Bacci Red Wine Cake

We had a small get together with friend before the 2012 New Year.  As a surprise to the hostess, I baked and carved the cake to form a wine, since John and Toni loves to brew their own wine.  I decorated the cake with fondant and printed their personalized wine label on an icing sheet using edible colored inks.

I didn't get the right color of their wine bottle sealer (blue) since I don't have a sample of their wine bottle when I made the cake, also I ran out of black food coloring for my airbrush.  This was my first successful attempt to make a wine bottle cake in few hours, just before the party.

Happy New Year!!!

Christmas Ball Ornament Cake

The Drum Up Business Event was a complete success!  This was my first cake order after the event held at my company.  Since it was the holiday, the cake design was a Holiday Ball Ornament.  I had some share of troubles when decorating this gorgeous holiday cake.  The original bow dropped and broke in to pieces.  I was so lucky that I had some red fondant left to create a new bow. Overall, I really like how the cake came out after my fair share of trouble.

The cake was a chocolate (popular flavor) and mocha Italian buttercream filling (another popular flavor).  The cake was adorned with marshmallow-butter-flavored fondant.

Ho Ho Ho!!!  Happy Holidays!

The flattering feedback I received from Maria on January 11/2012 12:24PM:

"Just wanted to let you know the cake was a big hit with my entire family on Christmas eve.  I used it as the centerpiece for the table and it was gorgeous and tasty for dessert!

Thanks so much for creating another original for me!

Mini Cupcakes for Drum Up Business Event at Pfizer Biotech

I was out on leave when a good friend e-mailed an information about FREE business promotion event to be held in our company. When I came back to work, I joined the Drum Up Business Event.  I found this as an opportunity to show my skills in cake decorating.  As part of promoting Hotkist Creations, I made a hundred mini chocolate cupcakes with mocha buttercream filling.

 

It was a hit!  I enjoyed being part of the event and I met Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause giving cookies and hot chocolate at this event!!! What did I do?  Sat on Santa's lap and made a wish..... Santa, I wish for a million dollar... LOL!!!

Pen Holder Cake for a Golden Birthday Celebration

This is Katrina's forth cake order (LV bag, Laker's basket ball, and Hermes purse cakes).  I am so delighted that she is very pleased with my work and with the cake flavors.  This time she wanted an antique pen holder cake in honor of her uncle's 50th birthday.

Another angle of the picture to show the top view of the cake. 

The cake flavor was chocolate cake with Italian buttercream vanilla filling.  Vanilla bean from Italy was added to enhanced the vanilla filling's flavor. 

Diaper Dress

Sara and John are expecting a baby girl by December 31, 2011. A beautiful baby shower was thrown for the couple in celebration to their first child.

I made a diaper dress, as shown in the center of the picture. The diaper dress was branded with Calvin Klein in honor of John, who is an exectutive in Calvin Klein company.
