Happy 28th Birthday Lisa!

My beautiful (fashionable) sister, Lisa, turned 28 on July 20th. She hosted a birthday pool party with friends and this cake was the main dessert.

It was my first time decorating with fondant and I was surprised how easy it was. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, the fondant kept the cake very moist and delicious (red velvet - my sister's favorite).

Happy Mother's Day!

I have finally moved and settled into my new home in Port Washington, NY - on the north shore of Long Island. I have a great kitchen to create cake designs. My first cake in my new home was for this year's Mother's Day celebration.

A lot of firsts: First family gathering in my first home with my first cake designed in my new kitchen. This cake was the first I have attempted with a basketweave design - self taught. It was also the first time I used royal icing to create sugar flowers.

Crumb coated. Second coat of white on top and purple on the sides. Begin basketweave.


Completed basketweave. Complete writing. Added Flowers.


Inserted finishing touches - leaves!
