When in Rome, eat birthday cake

It was a pleasure to make this (almost!) architectural birthday cake for a charming and intelligent young woman and her fellow Latin students.   Happy 12th birthday "Anastasia!"

A "greyt" big cake

Cake for 120 two-legged (and perhaps a few four-legged) guests at a Greyhounds of Eastern Michigan event.

Birthday cake for an artist

Now for something completely different. 
The project:  A cake for my friend's mother, an acclaimed sculptor, to celebrate her 70th birthday. 
The stipulation:  "It should be sculptural and fun to make."  (Good to eat is a given)
The audience: One septuagenarian, talented in the fine, social, and culinary arts; her loving family, and half of who's who in our local art world. 
The venue:  The gallery, of course.
Set aside the star tip, self.  Just walk away from that lowly star tip....

Bronze does not make good eating, but liquid gold caramel, cast slabs of cashew brittle, and "hammered" bars of dark chocolate did the trick.  I added a cantilever, a whirl of Pocky spokes, and a spray of candles. Happy Birthday to a special woman. 

A (sweet) Bride and her (frosted) Maids

I made these cakes for some friends who married after 35 years of togetherness.  They missed (escaped?) the ruffles and chiffon 30 years ago, so I delivered it in cake. 

Cakes for two to four...personal-ish?

Violin, piano, and cake: A tasty trio

A dainty birthday

Cake = less boredom in the board room
