Having free reign to create any pink cake for a Baby Shower Party, I came up with this concept. It took me quiet some time to source for some extra ordinary molds. I didn’t like the horses widely available and nearly made one myself from a christmas decoration ;-) most difficult part? Time management… Top and bottom is cake with pink vanilla sponge with dark chocolate ganache filling. I’ve made aswell a video on a turntable of the cake: Hope you like it
I can’t tell you for how long I had this design in mind and how thrilled I was to get clients looking for something like this. Sequins hand made, diamonds made from sugarpaste, pearls individually colored and applied by hand… the black tier has some sparkle/glimmer that isn’t entirely visible from the picture. Cake board was decorated with a thread ribbon to achieve a floating effect. 3 tiered wedding cake with chocolate cake and raspberry-ganache filling. Hope you like it
First timer to work with gold leaf and I recommend everyone to work with transfer sheets, unlike me. And don’t forget to hold your breath while working with it ;-) The white peonies are made from wafer paper. Due to the high humidity this sommer the small blossoms didn’t dry for 4 days! Also a first timer for me. Well, I borrowed the vegetable and fruit dryer (e.g. apple chips) from a friend to get those tiny blossoms to dry. Worked only partly as they would soak up the humidity again once out again and have turned to a ‘lovely’ pale light brown due to the heat in the drying machine. If you ever consider doing this; keep in mind that the sugar might caramelise… And don’t miss the inside look into the cake; each layer was filled with a different SMB
My first trial an peonies and trying Nicolas Lodges recipie. Result: a ruined Kenwood pasta attachment and muscle ache in my wrist and finger joints. But now I can lift that 1.6kg cake with one finger ;-) Second pic shows a close-up on the peonies
These boots are ment for eating ;-) Yellow sugarpaste airbrushed and I am most proud of the realistic stone floor Inside: Lemon almond cake with lemon SMB

I wanted to try out a new technique and while making this cake it turned out different than I had in my mind or planned. The flowers are made from my hand-made silicone molds

I’m in love with a sugar dromedary, although camel would sound nicer ;-) This was a very unique project and I am always amazed what life stories I get told which in return inspire me to come up with a special design. Hope you like it.
a little mermaid for a girls first birthday. I had some problems with the mermaid figurine and I am not sooo happy how it turned out. I loved to make the crab. Guess I am more fond of comic like figurines. Inside: 3 turquoise ombre lemon cake with lemon buttercream
The client requested a Princess Lillifee cake and I was immediately reminded by Debbie Browns fairy cake design. So kind of a merger :-)
Vanilla bean cake with strawberry buttercream
This week I’ve learned a new word: Bibliomania. So this wedding cake is for Bibliomaniacs :-) Books titles were provided by the couple, I looked for nice font styles and hand painted them on the cakes (now with slight muscle sorness ;) It’s not readable on the picture, but the blue book plate holds the intials of the couple. Cake topper as designed by me and cut from acryl glas. I like the blue transparent material as it looks so light and airy
A client’s photo got designed into an pop-art illustration and then transformed into sugar. Illustration style was inspired by Roy Lichtenstein.
The wedding took place in a castle in Germany right to the Lake of Bodensee. The castle itself dates back to the baroque epoche so the entire event was designed around this. I did aswell the invitation and other print material stuff, organised the event and finally, created the cake for the couple. Colour theme: white, red and gold. Some of the molds where made by me, painted in red and decorated with edible gold leaf. The putti (baby-angels) on the bottom tier come from a new technique I am using with my airbrush. This cake was constructed as double barrel; top tier was chocolate bisquit with raspberry buttercream and fresh raspberries, bottom tier flour-free almond cake with bourbon vanilla cream cheese buttercream. Hope you all like it.
The title of the pictures describes it in all. Wanted to reuse some leftover violett sugarpaste, finally get my hand on sugarlace and contrast it with gold.
Inspired by Diane von Fürstenbergs clutch, I developed my initial attraction into a cake design
8" double barrel and hand-painted sugar-disk as a keepsake
Was asked by Cake Central to create a Bollywood themed cake. I knew that I wanted to include a vintage picture of a Bollywood actress. What I like about this pic is, that she has a very strong look and the hand gesture is a typical indian gesture in conversations. Adapted the picture to fit with the colour theme and added some glitter to highlight her jewellery
This cake was made for the staff of a hospital to say thanks for their care. I think this is a very sweet way of saying thank you. I got free reign from the customer who said ‘a lung cake’. While designing the cake I’ve choosen to go with a anatomical ‘display’ design rather than a ‘real’ organ. When presenting the cake to the staff, they expressed their preference for my design execution.
Why always only giving flowers as a present? Why not as a cake? The picture shows the back and front of the same cake
a client’s request for a pink tree cake with a green elf. Elf is inspired by Carlos Lischetti. Two days later I got a big thank you from the client and saying that the cake still wasn’t eaten. The birthday kid just couldn’t bring herself to ‘destroy’ it…
