Bat Mitzvah at Four Seasons

This week was really busy for me, although most of it was dedicated to one project.   I had a few smaller things to do like a large sheet cake for a graduation, and cupcakes for some birthdays...but the rest of my time was dedicated to designing and executing this Bat Mitzvah cake (thanks to my friend Stacey Hill for editing this photo to take out some shadows!):

This customer allowed me to almost completely design her cake, other than the fact they wanted topsy turvy style, they wanted a "13" on top, the "Mazel Tov", and later they requested I incorporate the design from the table linens, which, by the way, looked gorgeous in the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia.    

I just LOVE when a customer allows me to design their cake!    It really allows my creativity to really get going, and I'm able to try out patterns and techniques that I have been wanting to see in my portfolio.

The pink and lime tiers with the "ribbon rosettes" are the tiers I did to coordinate with the table linens, which were pink and lime and had similar satin ribbon rosette shapes all throughout the fabric.  I am really pleased with how these particular tiers turned out:

Here is the final setup...complete with 13 cupcakes to hold the candles for the candle lighting ceremony:

Next week I will be doing two weddings...one of which will be a replica of a cake I did for a competition a few years ago (can you guess which one???).  The bride, from Reading, PA, contacted me because she found the photo of the cake online and wanted the original designer to make it for her!   Stay tuned for photos....
