Carrie's Custom Catering & Cakery

This enormous Pirate Shipwreck cake was a labor of love, but it turned out better than perfect! The chocolate cake was carved into shape, frosted with chocolate buttercream, and detailed with many different mediums.  The broken sail masts were sculpted from modeling chocolate, were hand-ringed, and painted with luster dust. The port holes were made from fondant and the railings and posts were made from tootsie rolls. The frosting was planked entirely by hand to give the frosting a fondant look with a buttercream taste. The boulders were made of marbled fondant. Each shell was sculpted by hand from fondant and the pirate flag was also made from fondant. The treasure chest was made of solid chocolate and was adorned with gold and silver non-pariel dragees, as well as gold and silver fondant coins. The gold and silver vases were made from fondant and painted with luster dust.

The birthday girl requested sushi and other Japanese themed foods and decorations. Sushi is fairly labor-intensive, so I left that to the professional sushi chefs. The menu was as follows: Sushi Japanese Kabocha Squash Soup Sesame Soy Edamame Pork Gyoza Chicken Yakitori Skewers Individual Cheesecakes with White Chocolate Ginger Drizzle The sushi was kept cool throughout the party by using a thoroughly cleaned IKEA magnetic board with ice packs underneath. The Kabocha Soup was served "shooter style" and was garnished with chives and a single chive blossom flower.  The Sesame Soy Edamame was lovely in an elevated serving dish. The Pork Gyoza and Chicken Yakitori were kept warm in a heated 3-dish crockpot. The Individual Cheesecakes were served with stabilized whipped cream and a white chocolate ginger ganache drizzled on top. It was an amazing party, filled with lots of laughter and very full tummies!

A moist and rich yellow cake, fragranced with fresh nutmeg and covered in a rum-laced egg nog glaze.

This cake is composed of two large meringue disks, covered in hand-whipped cream and fresh mangos and strawberries.

Technically, not a cake, but lovely and delicious anyway! This sweet bread is made with sour cream and covered in a delicious glaze.

Roasted Banana Bars with Brown Butter Pecan Frosting are a taste explosion!! You will never want another cake in your life. The ties were a delicious buttery shortbread. The toppers were purchased from  http://www.dimpleprints.com  and the printable package came with a myriad of items for the baby shower.
