I do actually make them. It’s a compulsion. Although I did recently discover some excellent vegan recipes using ingredients like beets. I did this non-vegan one for my sister’s engagement brunch in NYC:
Here is the cake I made for Darla Berry and Peter Turner in Feb. 2009:
The "Gehry Cake" - Peter Turner, groom
Adorned with Arnosky Farms’ amazing flowers, this cake was among my all time favorites. The top layer was gluten-free and the filling was vanilla, marzipan and Harvest Time Farmstand strawberry jam.
In September 2009 I made ANOTHER colleague’s cake: Val Morrow.
Val and Fede, September 2009
All the single ladies...
I began freezing Lightsey peaches for this cake in summer. The happy couple chose organic vanilla-bean buttercream with a dash of peach brandy. Zing!
If you’d be interested in having a custom cake designed from an idea in your head or based on an image you’ve seen please contact me via comments field. I also offer locally-sourced dinners for special occasions, prepared in one’s home with suggested wine pairings. Small-scale catering is also available, given at least one month advance notice. Contact me below for seasonal sample menus.
I love the Gehry cake! I’m a caker, too, although motherhood insinuates itself between me and my dulcet dreams!
Love the blog! The cakes are beautiful
They actually do cake pulls in New Orleans, too. A thimble for the old maid, an anchor for travel, four leaf clover for money, etc..Great seeing you last night and congrats on the book! I need to start brainstorming to come up with a recipe to give you inspired by the Austin farmer’s market…hhhmm
