Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend!




This cake was for a 21st Birthday party at the Chi Lounge in Long Island, NY. The theme of this very pink cake was "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend", because the birthday girl loves Marilyn Monroe and the color pink. We drew inspiration from the dress worn in the movie and this is the result.


When we met with this client she said "The more bling, the better!", so we made sure to add as much as we could fit in. There were clear swarovski crystals on the pink "21" that topped this topsy turvy cake, and pink crystals highlighted her name on the front. They were also on the square brooches on the dark pink bands on each tier that mimic the belt on Ms. Monroe's iconic pink dress.


Spilling out from the tiers where they tilt over are sugar diamonds ranging in color from clear to dark pink, the biggest one sitting on top with the 21. More crystals highlighted the diamonds just to add a little more bling! Finally, to bring more of the dress onto the cake, there was a huge dark pink sugar bow on the back held in place with a rhinestone pick-bling!
