King of Boston...Enough Said!

This cake was made for a self-proclaimed King of Boston's 30th Birthday party. His fiancee sent me pictures of him and his favorite outfit- including sunglasses and Van sneakers. This was a two tiered fondant cake with a layer of buttercream underneath. The cake was then sprayed with edible shimmer to make the cake shine like the lights in the city. The skyline was hand-cut (see details below):

A Cake Fit for a Luau King

This cake was made for a friend on his 30th Birthday. They celebrated his birthday at their annual luau but his wife wanted to make sure there was a king element incorporated into the theme. This is what I came up with. Notice that there are four small 'flames' on the corners of the cake- these actually lit up and flickered to look like tiki flames:


The Only Fighting During the Wedding!

This Groom's cake was requested by a bride for her husband who wants to be a UFC Fighter. She sent me pictures of the fighter he likes best and asked that I make sure he comes complete with a mohawk. Everything is edible except the metal 'cage':

Not for the Athletically Challenged!

This was a unique two tiered cake made for cousins on their Confirmation. One plays baseball and the other, golf. The top tier includes a baseball diamond with a golf flag on the pitcher's mound. The bottom tier represented the golf course.

This cake was a 1/2 sheet cake covered in hand-painted fondant to resemble a hardwood basketball court. The fondant figure was modeled after the 2 year old birthday boy. His name and age completed the jersey.
