On February 14th we helped a very special girl celebrate her 2nd birthday with this Abby Cadabby themed cupcake tree.  Who is Abby Cadabby?  I asked myself that same question.  =)  Abby is the newest 3 year old fairy-in-training to join the lovable cast of Sesame Street.  Abby, Elmo and Cookie Monster even made a special appearance at her party!  Chloe’s cupcakes were an assortment of Yellow Butter Cake with Fresh Strawberry Cream filling and Devils Food Chocolate with Cookies N Cream filling.  Each cupcake was topped off with a handmade sugar flower or star topper and lustered with pink and pearl sheen.  The top of her tree was a fondant covered Red Velvet with Cream Cheese filling cake adorned with a custom Abby Cadabby figurine I handmade out of sugar paste. 
Happy Birthday Miss. Chloe Cadabby!

Do you remember when we had boom boxes instead of ipods?  Seems like a long time ago huh?  Well we made Bryan his own replica boom box cake to celebrate this birthday.  The cake was delivered to the new Ka Restaurant & Lounge.  The cake was walked through the restaurant filled with club goers lead by bouncers and followed by Ka girls holding large sparkler candles and a dressed up Yoshi character.  After Bryan blew out the candles he was drenched with several bottles of popped bubbly champagne!  Its was a fun party!
Happy Birthday Bryan!

Congratulations Hong!

Posted on February 22, 2010 by Gummi
I wanted to share this blog with everyone to feature Hong and the cake she made!  Hong is a senior at Roosevelt High School who just complete her Senior Project job shadow requirement with me.  In January one of my old teachers contacted me and said one of her students was interested in cake decorating.  She said Hong wanted to shadow me for her project.  I’m also a graduated of Roosevelt H.S. and was willing to help out another Rough Rider.  Hong completed 30 hours with me and made this cake to share at her final presentation.  Hong designed this cake in Roosevelt’s Red & Gold colors which showcased her activities in school- Tennis, Cross Country and Leo Club.  She finished off the cake by including Roosevelt’s iconic bell tower.  All the decorations were handmade out of gumpaste and fondant and she used the new techniques she learned to complete the cake.  I’m so proud of all her hard work!
Here’s some additional shots of the cake!

We recently participated as the cake vendor in the open house launch party for the luxurious Oasis World Estates.  Through a series of blogs, we are pleased to share with you some of the beautiful photography from the event and hope you consider this stunning venue for your wedding.  This was truly a night to remember!

To kick off the series we start with this video created by the talented Joshua Fair of Fisheye Studio.  Joshua’s cinematography did an excellent job of capturing the posh and lavish ambiance of the Beachfront and Oceanfront Oasis properties.
