Teddy Bears

Cute, girly, pretty, and fun. All the things this cake embodies for a one year old's birthday. "Forever Friends" type teddy bears among dozens of pink-hued flowers.

My Brandy Alexander

Criteria from client: make a cake with brandy in it. The first thing that came to mind when I thought of brandy was a Brandy Alexander.The drink that Feist wrote a song on, the old school drink containing, brandy, creme de cacao, cream, and nutmeg. This cake was my take on it.

Brandy soaked chocolate sponge, a layer of creamy dark chocolate custard, nutmeg spiced caramel gelle, and a brandy alexander flavored mousse. Enrobed in a taupe colored glaze and dusted lightly with cocoa powder and nutmeg to mimic the drink and surrounded with a spiced chocolate soil to give it some good texture.
