Halloween is a thrilling time for us at CMNY.  Here's another Halloween themed cake we did this past week.  With marbleized fondant at the base, and an airbrushed pumpkin cake sitting on top, this cake was as exciting to create as it is to look at!  Don't be frightened by our ghosts; they're friendly, and tasty too! [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Pumpkin Cake"][/caption] This spooky cake was picked up from our bakery location in Nassau County, Long Island (located on Hempstead Tpke in Levittown, NY).   No spiders were harmed in the making of this cake!

Here's a castle cake we recently made. The client wanted us to make sure that the name "Farishta" was prominently displayed on the bottom tier. The bottom tier was what could be considered a half tier, since it's not the height of a "normal" tier. The flavor of the cakes were our popular vanilla butter cake, and the client decided to go with different fillings for each of the tiers. From top to bottom, the fillings were cookies and cream, mocha buttercream, white chocolate mousse (good choice!), and vanilla meringue buttercream, respectively. Additionally, adorned on the tiers were soft pink butterflies.  Each turret or tower has lavender conical roofs.

As the NFC Championship game approaches tomorrow, our client decided to have a NY Giants helmet cake as a 30th birthday cake. What a perfect cake for a G-Men fan! Now let's hope the Giants win the game tomorrow... [caption id="attachment_373" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="New York Giants Football Helmet Cake"][/caption]

I just got contacted by a casting agent regarding a new TLC show! They are casting for women between the age of 17 to 40, for a "fashion-y makeover show". They are "seeking women in the TRi-state area (or those who will be willing to travel to NYC in February/March 2012) to appear on a new Major Cable Network show from BBC Worldwide that will help women embrace their curves and look their best inside and out. This is not a paid opportunity but it promises to be fun and informative. Looks great on a resume too!" So if anyone is interested, you can send us a message and we'll forward you some information.

We've been doing a lot of cakes shaped into cars, sometimes three in a week!  And we've got so many car cakes to display, we thought we'd post some of the most successful cakes in one no-nonsense post.  They're in no particular order, except somewhat randomized to keep the car cakes fresh.  Here goes: [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="A black Ford F-150 Pickup Truck Cake with groom-to-be poking his head out of the window, and dogs in the open cab"][/caption] [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Lime green Lamborghini Murcielago cake with as much detail as I could possible add.
