A reward for studying hard
Since Estrella has been burning the candle at both ends, trying to finish her studies while making cakes and taking care of the family, we (her husband Jorge and I) decided to make her birthday cake look like her text books. Everything is edible, from the Post-it to the eraser and pencil! Devil's Food Chocolate cake filled with Swiss Almond Meringue Buttercream, Bing Cherries and Crushed Almonds, for 15 people, €65

mini-heart
One of the little girls that was attending a friend's birthday party is celiac, so I made her a special mini-cake of her own. It's a flourless Dark Chocolate cake (using Almond Meal instead of flour) with Marshmallow Fondant. This size cake would also be a good option for an intimate anniversary celebration, as it's just the right size for 2 people.

Dancing in the Fountain
This cake was definitely our biggest challenge yet, but one that we thoroughly enjoyed! The cake was to celebrate my friend Karen McCann's book, called Dancing in the Fountain. Initially we were going to just make the book cover, but when she sent us more pictures of the fountain where the cover was shot, we both agreed that we really wanted to make the whole fountain! EVERYTHING is edible, including the shoes and the flower pot. The cake is Devil's Food Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream Filling and Coconut Marshmallow Fondant. It was for 30 people. €200
Here'a a link to Karen's book:
