Bar Mitzvah: Hockey Cake

Who is lucky enough to get 10 cakes for their birthday?  This birthday boy who celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at EZone which is indoor sports and entertainment complex.

I was able to blend in his love for hockey, Pittsburgh Penguins and personalize everything it for his special day.

I loved how it all turned out and everything was completely edible.  I would say the hardest part was making 2 matching skates.

When I made carved cakes, I always bake extra cake, just in case.  So, I added in these mini-cake pucks.  Wouldn't this be a great idea for a boys birthday and everyone gets their own puck!

Bar Mitzvah: Gold Maserati Cake

It all started with a gold maserati cake....

Then add a few tire cakes, 4 to be exact....  Stack them a little offset.. and....

....add the Gold Maserati on top and voila!  You have a fabulous, eye-catching 5-tier centerpiece cake for a Bar Mitzvah.

Cake Decorator's Tip:  For cake tiers that are identical in design and shape (as in the tires above), ensure that you somehow mark each with the cake flavor.  You way want to do this discretely or in the back of the cake for yourself and the servers.  I always provide printed instructions of all the details of the cake and serving instructions.

Bar Mitzvah: Medieval Times Cake n' Cupcakes

As a cake designer, I'm so lucky to be a part of special events.  I love hearing about their event preparations, seeing the invitations and talking through cake ideas which will compliment the party theme. 

This cake and cupcake tower was for a Bar Mitzvah.  The theme was medieval times.  I had a lot of fun with this and loved how it all came together.

The cake was orange dream with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream and there were chocolate and vanilla cupcakes decorated with handmade sugarpaste decorations.

When the cupcake tower were finally set up at the event - it was perfect!  The decor at the banquet hall was absolutely amazing and really set the tone for the medieval times theme - I, myself, wanted to have a medieval times party :-)
