A break from cake

Lola's can do more than cake. My other specialty is fruit and vegetable carvings and displays.

We can set you up with anything your heart desires or your mind can imagine. Anything from towers numerous feet high...

to spreads laid out 8 feet (or more) in length.

From small one piece carvings

and simple trays...

to elegant carvings mixed with fruit, vegetables and cheese tables.

I love it when people get creative with their reception and the food at them. The food and how it is displayed can definately help set the mood and tone of the reception. Tell me what you want and I will work with you to take it a step past what you thought it could be.

It is so fun to work with sugar. Dangerous but fun. Being burned by sugar is like pouring hot lava onto your flesh. I did not have that experience with this cake, thank goodness, but it could have easily happened. This is a delicious New York style vanilla bean cheesecake with a sour cream topping. The topper is spun sugar. It is fun to make because your imagination is your only boundary.

Scuba Cake

My brother is a Scuba Diver and owns a scuba shop. I wanted to do something for him for one of his birthdays that was all about him. So I made him. I made him partially underwater, surfacing after a nice long dive in his wet suit with his snorkle. The entire thing is edible, except for the background.

This cake is actually a very pale pink in color with fresh flowers in purple, pink and white colors in a long cascade winding down the entire length of the cake. The cake is a 5 tier sour cream pound cake with the traditional buter cream frosting. This was a nightmare to decorate. It was in a hot building and was in the summer. The frosting was getting way softer than I like and I was scared but we made it work. You do what you have to do to make things work out and I htink this one did.

Ahhh red roses

This cake is a simple but delicious Sour cream pound cake with a white vanilla buttercream frosting. It is a 3 tiered stacked cake. The bride wanted it to match her bouquet which consisted of red roses, red and white satin ribbon and rhinestones. Each tier has the red dots on it and each tier has ribbon. The bride requested that the bottom and top tier were white satin robbon while the middle tier has red. The rhinestones are a little harder to see as they are laid flat on the top of each tier. I worked ver closely with her florist to accomplish this cake and even did most of te actual decorating at the florist.
