Jerseylicious Inspired Party Dress Cake


Dress cake inspired by Jerseylicious! This is a great cake idea for any kind of sweet 16 party or dress party.  It is make with an 8" bottom tier and the middle tier is a 6" rounded cake and the top is a sculpted 6" going up to a 7" cake at the top.  I used candy melts for the cheetah print on the middle tier.  A very large rose tip for the ruffles and a figure piping tip for the stripes.  And the broach is made out of red and gold candy melts with SUPER AWESOME RED EDIBLE GLITTER!  I will be posting a tutorial very soon! 


Leprechaun Cake- St Patricks Day-

I just made this cake at work the other day for the case.  I know it's a little early, but I had the idea and just couldn't wait to try it.  I used the same construction as the Teddy Bear, Penguin, Tiger, and Mad Scientist cakes.  It is such a great shape that I can make SOOO many things with it.  He's so chubby and cute! I airbrushed his shirt with Neon Green Airbrush Color. His hat is about a 4" Cake on top of a round green melted chocolate plaque to make the brim. Everything is cake except his arms which are figure piped with icing! Even his feet are cake! Hope you like it!

Sweet Hearts Chocolate Cake- in Ganache and White Chocolate



Sweetheart Chocolate Cake is a collaboration with my mom Liz Larson from the Art of Frosting. I use Candy Melts everyday at the shop where I work. I find that I can create quick colorful accessories for my cakes that really add that little something extra. This cake is poured in Ganache to create a delicious and beautiful background for these free handed candy melt hearts.

Valentine Teddy Bear Cake in Butter Cream

Valentine Bear is created from a two tiered 6" round base and a single 4" round for the head. I bake extra deep  layers using a full batch of cake for 2 6" rounds which would normally take only a 1/2 batch. I use extra deep commercial pans to achieve this effect.  I often use a grass tip for his fur, but opted for a softer effect with a star tip and rosettes. His heart is red candy
 melts and his ears are made of Oreos (golden, my favorite).

Hello Kitty is Sculpted in 8" cake rounds and Butter Cream. 

Monsters Inc. Cake With Mike, Boo and Sully in Butter Cream

Say Hello to MIKE from Monsters Inc.! He is figure piped on this 1/2 sheet cake along with BOO and SULLY in Butter Cream

Here Mike, Sully and Boo are peaking out of  Butter Cream with a technique known as Sculpted Butter Cream. Leah is a Master at this technique. She uses large figure piping tips to rough in the design then "sculpts" with a small piece of Parfait Strip or a piece of the edge of a zip loc bag. These allow for a manageable size of a flexible "sculpting tool"
