Sam & Jay's Baby Shower

This was a baby shower cake for a couple named Sam and Jay.

Since the gender of the baby was unknown, i kept the color scheme pretty nuetral.

Instead i represented the parents in the cake, both of their names were spelled out in the baby blocks.

The four cake blocks were stacked on a quilted bed cake.

Congratulations Sam and Jay!!

Let Them Eat Cake Competition

I was lucky enough to be able to compete in a local wedding cake competition. The theme was "Historical Romances- Love Throughout the Ages" We decided to go with a Phantom of the Opera Theme

There are a few different techniques involved in this cake including; pulled sugar (candel flames), poured sugar (chandelier), and some pleating for the stage.

The topper was composed of some of the more symbolic elements of the play (or in my case the movie). The famous mask was made out of gumpaste. The rose tied with a black ribbon was also made out of gumpaste. And the letter (barely shown) was made of gumpaste with a sculpted seal.

My partner Vanessa Rosado and I standing proud next to our masterpiece!

....Unfortunately we did not win = /. But i wouldn't trade the experience for anything, and this definitely will not be the last competition you guys see me in!

~'Till next time...

Sincerely yours,

~O.G.

Bake like an Egyptian!!

This was a cake for an avid lover of the ancient egyptian culture. It is entirely edible from the gumpaste Ankh to the sculpted pyramid cake.

The scarab, wings, and ankh was all hand sculpted and painted.

Wedding Cake!

This was a wedding cake that catered to both a bride and the groom. This cake included gumpaste flowers that fade into brush embroidery.

The middle tier was double layered fondant with an edgy design cut out to reveal the under layer of fondant.

The topper was a piped royal icing dome with a single pink rose on the inside.

....and thats just me being hype!
