50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CAKE

Gold is the color for 50th wedding anniversaries.  So I designed this cake for a 50th party.  There are 175 hand painted ruffles around the bottom tier of this cake.  Very time consuming but stunning.

Happy Anniversary to Joyce and Wayne.

LACY DESIGNER DESSERT

This exquisite dessert was made for a small dinner party this summer.  It was a real challenge working with chocolate when it is 115 degrees outside.  Thank goodness for air conditioning and three refrigerators.

The description of this dessert is:

Milk Chocolate Mousse, 70% Valrhona  Chocolate Creme Brule, Salted Caramel, Praline Krispie, Encased in a lacy chocolate shell, garnished with streusel and dried raspberries.

You cannot believe how yummy this dessert is.  It is creamy, chocolaty, crunchy, and salty all wrapped up into one package.
It took a lot of time to execute it but it was well worth it.

SPORTS COURT PARTY DESSERTS

I made these desserts, plus two that are not pictured, for a party at an amazing home in Rancho Mirage that had a built in Tennis Court, Basketball Court and Bocci Ball Court.  The Basketball cupcakes are Carrot with Cream Cheese Frosting, the Bocci Ball cupcakes are Chocolate with a ganache center and vanilla buttercream, the Tennis cupcakes are Vanilla with a salted caramel center and Caramel buttercream.
The mini cupcake flavors are Lemon, Coconut, and German Chocolate Cake.

The squares are an Apricot Crumb Square.
Not pictured are Macaron and Chocolate Fleur de Sel Cookies.

I received a note from my customer:

Want to let you know your efforts were appreciated.  What a GREAT job you did.  Everyone loved them – not surprising, but always a good reinforcement of decisions as to what to serve.  They were perfect! 

QUILTED BIG BOW CAKE

This cake was for two 40 year olds that were celebrating their birthdays together at Tommy Bahamas with 85 of their friends.
The flavors were two layers of Chocolate Cake and one layer of Vanilla Butter Cake with fillings of Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and Vanilla Buttercream.
They forgot to give me the rhinestone 40 that they bought for the top of the cake ahead of time so I didn't get a picture of it on the cake.

PINK RUFFLE CAKE

This Pink Ruffle Cake was made for a very special lady on her birthday.  I have made many cakes, desserts, candies, and her favorite peanut brittle for many years.
The flavor was Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Filling.
This is what she wrote to me after the party:
Pam dear – without a doubt – the birthday cake you did for the party Jerry and Chuck gave me was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAKE I’ve ever seen.  YOU are truly a pastry genius.  Thank you so much for this exquisite creation.

COOKIES FOR A WINE LOVER

 These cookies (and many more of them) were made for a clients son's birthday party.  He is a wine enthusiast.  She is traveling with them to Los Angeles and will give one to each guest at the party.  She said she would transport them extra carefully.  I sure hope she does and none of the corks pop off!!!

SHE'S A JEWEL BIRTHDAY CAKE

I made this cake for the Country Club where I used to work.  They asked me to match the flowers to the tablecloth.  I absolutely love this color combination!!!
The birthday girl loves jewelry so I made some edible jewelry to "throw" on her cake.
Flavors of this cake were chocolate cake with raspberry filling and chocolate mousse filling.

ENGAGEMENT PARTY CAKE

This cake was for an engagement party.  The client asked me to use peach and ecru colors only.

TIFFANY BLUE & BLING WEDDING CAKE

Thank you Scott & Beatriz for choosing Sugar Chef to make your wedding cake, cupcakes, and cookies on your wedding day.  I absolutely loved the Tiffany Blue color you chose with the white cake and white flowers.
The reception was at Desert Island Country Club and they were wonderful to work with.
The 5 tier cake flavors were vanilla and raspberry. The cupcakes were chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting covered with fondant and carrot with cream cheese frosting.
The florist that supplied the beautiful roses and hydrangea was David Rohr Floral Studio, Cathedral City, Ca. www.davidrohrstudio.com  They were a pleasure to work with and their flowers were fresh and beautiful. They really went above and beyond expectations.
