NOVEMBER CAKES

Hi Everyone!!
November this year had some super cakes. This is just a few of the ones we delivered this past November. More to come. :)



1) This cake was for a Grand Opening at the Belle Meade Winery. The chocolate wine bottles were created to look like their wine bottles with imitations of the actual labels hand painted on the bottles. The grapes are also white chocolate. An imitation of their actual brand is on the side of the crate - also hand painted.



2) Groom's cake for a base ball fan..... just kidding. The groom specified that the puck have the correct texture on the side with the official language...except instead of saying "Made in Canada" the puck said "Made in Detroit"



3) This is the wedding cake that went along with the Detroit Red Wing Hockey Puck Cake. The cake has rolled fondant design on the sides in two colors of ivory and the gold. Sugar flowers on the top of the cake. Check out how the cake is displayed....on glass raised with glass vases. The coordinator for this cake was Alice Hendry, the venue was The Hermitage Hotel. The florist was A Village of Flowers.




4) The next two pictures are of a Genie cake we did for The Hardin School's fundraiser held at The Factory in Franklin. It was "Laughter for the Children"
This picture is the entire cake with the Genie coming out of the chocolate lamp and coming to a stand. Most people didn't know it was a cake until Kix Brooks cut the cake!!!!



This photo is a closer view of the Genie laughing. The theme for the evening was a Magical theme with an Aladdin flair. The entertainment was comedians.....




5) This simple but lovely cake was ivory candy coating (fondant) with chocolate ribbons. Fresh flowers were the topper. This was a wedding cake for our friends over at Randi Lesnik events. The reception was held at "The Avenue" on 3rd Avenue. Such a beautiful venue.




6) This is the Standing Eagle cake for The Marines.
We have done the birthday cake for The Marines here in Middle Tennessee for the last five years and it is such an honor. We appreciate all the generous men and women who serve our Country...and love working with them.

This picture is of everyone who worked on the cake: Me, Stacy to the back left, Abby to the back right and my partner in cake crime, my mother, Dianne, in the center front.


This is a close up of the Eagle.......very fierce....ready to take a bit out of any terrorist!!! Every "feather" was put on one at a time....they are all dark chocolate.




Next installment, more favorites from the past.... and more cakes from November.
Thanks for looking
