About Starlight Custom Cakes

I love making wedding and special occasion cakes as well as sculpted cakes and when the first snowflakes of the season start to fly, the cakes have to share my studio space with gingerbread structures of all sizes and shapes! I have been so fortunate to be able to travel throughout the United States in order to study under some of the most gifted and talented master sugar artists in this field such as Chef Nicolas Lodge, Bronwen Weber, Mike McCarey and many others. There are so many new products and techniques being introduced all the time that designing and decorating cakes really has become an edible art!

Sculpted cakes are exciting to make and each one normally takes on a life of it's own! There are two types of sculpted cakes that I make. One type is built on a pipe like structure and can stand anywhere from two to three feet high. One of the photos in the photo gallery on this site reflects a two and a half foot high Santa cake. These cakes are not available through a standard type bakery and very few people offer these because of the degree of difficulty, but they are one of my favorites and become a focal point at every gathering. The entire sculpture is made from cake, chocolate and covered and finished with fondant before adding all the details that make each one magical! These types of cakes can be made into any type of figure or animal, such as a clown, a symphony conductor, a chef, an Easter rabbit etc. They are only limited by ones imagination!

Depending on the size of your business or personal gathering, you may opt to have a cake with a sculpture of some type that sits on top of a cake to be served. For instance, I am currently making a reproduction of an antique automobile using edible rice krispie treats and chocolate and will be covered with fondant before adding the final details. This reproduction car will be placed on top of another cake to be served. Wine bottles, beer bottles or just about any type of glass bottle can be reproduced by making silicone molds and pouring isomalt sugar. These bottles look exactly like the real bottles and most people have to actually touch them before realizing that they really are made from sugar! Edible labels that are printed on edible paper can be reproduced to replicate any type of business label. Again, there is no end to the possibilities of what can be created!
