Birch Tree Wedding Cake
Hello 2016! And what better way to start the new year than with a rustic, winter-themed New Year's Day wedding cake. Frosted berries, chocolate pinecones (I'm sure they tasted amazing) and a stunning magnolia blossom all came together to accent the three, hand-painted birch tree tiers. With each tier boasting it's own flavor, (Chocolate Cake with Mocha Buttercream, French Vanilla Cake with Amaretto Buttercream and Carrot Cake with French Vanilla Buttercream), all the guest were sure to find something they loved. Congratulations Elaine and Ryan!
EDIT: A tutorial is available for the Birch Tree Texture and Chocolate Pinecones!

Watering Can Cake
What better way to celebrate an avid gardener's 75th birthday than with a watering can cake full of beautiful sugar flowers. This was a sweet little cake for an intimate gathering, with an even sweeter interior of french vanilla cake and strawberry buttercream. Yum!
Bespoke Wine Bottle Cake
This was such an awesome request. Ms. Bair, the birthday girl (who just turned fifty) has always dreamed of starting her own wine label, she even has a name picked out—Two Bairs! Her friends and family, wanting to surprise her with an edible version of what that dream could look like, contacted us to make the magic happen.
This cake started long before we began baking. First we designed a custom company logo, then we created a fun wine label with two dancing bears that could be replicated on edible paper. Then we baked. And the rest is just a little cake we threw together with epic results (did we mention that it's 100% edible?!) Oh, and we also made some gorgeous sugar grapes. But don't let their healthy appearance fool you, this cake was sheer indulgence...rich chocolate cake, and decadent chocolate mousse topped with chocolate ganache...but you only turn fifty once, right?!
Fifty Shades of Blush Cakes
Our client for this blushing trio is a wedding planner (OMG, no pressure)…so we knew that this bridal shower was going to be, not only beautiful, but trendsetting. And whoa...were we right or what?! With the event affectionately christened Fifty Shades of Blush, we set out to create a set of cakes that would live up to the name. We kept it feminine—gorgeous flower details, intricate petal work and hand-painted, custom lettering. Add a little tailored ribbon for that parisian flair and a sprinkling of glittery gold, and we ended up delivering three delectable creations that are totally blush-worthy. Be sure to check out the event pictures over on Style Me Pretty.

"Affectionately called Fifty Shades of Blush, the brand new Silver Oaks Chateau provided the perfect backdrop for a Parisian-style, open flower market [bridal shower]. The blush and gold tones of the cakes by De la Creme Studio pulled together the tablescape and were just as sweet as the stationery by Paperkeet."

Stunning Louis Vuitton Cake
Louis Vuitton is all about fabulous style, and here at De la Creme Creative Studio, fabulous is what we specialize in. So when we were approached to create a stunning cake for a glamorous event, we pulled out all the stops!! No expense was spared for Kymberly's birthday bash at Scape Bistro and "Fabulous Style" was the buzz word of the night. From the stunning venue and the decadent floral arrangements to the three-tier, chocolate and caramel, LV luggage set cake (which we happened to create), guests were surrounded by luxury and we were more than thrilled to be a part of it...
(Also, any time I get to set up a cake on a gold, glittery tablecloth, I do a little happy dance in my head).
Double Helix Showstopper Cake
Can you create a show-stopping, three-dimensional, double helix cake that stands over six feet tall? Our response…"Sure!!" I'm not saying it was easy, but we certainly delivered everything that Washington University asked for when they commissioned a cake to celebrate the dedication of The Elizabeth H. and James S. McDonnell, III McDonnell Genome Institute.
When on display in the airy foyer of the Eric P. Newman Education Center, the spirals on the double helix reached a staggering 6.5 feet!!

Months of meticulous planning resulted in a flawlessly, executed cake that (we believe) entitles us to an honorary, structural engineering degree. Above Left: Photo courtesy of Beaven Photography. Check out the video below to see what happens when you rotate the cake…my inner geek is jumping up and down saying "Whoa…that's sooo cool!!!"
Harry the Bunny Cake
Meet Harry the Bunny, the edible cake topper. Question...why make him edible when he's too cute to eat?!
Ariel's Gift
The ever-charismatic Sebastian, surprises Ariel with a pile of prettily-wrapped gifts in this Little Mermaid-inspired birthday cake. Classic white cake with vanilla buttercream, and of course, a matching set of vanilla swirl cupcakes, each with a beach themed topper to go along with it. I'm not sure what I love more, Sebastian or the cute, little gifts!
Gold, Glittery, Graduation Cake
This week we are celebrating Precious, who just graduated from University!! After putting in all that hard work, she deserved every inch of this towering cake of decadent, glitzy gold. And at her request, we crowned this little beauty with a hand-sculpted, edible, Lindenwood Lion Mascot topper. We knew this cake had to be fabulous, and nothing says luxury-glam like black and gold. So from the sketch through the planning and production stages, we were channeling our inner diva and adding details like glittery gold dots, shimmery gold stripes, deep tufted quilting and a precious metal monogram (sorry, could resist the pun) :-)
Measuring in at just under two feet tall, this four-tier marble cake arrived looking like it was born to party...Work it, you gorgeous thing!! And once again, congratulations Precious. Xx
