Sugar Flowers





Here are some recent photographs I took of my cake with gum paste flowers. I made roses, adding some color into the gum paste, then accented the petals with more color. I made calla lillies, stephanotis and orchids. Of course this is all edible. It's extremely time consuming yet very beautiful. Something that will last forever if taken care of. I enjoy making these, it's definitely edible art.

Photos from the Feel Good Film Festival









































Thank you to everyone who came out to the Egyptian theatre to support us. We had a good crowd, some good sales (of course there can always be more!), we got some great feedback, even donated 50 mini vanilla bean cupcakes for a party after we
had to leave. Overall a good day. Thanks.

Here's the wedding cake I made with the pearl sugar flowers. Inside is strawberry mousse with vanilla chiffon and vanilla buttercream, very light. The guests were very happy and loved the flowers.

Cheesecake



Here's that cheesecake I made monday evening that I tweeted about. Delicious. Made with vanilla bean, cinnamon graham cracker crust, very light, nice thin crust. Excellent with macerated fresh strawberries.
Adding a little more heavy cream and milk makes the filling fluffier rather than dry, like the NY style cheesecake.
