This cake was designed for an outdoor garden themed party. Her mom gave me the color palette and requested that the shape of her daughter’s cake is similar to another debut cake I made (Denims and Diamonds). So I made them a wonky cake and then made the base color lemon lime. I added green flowers on the base of the cakes and randomly added gold dragees to add texture. I also added “floating butterflies” to tie it to the outdoor theme. For the number 18 on top of the cake, I used gold beads similar to the gold dragees to balance the design.

I made this cake for a girl that started in modeling at a very young age. That’s why her dad wanted a cake that would reflect his daughter’s passion. They wanted a hot pink and black theme for the motif. So I designed the cake with silhouettes of models. Then for her cupcakes I used the same theme but this time it’s a silhouette of a model’s head shot. For the number 18 on top of the cake I used hot pink beads and put it on top of hot pink and black fondant ribbons.

This is a wedding cake I made for my nephews wedding, (technically he’s my nephew but he’s older than me that I call him kuya). Their color palette was green and pink but wanted it to make their cake elegant. To incorporate their color motif I made green carnations and pink rose buds using fondant. For the elegance part, I created a diamond pattern on the cake and highlighted the points of the diamond using gold dragees. I also added a gold ribbon on all the cake layers. And on top of the cake are the bride and groom cake toppers.

Cake details:
Bottom Layer: 12 inches
Middle Layer: 10 inches
Top Layer: 6 inches
Flavor: Carrot Pineapple with Walnuts and Cream Cheese Filling

This is a custom cake I made as a welcome home gift to a nurse from New York. On the top of the cake I placed a nurse in her scrub suit with her luggage and the I “heart” New York paper bags. And since she’s from Bicol I added on the front of the cake the silhouette of the Mayon Volcano and Cagsawa Ruins. I also surrounded the cake with gumpaste chili peppers.
