Shaken or Stirred?

I'm told that when Doug orders a martini it's extra dirty...filthy even. So in honor of his 50th birthday, we decided that only a custom Vodka bottle would do. This cake was accompanied by a dirty martini glass, which was handpainted with curse words cleverly censored by olives. Faketini's (sparkling water in mini glasses) were served with the cream cake bottle and round chocolate cake...topped with a fondant olive, of course.

Happy Birthday, Doug! You don't look a day over 49!

Melissa and Anthony

Music is such a big part of Melissa and Anthony's lives so it was evident that it must be incorporated into the theme of their wedding cake. A gumpaste bow was painted with notes and the cascading ribbon showcases the melody of When You Wish Upon A Star, Disney's version of a love song (see Disney Romance below). Red roses and black satin ribbon finished off the design.

Best wishes Melissa and Anthony! Congratulations on your happily ever after!

Disney Romance

When one thinks of timeless romance certain couples may stand out in your mind...Romeo and Juliet, Elvis and Priscilla, Mickey and Minnie.

Knowing that Melissa and Anthony were engaged at Disney, I thought the latter would best suit their rehersal dinner festivities. Modeled after the popular mouse-eared hats, I adorned the cakes in a sugarpaste veil and bow and a top hat. The rose is also sugarpaste painted with a ruby red shimmer. Stay tuned for their wedding cake!
