OK, so not only is this totally exciting, but I think it FINALLY gives the public an eye opening idea of just how ENDLESS the possibilities are when making a cake! Recently I was interviewed by one of the top blog sites, The Village Voice. During our interview I was asked all about the "hush hush" side of my business, erotic cake making! Take a peak into the stuff I bet you didn't know by

This week's beauty is a huge cake for a very nostalgic 16 year old. When I met with Kimberly and her mom, Kimberly was very clear that she wanted an amazing cake to compliment her 80's themed party. It just so happened that I had a sketch for an 80's themed wedding cake that never happened. Bad news for the couple, but good news for Kimberly. We modified the design to include Mr. & Mrs. Pac

This week's mountain of a cake was actually a hold over from last week. Ironically,we experience a nor'easter (that’s a big *ss snow storm for you warmer climate dwellers) this snow capped master piece had to wait for better weather to make it's debut. This Alpine beauty was cooked up, at the last minute; which seems to be the rule rather than the exception with Cake of the Weeks, by a

Yes! And it's our cake!! The prop department at SNL rocks and evidently they feel the same about us, because they called us again to do a couple of cakes for last week's episode hosted by Jude Law.There are a couple of things that make this SNL job awesome.The first, of course, is being called to have a cake appear on SNL. Also, instead of having to make 3 or 4 gigantic actual cakes, which would

I've notice a trend with rush cakes. They usually end up being the coolest ones. This is in no way and encouragement for clients to wait until the last minute to order thinking they'll get better cakes. This is just an observation & rush fees do apply.This weeks last minute beauty is everyone's favorite trash collecting robot, Wall-E.Wall-E's body is two tiers of lemon cake with lemon

So as you may have guessed by reading my blog, I march to the beat of a slight different drummer. So this week's cake of week is actually a cookie. Thirty cookies to be exact.Last week I got a call from two of the best daughters a father could ask for. Their father was turning 60 and he loves owning and operating several 7 eleven stores. So, as the perfect treat for his celebration they ordered a

This week's beauty was created for very lucky 16 year old celebrating her sweetest birthday in Queens. The theme of the cake was so appropriate because we just had a major snow storm and it was still piled high wherever you went.This cake marked the tail end of my busiest weeks to date: 11 orders! This may not sound like much but I have just these two hands and sometimes my office manager jumps

For the fourth time I was called upon by the awesome prop team at NBC's Saturday Night Live to make a prop cake for this week's show starring... Aston Kutcher!I got the call on Thursday which seems to be my lucky day for last minute cakes.But instead of being called on to make one giant cake, I was asked to make 4!! And they needed to be delivered to NBC Studios by Noon on Saturday! And they need

Well technically this week's cake of the week are actually cupcakes, but these were really cool cupcakes so I thought they deserved some recognition.The client who ordered these cupcakes was having a New York City themed fete and wanted cupcakes depicted an iconic Big Apple structure. Naturally, The Empire State Building was a perfect choice.A few days in advance I made outlines of the famous

This week was apparently baby shower week at Sugar Mama NYC! Clearly, the leader of the bunch was this adorable baby shower cake starring Peaches, the sleeping baby. Yes, I named the rice krispy treat and fondant baby. Thank goodness, I wasn't there when they ate her!The client that ordered this beauty was very adamant about the cake being very cute, making a statement and incorporating all of

If you've never seen My Fair Wedding, it's basically a show where "less design aesthetically inclined" & budget challenged brides get a total celebrity matrimonial makeover 3 weeks before their wedding. If this sounds like you, keep reading. Unfortunately, I'm getting married in Barbados. David, will you come to Barbados!?!

Last Tuesday, The Glenn Beck Show on the Fox News Channel celebrated it's 1st anniversary on the air and called me to make a cake commemorating the occasion.I didn't know much about Glenn Beck other than what I've seen on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report but the producer that ordered the cake provided me plenty of photos and details to create the perfect cake for the occasion.The cake was to
