Max's 1st birthday celebration!

For Max's 1 year old birthday we made a beautiful 3 tier cake. Bottom tier is our dark chocolate cake with valrhona 70% chocolate buttercream, middle vanilla cake layered with valrhon ivoire chocolate and raspberry buttercream and finally top red velvet with our madagascar bourbon vanilla cream cheese frosting. The cake was covered with white fondant and decorated with ribbons and blue fondant circles. We then topped the cake with Max's favorite puppy stuffed toy and favorite blue blanket. WE presented the cake on a beautiful cake stand and placed our vanilla and carrot cupcakes around it for an even more stunning presentation!

We also made pink and blue "No.1" cookie party favors for each little guest to take home. Everyone got their No.1 cookie with either blue or pink icing and their names written on it. Wonderful way to take something home from such a lovely 1 year old birthday celebration!

New member of our pastry family!

Hi, for those who've recently visited our patisserie you will have noticed a new addition to our pastries. It's what we call a chocolate hazelnut crunch and it's absolutely delicious and my new favorite! It combines all the tastes and textures of your dream cake. Layers of tempered milk and dark chocolate is sandwiched with our jivara (valrhona 40% chocolate) cream and ganache. The bottom is made of a hazelnut dacquoise topped with our praline crunch. It's all at once smooth, crispy, crunchy, chocolatey and hazelnuty. Too all you nutella and ferrero rocher fans out there, this is your absolute fantasy cake! It comes in individual, 1 lb, 2 lb and 3 lb sizes. Come and order it now!

Baby's baptism cake

For Tristan's very special baptism, we made a valrhona white chocolate and raspberry cake to celebrate the occasion. Each layer of fluffy vanilla cake was sandwiched with our white chocolate buttercream and raspberry puree. We then covered the cake with white fondant and decorated it with little blue polka dot lined fondant stars.

Croquembouche

For a parisian themed tea party, we made this show stopper croquembouche! We made about 60 cream puffs, each with a tender crust and an inner shell that was soft, moist and custardy. The cream puffs were filled with our madagascar bourbon vanilla pastry cream and "glued" together with caramel. We then spun caramel sugar around the croquembouche to give it an even more stunning presentation!

Chocolate banana landrover defender

For Magnus' 2nd birthday we created a chocolate banana version of the landrover defender 60th anniversary car. We layered fresh banana cake with our dark chocolate buttercream and molded the cake into an actual car fit with windshield wipers, tires, license plates and even the white bird detailing of the 60th anniversary addition cars. All decorations were made of fondant and entirely edible! Happy birthday Magnus!

Pre wedding cupcakes

For a special wedding ceremony, we shipped dozens of our delicious red velvet with madagascar bourbon vanilla cream cheese frosting cupcakes and fresh strawberry with strawberry buttercream cupcakes to the Four Seasons for a delectable sweet pick me up before the actual wedding ceremony. We placed each cupcake on beautiful glass cupcake holders. Elegant and delicious!

Fit for an Italian Job !

The perfect chocolate cake transformed into the perfect little car! We molded our delicious dark chocolate cake into a purple mini cooper by layering it with our valrhona 70% chocolate buttercream and covering it with fondant. All details including the license plate, rear view mirrors, wind shield wipers etc were lovingly molded out of fondant or piped with royal icing. Perfect for an Italian Job!

Princess bachelorette party

For a very special bachelorette party with a pink sparkly princess theme, we decorated a bunch of our delicious cupcakes with little pink princess crowns and silver ball sprinkles to match!

Everything a princess would want!

For a birthday boy's soccer themed party, we made a 3d fudge chocolate cake, filled with our valrhona 70% chocolate buttercream. The cake was covered in fondant and molded into soccer ball. We then cut out black and white pentagons to create a truly soccer ball look!

Ben Ten for the boys!

Honey, I blew up the cupcake!

One of our cupcake fans wanted our cupcake turned into a giant cupcake and so we did! we made one big strawberry cupcake. As you might know, our strawberry cupcake is delicious (One of my favs!). It's flavored with fresh strawberries pureed into the cake and into the frosting. There's no coloring, just fresh strawberries that make it beautifully pink.

A 1st birthday extravaganza

For a blue and green color themed baby's 1st birthday, we made a 2 tier red velvet cake covered with white fondant and blue and green polka dots.The cake layers sandwiched our delicious madagascar bourbon vanilla cream cheese frosting. Lightly flavored with cocoa and vanilla bean, dyed a beautiful crimson, the cake was every bit fluffy and delicious! Along with the birthday cake, we made boxes of s'mores and red velvet cupcakes for the guests to take home. Each cupcake was topped with a light bue "1" and a light green "Thank you"!

Edible pieces of art

For another wedding at the Aberdeen Marina Club, we made a customized dessert buffet. We sent over our signature cupcake tower lined with our lemon, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. We also filled containers with our delicious Pistachio macaroons. The show stopper,however, was definitely our miniature wedding cakes! The flavors were red velvet, banana foster and lemon and each miniature wedding cake was first covered with fondant then lined with their respective sugar flowers and ribbon. These sugar flowers were hand crafted by molding and sculpting each individual petal. They were then stuck onto each cake with Royal Icing. They were truly pieces of art that were delicious as well!

Monogram embossed wedding cupcake tower

For this beautiful wedding, we topped each and every one of these 300 strawberry and red velvet cupcakes with hand made sugar fondant decorations. Each piece of fondant was embossed with the wedding couples initials, cut into heart shapes and dotted with pink polka dots. The cupcakes were then placed on our 7 tier cupcake tower and shipped to the Aberdeen Marina Club for a stunning wedding celebration! To match the beautiful cupcakes we also decorated each tier with white and pink ribbons.
