Grooms Cakes

The beloved groom deserves a cake that’s all his own.  Something that brings out his personality or reflects a hobby.

Alex…our shoe lover (75 in his collection) requested this awesome cake.  Two shoe boxes stacked on top of each other and a replica of the shoe his bride was to wear and a replica of his favorite pair of Nike.  The shoes are hand sculpted from gumpaste and hand painted.  The fondant covered cake had delicious red velvet cake with cream cheese filling.

Shoes...shoes galore

Shoes...shoes galore

Michael and Allison, who wed at the lovely Westlake Village Inn, enjoyed this grooms cake during the rehersal dinner.  Allison completely surprised her husband to be  by ordering this cake for him.  Michael is a huge fan of the movie Finding Nemo.  We created wedding bands and placed them in the edible clam shell on top of the cake.  Nemo and Dori make a cute pair at the base of the cake.  This really was…A Sweet Catch!!

I love the way skulls just transform when they are surrounded

by pink, especially pearlized wearing a bow.   This is a fondant

cake that Maritza Rios  made for her daughters first birthday.  It’s just the right element of fun and

badass all wrapped up together.
