Recent Cakes
Happy Daylight Savings Time ENDING everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your extra hour of sleep. Me, I actually slept less for some reason....happens every year! If anyone can figure that out, let me know....
Anyhow....cakes....
As usual, Lambertville Inn is keeping me busy with basic wedding cake designs...love working with them! Below are some cakes that were done for other customers.....
The first is a pumpkin I did for a friend last weekend, for a baby's first birthday party...she requested the inside to have plenty of chocolate, for the benefit of cute, messy-baby pictures!!!!
The next was made for one of the staff at Lambertville Inn for a birthday for some boys. Two of the favorite food groups of the male species....Hamburger, and dessert, all wrapped up into one! What could be bad about that! This juicy "hamburger" is actually filled with chocolate/chocolate chip cake and sweet vanilla buttercream!
Then, early this morning, my delivery boy (i.e. husband) went out the door with this Baptism cake for a regular customer......the design was originally from Pink Cake Box....however, we added a tier, changed the color, and the monogram and cross are slightly different due to just varying styles of the decorator:
Check back next week for more cake projects!!!!!!

Gorgeous day for a wedding!
For those of you here in Pennsylvania...today was DREAM WEDDING WEATHER!!! Bright, sunny, warm but not hot...cool breeze.....AMAZING October wedding weather! The couples who got married today couldn't have custom ordered anything nicer!
The first cake went to the Mercer County Park Marina. It was to be styled after my cake featured in the Philadelphia Weddings Magazine last year, with white fondant and crystal gemstones. This cake was to be slightly ivory with edible pearls. I just love how her topper had the silver and pearls to tie in with the cake and the stand!
The picture could have been better, but I was having technical difficulties with my camera!!!! :-S The cake was vanilla, each tier containing one layer of raspberry preserves filling and two layers of raspberry mousse filling.
The second was a cake for my regular venue, The Inn at Lambertville Station. This vanilla cake with whipped chocolate ganache filling has a nice fall "Woodland" look to it, and goes very well with the rustic decor at the Inn:
I hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather!!!!!! Congrats to these special couples.

Fall weddings
Its a beautiful time of the year for a wedding!!!!! And this weekend, I had three wedding cakes to do. One of them, I was not able to photograph because the flowers were placed after I left.
However I will post the other two simple-but-classic designs!
The first was a classic, ribbon-and-swiss-dots wedding cake for The Inn at Lambertville Station:
The next was for a lovely outdoor wedding reception at the bride's parents' home. I have to say, I just LOVE the look of a "Homestyle" iced cake! I think it just looks inviting and delicious...and having the homestyle-iced tiers alternating with short, smooth-iced tiers just "made" the look, in my opinion!
Homestyle iced cakes also remind me of my childhood....I always looked at the swirled icing on the cake photo on the front of a box of cake mix. I remember trying to swirl the canned icing on the cake to look JUST like the front of the box. Or, I'd fork a bite, and then try to swirl the icing on the bite JUST like the advertising photo. Somehow, it just wouldn't taste as good if the icing didn't have a fancy swirl! So, whenever I get treated to the opportunity of doing a classic homestyle iced wedding cake, I have fond memories of those early attempts to "decorate" a cake to match the front of a cake mix box. :-)
While we're mentally digging into those fluffy looking buttercream-covered tiers, I may as well share that the taller tiers are chocolate chip cake with three layers of milk chocolate whipped ganache filling, and the short tiers are a moist, homestyle pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling. "I'll take one of each, please...."
I hope you are all enjoying the fall weather!!!!!

Mitzvah and Baby Blessings
Three cake projects this past weekend....one was a four tiered scroll cake for The Inn at Lambertville Station, which is my awesome weekly venue....
The next was a Bat Mitzvah, done at the Forsgate Country Club in New Jersey. The lucky girl was having a fancy shopping, shoe, and handbag theme! She picked out the cake design she wanted completely, plus sent me the Christian Louboutin shoe she wanted me to replicate in sugar, and is completely edible. The cupcakes surrounding the cake were for the candlelighting ceremony, so that the candles did not have to be stuck directly into the cake itself:
Lastly, was a replica of a previous design I have on my website, which is a sculpted stork carrying a bundle of baby bear! Of course each cake is unique and can never be a perfect replica but its basically the same. At the venue they had the party, the caterer had a rule they would not serve any outside cakes. So they served the cake from the caterer, but were able to use my cake for display, and then take it home! Hey all the better....all that rich fudgy cake goodness full of chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream gets to feed their family and friends for the next week or two! :-) Everything on this cake is edible, with a few internal supports inside that are not edible. The head of the stork and the head of the baby bear are made of rice krispy treats. There is no styrofoam in this cake. The satin is there to give the idea that the stork's long legs are hiding in a cloud of baby sweetness. :-)
I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely fall weather! I just had my first Pumpkin Cappo/Coffee of the season this morning....Mmmmm.... and cake is in the oven as I am typing this, making the house warm and yummy smelling. Have a GREAT week!!!!

Bridgetown Mill House
Just finished delivering this one to the Bridgetown Mill House right down the road from us in Langhorne...
The cake is iced in buttercream and has fondant vines and gumpaste flowers. Some of the fondant vines are right on the cake, and others are wired a little away from the cake for a touch more realism, per request of the bride. The cake has a bit of a pearl sheen as well. The wooden stand was something the bride had specially made and I think its gorgeous! The cake itself will make a delicious dessert as well, with a moist vanilla cake and three yummy layers of raspberry filling per slice!!!!
Keep posted for more cakes next weekend! Fall is a BUSY cake season!!!!
