ELEPHANT CAKE

This is an elephant jungle cake I did for a client. Her little girl's bedroom walls were hand-painted by her grandma. The client wanted the elephant to resemble the drawing on the wall (below).

Hand-painted flowers are a little tricky but not really hard, if you learn to do them step by step.

EIGHT cakes to do this week. Yay!

Working on four cakes this week!

Here are two cakes I did over the weekend. The Minnie Mouse was really fun. The Lego/Minion cake was fun but doing the panels on the sides of the cakes was challenging.

In this Lego cake, I wish I would've put the 4 to the right and added two blue Lego "circles" to the left. Also, I could've put the cupcake in front of Minion without the cake round underneath and left off the real Legos, making way for two red rounds. Next time! That's what experimenting and growing is all about!

Here are two cakes I did for a WellWed Magazine photo shoot. The blue one, below, will be in their September issue! www.WellWed.com

Just found a link to Cakes of the Hamptons on the new site called Borrowed & Blue. Check it out!

Who would've guessed that the cake world could be so exciting! First there was the interview with Newsday, then Cakes of the Hamptons was asked to participate in a WellWed Magazine photo shoot, and then yesterday when I went to the Blue Duck in Riverhead to do a tasting with a potential wedding client, there were about 20 people with huge movie cameras in there doing a documentary for Bank of America about small businesses!! They ended up taping me and the client!! Stay tuned for more details as they unfold! Here is a grainy picture I took of one end of the bakery.
