This is what I do?

So It's been another few months at the bakery, and this is what I've been up to. There are some crazy orders out there, but some of these are by far some of the most bizarre.

We have Fozzy the Bear riding a snow mobile. A Dirt Devil for a 4 year old who likes cleaning, and many more. This is what it's come to I suppose.

We All Live In a Yellow Submarine

Recent 3Ds atop cakes for Icing on the Cake. These are my favorite to do, because they are the most challenging and remind me that I am not just a cake decorator but still an artist- Even if it's a dumb bunny in a birthday hat. They're all edible, and made of cake and fondant.

I'm still working on paintings- however the time I spend is becoming less frequent. I miss it very much. The older you get, and the more responsibilities we have, the more money we need. If I could leave it all and just paint, that is what I'd do. For now, this will do. And I do like it.

Coming soon! My new Etsy Shop with handmade animal toppers!

Halloween Time

My room mates and I had a cake inspiring party. So here's the cake I made for it. 10" buttercream with the carved skull covered in fondant.

Buttercream+Fondant

Buttercream and I have a love/ hate relationship. Fondant and I still have our rendezvous often as we can. Fondant and I meet up for Birthdays mostly.

Withdrawal from Sin

Bryan's mom saved me an article about Sin Desserts (Those of you that don't know, I used to work there, and miss it very much) I'm very proud of them, and excited to have seen them in the Projo. What was even cooler, was seeing this cake! One of the last cakes I worked on with Keri and Jen before I left. This place is where my love for cake art began, and it will always be my favorite. They are genuine, sweet, and very knowledgeable and talented. I'm grateful to have learned from them.

Mista Teapot Tickles Teapot!

I've realized I really hate the pronunciation "fond- aunt" It's more like "fond-int" to me, but Whatever! (My boss... and Buddy from Cake Boss both use the one that makes my ears bleed) Here are some recent 3d creations at Icing on the Cake! It's going well.

Teapot- cake covered with fondant, gum paste spout and handle and handpainted roses with edible sugar paint, and gold luster dust!
Mr. Tickles- cake covered in fondant, gum paste arms, damn creepy smile. Apparently he's some character that the children love...
Turtle!- Cake covered in fondant- and piped on details. Isn't he cute? I'd feel bad eating him.

Icing on the Cake cakes!

I started a new decorating job- in Newton MA at Icing on the Cake. I'm very excited to be there. It's closer to a full time job than both of my other jobs combined! And it's a great working atmosphere, I couldn't be more grateful.
As you can see, the circus cake is for a first birthday. As for the skulls, I decorated it based on a 13 yr old's dream design for her cake.

Sin Does the Boston Flower and Garden Show

So, I started a new job last week, at a new bakery. Being a grown up can kind of suck when you have to choose something more practical over something more fun. Not that this new bakery isn't fun to work at! It's just a lil' different. And their cakes are mighty tasty. It's The Icing on The Cake. But this cake here, was one of my last cakes for Sin Desserts. Jen will have me back for more painted cakes like this when people request them, which makes me feel better about having to leave. I also had to leave Beadworks, but am still teaching occasional classes.

Twilight?!

Sin. Is so cool. I still get to paint! See? This was a cake that Jen and I worked on for Ronald McDonald house. I think in this situation it was sort of 'Make a Wish' foundation'-like. The little girl we made it for is very sick. It was her birthday and she loves Twilight. So, it's a cake shaped exactly like the book! I am yet to see that movie. But I heard she loved it! Whoever she is, I hope she gets better. Say a little prayer for her.

Peacocks yo.

A cake that I did at Sin. And now it's made an appearance in Southern New England Weddings Magazine!

I love Sin Desserts!

Okay. So many of you may be wondering what I've been up to. (Maybe not) But here are some pictures anyway! I work at this lovely bakery Sin. It's probably my most favorite job I've had over the years. I decorate cakes! I don't bake them, and everything I learned, I learned from Jen Luxmoore (mastermind behind Sin). It's been a great experience and I can't wait until wedding season picks up again. Here are a few of the finished products I worked on. If you think these are cool. Check out the bakery and order something!
