Bar Mitzvah

I did my first Bar Mitzvah cake on saturday. It was at The Cape Codder Resort and Spa in Hyannis. The family asked me to make a fedora for the cake. I also used a picture of their prayer shawl to drape over the cake. The cake was chocolate with buttercream frosting. It seemed to be a big hit. The first picture was the one i had used to make the cake

Cake for co-worker

This cake was made for a co-worker who recently got married. It is a private joke he said he only got married so he would have someone to"pull the plug" you have to know him......Everything used for this cake is edible made of gumpaste for the plug, strip, socket. Cake was chocolate with chocolate frosting and rolled fondant was used to make the top of cake.

Bonnie Gordon classes private lessons

I had a great private class Haute Couture which was really neat. Lori Hutchinson of "The Caketress" is an amazing cake decorator and has her own business check out her website it is truly incredible. I learned some simple techniques which i will definately use to make some really fancy cakes. She was very helpful and very willing to share her knowledge and expertise.

My other private lesson was with Jennie she taught me some gumpaste flowers i learned the rose and peony and also the anemone. She was such a nice woman and very talented as well. I would highly recommend the Bonnie Gordon school to anyone Bonnie is a great woman and her school is wonderful.

Bonnie Gordon classes DC3

DC3 was the advanced decorating class. It was a 4 day class in which we were given an "assignment" to do a wedding cake for a couple (not real) and come up with a design. It was an independent project. We had a great instructor Isabella who is an amazing cake decorator. I was given a "harvest" wedding theme. The couple was Canadian and were getting married at a farm and they lived in a cottage on the weekends. Isabella was so instrumental in helping to show me how to marbelize the fondant/gumpaste and paint/color the fruits etc.. which i used on my cake. It is amazing how all the skills we used in the previous classes enabled us to make such amazing cakes. (cakes were actually styrofoam for class purposes) We had great people in our class Renata came all the way from Brazil; Sharon from D.C.; Sean and Carm from Toronto. Great people, fun class!
