Custom Logo Cookies



These cookies were made using a hand-cut, custom stencil. They're vanilla sugar cookies covered with vanilla rolled fondant.

The background color matches the New York Life logo. The small cookies are marbled fondant with piped royal icing letters.

Thankful Gifts!


These 3 "gifts" and the accompanying cupcakes were made for a reception at Plymouth Church. The theme of the annual stewardship campaign was "Gifts" and these cakes were made to represent the new logo of the stewardship committee.

The largest cake is pumpkin spice with cheescake filling. The blue cake is chocolate brownie cake with caramel ginger filling and the purple cake is lemon with peach passion fruit filling. All are covered in borderless rolled fondant with handmade gum paste bows. The cupcakes are pumpkin and lemon with buttercream icing tinted to match the fondant counterparts.

125 & Going Strong!


Willoughby Hills Friends Church celebrated its 125th birthday with this HUGE cake--the largest horizontal cake I've done to date!


The custom designed cake board was cut from a 31 inch square, covered with Fall themed paper, and embellished with orange satin ribbon and green pearl headed pins.


The 190 serving cake was composed of 3 different flavors: white almond sour cream with mocha mousse filling, milk chocolate with oreo mousse filling, and yellow buttermilk with black raspberry preserves. The icing was homemade buttercream. The Bible verses decorating the cake were piped in buttercream tinted in Fall colors. The church logo was hand piped on a gum paste plaque.


All I can say is, "Thank heaven for double doors!"--or we'd have never gotten this behemoth out of the house or into the church!
