Life's a Piece of Cake

Hello all, 

My name is Gabriella Iannuzzi and I would like to introduce to the creative art of baking. I started baking when I was in high school and fell in love with it. As I continued to bake, my skills and creativity grew. I began working with materials such as fondant and gum paste and really began to let the creative juices flow. Unfortunately, I am only able to share 4 of my cakes but I hope you enjoy them. Veterinary school is very tough, and baking allows me to forget it all and just focus on the masterpiece I am trying to create. It may take me hours to complete one cake, but I wouldn't trade the hard work for anything! Hopefully when I retire from being a vet, I will open my bakery =]. 

The pink cake is a cake I made for my cousin's baby shower. I decided to give the cake a tufted look, and for a topper I made adorable little booties (P.S. I sculpted and made each of the flowers attached). The The Hawaiian cake I made for a client's 50th birthday party. All the piping work was done by me and the chocolate seashells. The multi-tiered cake with the different themes was a cake I made for another client's 50th birthday. This cake was my favorite because I had the opportunity to encorporate all of the interests of the client. I also decided to put LED lights in so it lit up in the dark. The little mermaid cake (also a favorite) was for a clients daughter. She loved the little mermaid so I decided to make the cake look as under the sea as possible. Hope you enjoy my cakes =].
