1963' Fiat 1300 Cake

1963’ FIAT 1300: the first car of “Sicily By Car – Auto Europe”, one of the leader company in the rental car. A cake made to celebrate 50 years of business (1963-2013) of Tommaso Dragotto, entrepreneur from Palermo, founder and president of the company. On the sides of the cake are represented some vintage cars and some European cities (Rome, London Paris) where the “Sicily by car – Auto Europe” has its own rental agencies. On the main side is represented the skyline of the city of Palermo and a FIAT 500 pink colored, same color of the soccer team of the city. I realized the car (my first car …) with gum paste looking at photos on the web and it was a hard job but I am quite pleased with the result! I hope you like it! :)

Orlando, Paladin Of The Sicilian Puppet Theater "opera Dei Pupi"

Orlando is the most famous character of the Sicilian puppet theater "Opera dei Pupi". The "Opera dei Pupi", typical of the Sicilian storytelling tradition, is a characteristic theatre where the puppets, manoeuvred by the puppeteers on forefronts appositely created, represent the exploits of the greatest medieval Chevaliers, and in particular the action of Charlemagne and his paladins. I have dedicated this work to my father and to my Sicily! I hope you like it! :)

Sugar Zagara Flowers, The Blossoms Of Citrus Trees

The Zagara, the Sicilian flower par excellence, is the fragant blossom of the citrus trees; the word Zagara derives from Arab terms “zahara” (to shine) and “zahr” (flower). I hand made the Zagara flowers with Sugar Flower Paste after observing the blossoming of a small lemon tree in my terrace in Palermo. And I hung up the sugar flowers at my tree for taking some photos …you can see it! :)

Holidays In ....hawaii! :)

The Tool Box Cake

For the 10th Birthday of my twins…I made all tools by hand with sugar past and pastillage; it was hard but fun, and my kids were happy, and this is the important thing! The first cake (the box) is a “Madeira cake” with double chocolate cream and the othe cake (the wood table) is a classic italian “Pan di spagna cake” with chantilly cream and strawberries.

Bellezza Al Bagno....(Bathing Beauty...)!
