brushed it with "Gold" pearl dust which seemed most appropriate for this anniversary. I made champagne glasses from fondant and brushed those with "Gold" pearl dust as well. I placed them at the bottom of the cake so they could toast their special day.

Baking with Friends

This was SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!! As a young baker I was given the chance to review this book before it was printed and the authors included my review in the printed edition. 
I'm published now!! 
The book has great recipes that even little kids can make. The authors were autographing their book at Book Expo America and asked me to bake some of the recipes in the book and hand out samples. That's me with one of the authors and the book's publicist, Pam Atherton. It was so much fun handing out sweet treats  (and missing a day of school).

Roses, Roses, Roses

This cake is made from a dark chocolate devils food batter. It was covered with light pink fondant and beautiful pink and white roses around the sides. On either side of the roses I out a small green petal made out of fondant as well. On top of the cake I wrote "Happy Birthday Irene".

Circles and Dots

This cake was wrapped in white fondant and inspired by the paper plates used at the party. I made the circles on circles just like on the plate and added little white dots with icing. I've included a picture of the plate so you can decide for yourself how close I got.

Sam's an Islander Girl

 

Sam is a skating teacher at Iceland where I train and skate. She's also an "Islander Girl". You know, she skates on the ice during timeouts and stuff like that, sometimes she throws t-shirts into the crowd and gives away other stuff. When I found out it was her birthday and my skating teacher wanted to get her a cake to celebrate we couldn't think of anything better than the "Islander" logo.  My Ranger-loving brother won't forgive me for making an Islander cake.....but who cares. 

Happy Birthday Sam!!!!!!!

I love this cake but still root for the Rangers whenever they play the Islanders!!

RanKees-Yangers!!!!

 

Josh and Max share a birthday, were born in the same hospital and have gone to school together since kindergarten. They're best friends and treat each other like brothers from other mothers. Josh lives for the Yankees and Max (a Met lover) bleeds Rangers' blue. Max and Josh celebrated their 16th birthday together (they were others) so there was no better cake possible that one that was half Rangers and half Yankees. 

Go RanKees!!!!!!!  

GoYangers!!!!!! 

Oh never mind.

A Guy for All Sports

This cake was for a real sporty 8 year old's birthday celebration. Ari couldn't decide which he loves more, soccer, basketball, football or baseball. So the only thing to do was make a cake that celebrated all of them and that's what he got.

For "Ralph's Ices" Biggest Fan

Could you imagine anything better than a replica of a "Ralph's Italian Ice's" cup. This cake is three layers of moist chocolate cake filled with chocolate frosting. It is covered in white fondant and iced with vanilla butter cream. The top is sprinkled with Reese's pieces. I took pictures of this cake to our local Ralph's and the owner posted the pictures. So Awesome!!! He let me put my contact info on the bottom of the pictures so who knows maybe I'll get some more orders. A girl can hope, can't she?

Quilt Cake

This cake is a moist dark chocolate cake. It is made to resemble a quilt, it was made for someone who loves to quilt. This particular cake a very similar to a quilt that I've seen in a picture.
