Celebrating Milestones

There are so many milestones to celebrate with family, and this sweet clan got to celebrate a baptism and a 60th birthday together!

The party took place in January, right in the middle of all the insane snowstorms we had in the northeast this winter! So the cakes were designed with the winter setting outside in mind! Pure white fondant, with silvery snowflakes as a simple but elegant decoration!

Here is the baptism cake:

It was vanilla cake with a decedent cannoli cream filling and vanilla frosting.

Here is the 60th birthday cake made to match:

This cake was vanilla cake with a nutella filling and vanilla frosting.  Yum!!

Congrats to this sweet family on the wonderful milestones they were able to celebrate together!!

Heavenly Bites goes to a Wedding!

The day after the mini-cakes were due, I had a 3 tier wedding cake and 130 cupcakes due! Needless to say, there were some late nights last week getting all the decorations prepared, but it was well-worth all the hard work, getting to see the finished projects (and then crawling into bed!)

The wedding cake was a 3 tier Devils Food cake with cannoli cream filling (YUM) and vanilla buttercream frosting. It was covered in sage green fondant, each tier wrapped with a darker green ribbon and decorated with several eye-popping orange tiger lilies (to match the wedding flowers) and pearl dragees in a swirly design...I was so excited with the end result!

The cupcakes were a delicious mixture of flavors...apple cake with cream cheese frosting, banana cake with vanilla frosting and vanilla cake with chocolate frosting...each was topped with a decadent swirl of frosting and either three tiny flowers or one large flower with a pearl dragee center.

Just Finished!

The wedding took place at the beautiful Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ in view of the NYC skyline and turned out to be a beautiful day - so happy for the bride and groom!
