Baby Shower Duck Cake

This baby shower cake was designed after the party plates & napkins which became the theme of the client's whole party. On top there is a stitched baby duck, and inside the cake had alternating layers of chocolate and madagascar vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream filling throughout.

Twin Bar Mitzvahs!

This cake was created to celebrate the Bar Mitzvahs of twin boys, Zach & Jacob. It featured their replicated tennis rackets along with several tennis balls that went around the cake decorated to look like a tennis court. The chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filled cake was delivered to Slate in NYC.

Sushi Cake

We were asked to recreate a sushi cake the client had gotten previously, except with different sushi pieces on top, to celebrate a 40th birthday. The inside of the cake was red velvet with raspberry buttercream filling. Here are the results including chopsticks, orange caviar sushi & spicy tuna rolls made of sugar :o)

Alice in Wonderland Inspired Cake!

This cake was inspired by Tim Burton's recent interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. It features Absolem, the caterpillar sitting atop a mushroom with his hookah. Underneath that are some shorter mushrooms, "talking" roses, fiddlehead ferns and the mad hatter's hat- all replicated from the movie.

This was Cathy's entry for the sculpted cakes category at the Atlantic Baking Expo this past weekend and there was alot of stiff competition that had us worried! She ended up not placing in this category, but we were completely excited when they announced that she had won Best in Show instead!

In the story of the movie, Alice returns to Wonderland years after her first visit and everything and everyone is older and somewhat tattered by what has happened since Alice left. This accounts for why the faces of the caterpillar and roses look so worn and aged. All of the decorations were modeled out of fondant and gumpaste.

We at Jacy Cakes are huge Tim Burton fans so we

are always happy to get to create something as an homage to his work. Once we saw this movie, there was no doubt that it would be a huge source of inspiration for future cake art projects!

Marriage Equality Wedding Cake

We at Jacy Cakes are avid supporters of equal rights, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to provide a fantasy wedding cake to be on display at a recent NGLCC NY Shining Stars event for Marriage Equality that took place at Slate in NYC.

We were asked to create an all white traditional wedding cake with a modern twist, along with a double sided topper that had two brides on one side and two grooms on the other.

This topsy turvy cake had piping of the marriage equality logo, highlighted in silver, with swirls & tiny dots on either side of it on alternating tiers. The other tiers were covered in very thin fondant strings. In between the main tiers were separators covered in different sized white roses and rose buds.

The topper featured two beautiful brides, whose dresses were loosely based on what the fabulous Ellen & Portia wore on their wedding day. On the other side of the topper were two grooms wearing tuxedos, one with tails and one without. Between the grooms and brides was a fondant swirl wall which mimicked the swirls on the cake. The fun factor to this cake came into play when we turned on the spinning top tier, giving both couples a chance to be showcased with the front of the cake.

To accompany this cake, we provided 300 vanilla, chocolate and red velvet cupcakes with assorted flavored buttercreams of raspberry, cream cheese, chocolate and peanut butter. These were in the theme of the "Shining Stars" aspect of the event, so they were topped with fondant decorations of champagne bottles, stars, sunglasses, bow ties, pearl necklaces & Wisp Toothbrushes, which were provided in everyones swag bags by Colgate, an event sponsor.

Gluten Free Dahlia Wedding Cake

We recently created this Gluten Free wedding cake for a couple that had their reception at Harvest on Hudson in NY. They asked us to recreate their "Q&M" logo, in addition to a double happiness symbol & wedding birds to go on the cake along with some dahlias. The whole cake has a red & gold color scheme to match the colors of the wedding. We just received their review of this cake & a gluten free cake we delivered to them the week before their wedding & were so happy to read what they had to say!

"Jacy Cakes provided two gluten free cakes for us and they were not only delicious but beautiful. The first was a gluten free chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream and it was for our siblings’ anniversary. The cake was moist which is very hard to do with gluten free flours and the butter cream was so good – nice and fluffy. The decorations:, one dog in a top hat and another in a veil holding a sign; was very detailed. Our siblings loved the cake. The second cake was our wedding cake and we were worried they may not be able to replicate our ‘logo’ in the wedding invitation style, or the wedding birds or the double happiness. BUT, they did and it looked beautiful. The cake was also delicious. This time it was a gluten free vanilla cake with chocolate filling and fondant. Overall we were very happy; they delivered on time to our apt and to the restaurant. We would definitely use them again.

Baptism Cross Cake

This client asked for a very simple cake so that she wouldn't feel guilty cutting into it, but her 1 request was that we replicate the cross party favor she would be giving out at the party to have on the cake. The cross on the cake was made with fondant to look as exact as possible, and it was highlighted with swarovski crystals to mimic those found in the real cross. Here are close up pics of the real cross (on the left) & the fondant replicated cross (on the right).





We heard from the client a few days afterwards & she said the cake was not only delicious, but she was very happy with the overall reaction of her guests, which was that of disbelief that the cross on the cake was not actually a favor that was placed on the cake. We are happy we were able to able to successfully carry out her request!
