I have already failed on my New Year's resolution to write more frequent blog postings but I have a good excuse. My assistant Lauren and I are off to Denver, Colorado tomorrow to participate in one of the biggest Food Network Challenges ever! I can't really tell you too much more then that but you will have to catch it on the Food Network when it airs this spring.
In the meantime besides shipping A LOT of cake and all of our equipment out to Denver we were busy do a demo at ICE, completing cakes and teaching too. I also had a chance to kick-off the Lower East Side Girls Club cupcake-of-the-month. Last week I headed down to The Sweet Things Bakeshop and we created a snowball cupcake for the month of January.
The last cake we did went out yesterday for a little boy's first birthday party. The theme of the party was from the movie Finding Nemo and the cake was created using some of our favorite cake recipes, Red Velvet Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Banana Cake filled with Chocolate Ganache.
I am also excited to tell you about two upcoming classes. I am spending a weekend in Austin, Texas the end of February as a judge and teacher at That Takes The Cake, Sugar Art Show and Cake Competition. I'll be teaching how to make our sushi cake and demoing a gift box cake.
In May I will be flying to Toronto to teach a class at Flour Confections. You can sign up here.
So we are off, wish us luck!

Bravo, Elisa! Do you know how much I love Nemo?! So cute. You are such an amazing artist and your challengers won't know what hit them... good luck!
WOW!!!
This cake is wonderful! Great job really nailing the characters. I hate when they don't look like whomever they are supposed to be.
Oh, how I wish I could afford a cake from you for my daughter's first birthday!
Whoa! You are incredibly talented with fondant! I cannot believe how realistic the turtle looks!
