Wii Cake on WiiNoob Blog

We had the immense pleasure of being included in the WiiNoob blog for our Wii cake. WiiNoob is a fantastic blog about not only the Wii system, but practically everything to do with Nintendo--from reviews of new games and accessories to reader-submitted Nintendo art and crafts! It's an amazing blog and we are so excited to be included! Thanks to Eran from WiiNoob for all his amazing work! Check out WiiNoob HERE!

Mini Fashionista

elainecake1

Last week we decided to surprise a good friend of Jacy Cakes who has helped us out so much, with a cake to say Thank You & Happy Birthday!! Elaine is always super sleek and fashionable, so it was a lot of fun to make a tiny version of her covered in her favorite accessories, including a newsie cap, gold hoop earrings and a scarf. Sitting next to her is a replica of an Aldo bag we thought she might like that fit her style. The cake was red velvet- her favorite- with raspberry buttercream filling, and we hope it satisfied her cake fix, for the week anyways :o)
To see close ups of this or any other figure you see on a cake, please look at the picture gallery under the "Our Specialties: Sugar Figurines/ Flowers" section of our website.

Hydrangea Class


I was asked to teach a hydrangea class for the NJ Decorator's club in August, but the class filled up so quickly that we added a second one in September! Here is a mix of pictures from both classes. Thanks to all the talented ladies who took the class, and thanks also to my lovely assistant Joshua :o)

Fashion Night Out in New York City!

Cathy and I are both huge fans of Project Runway and we love anything related to fashion. We were asked to participate in New York City's annual Fashion Night Out, in which many of the city's fashion designers and retailers stay open for extended hours to give their customers a glamorous and elite shopping experience, all while collecting clothing and donations for the NYC AIDS Fund. We were honored to donate hundreds of these fashion-inspired mini cupcakes to the event. Unfortunately, neither of us was able to attend any of the festivities, but we hear the city was buzzing through the night!

This post is long overdue, but a few months back Cathy was asked to teach a class on how to make a fancy fondant lady for the NJ Cake Decorators Club & she had a great time! Here are some of the fancy ladies & their talented creators. Thanks to all the ladies for making it such a successful first class :o)

Small Works, Big Idea!



Jacy Cakes artwork was on display for the "Small Works, Big Idea" exhibition at the APW Gallery in L.I.C., NY this weekend. The theme of our pieces was of course Cake, Art, Fusion & here are just a few pictures from that night. Thanks to those of you who came out to see what we made, and for the well wishes sent to us from our out-of-towner friends- hopefully you"ll be in town for the next one!
