Many of the cakes for this weekend were for 50th and 60th surprise parties.

This is most definitely the tallest cakes I’ve ever made. It stood about 40″ high including the figurine and it served 200 people. It was for a wedding in Chinatown.  Below you’ll see the sketch and the finished product. And the finished product.

This is probably one of the cutest things I’ve ever made (besides the red sox golden retriever of course).  It was for a 5yr old who had a halloween bday and loves Batman, which is why the middle monster is wearing a batman costume.  I couldn’t look at the monsters with out smiling, I half… Read more »

Two girls had their sweet 16 birthdays on a party boat in Boston Harbor.  Their invite had a cute picture of the two of them screaming/laughing on an inner tube being pulled behind a motor boat.  As always, I replicated this in sugar.  Dolphins added just for fun : )
