A Sweet Life Cakery

Ok, so Nicholas had a huge bash this weekend.  He happens to be the son of Ralph Giordano from Giordano's Floral Creations.  My sister is the manager at this floral shop and is so amazingly talented, it blows my mind. 

The cake created for this event was OVER THREE FEET TALL!!!  Whoot-Whoot, Nicholas had a blast at his party and was blown away by the cake because he didn't expect this type of cake.  Dad told me to just do a couple of dice but I couldn't do such a simple cake when I really was given such full freedom to go crazy with my design.  Here is a picture of the cake:

So this was a multi-tiered cake.  The bottom was a poker table, the next tier was a roulette table, the next four tiers were staggered and topsy turvey poker chips, followed by two dice.  The cake had lights that were flashing, fondant poker chips and playing cards.  It was a mammoth cake but it came out really cool.  I have to give credit also to my trusty assistant, Amy, who is such a big help. It's awesome having a second pair of hands to help, especially on such a big project cake.

When you entered the room, it was set up like a Casino Lounge with playing tables and sofas and the perfect lighting. As you entered the ballroom, the place just blew the minds of the guests. There were stations of flowers which were hands down show stoppers. I will post these pictures soon! I can't say enough how talented my sister is. She is an amazing floral designer who has such vision with flowers.
