Lost in the Woods Cake
Three layers of Devil's Food Cake filled and frosted with Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache.
For the invitation, I altered the original poster from the must-see, wonderfully creepy film, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane.
And for the decorations, I whipped out my trusty miniatures to create the a "Lost in the Woods" vignette.
The little house is a bittersweet chocolate I hand-molded, then painted a light in the window with powdered food color.

Cake Thursday, Oct. 8th

The painting in the invite is Spanish Dancer (Woman) by John Singer Sargent. As for the cake, it was tasty, but I do not have any pictures to show. If you're curious, I got the recipe from the wonderful new book, All Cakes Considered.

The King of Pop...
cake that I made for the opening of my close friend's new gallery show.
The cake: two layers of devil's food cake with a glaze of raspberry preserves and chocolate ganache between them. The whole lot was frosted in more ganache and decorated with a silhouette of MJ hand-painted in gold luster dust as well as a single star of gold sanding sugar.
The show is brilliant*, and will up through October at Figureworks Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Alas, all of the cake is long digested.
Check out his facebook page for more info and pictures.
*and I'm not just saying that since he's a friend of mine. Even Spike Lee payed an appreciative, lengthy visit!
