Chef Castillo Fuentes CAKES

When the decks by were sent to us, the theme immediately sent us over to an alien world and we tried hard to imagine what it would be like to be there, to see, feel and experience the surface of the planet of Pandora, the fictional world from ‘s movie avatar.

Everything on this cake was painstakingly handpainted, from the textures of the cake surface to every bit of detail. Gradient of warm colors and hombres make everything look as if they’re glowing or moving. Swirls of texture made of fondant inspired by the sculptural works of and various mycorhizzal mushroom elements.

We also borrowed several exotic earth flora to represent the flowers of pandora, namely sarracenia (north carolina pitcher plant), stapelia leendertziae, calathea, Tacca subflabellata, Tacca chantrierii, and dendrobium flowers.

Spark lights were added to further create interest and represent the seeds of Eywa, the biological sentient guiding force of life, the deity of the Na’vi.

This gravity defying floating illusion starty night themed cake for our lovely debutante today at for

Another Rapunzel themed cake this time for our long time client they’ve been with us for such a long time that we decided to surprise them, what should have been a 2ft tall cake for her daughter Reese turned into a 4ft tall castle. The sundrop flower is the focal point of this cake, made glowing by the addition of led rice lights. Makes you want to sing an incantation all night long ❤️

Details

The theme was bridgerton, motif were pastels, we wanted to be true to the edwardian era, the so called golden era for british opulence, so we kept to flowers that were not only popular but were status symbols during the time. Caladium leaves or angel wings were extremely popular duriun the victorian age, discovered in the 1770’s they were symbols of luxury and wealth due to their rarity many color forms abound, but we selected 4 varieties for their color, painstakingly recreated by handpainting wafer paper, these edible caladiums added whimsy and drama to the cake. Typical english flowers common to their kitchen gardens like roses, cosmos, peonies, arctic poppies and dahlias give the cake an ethereal yet substantial volume that only english garden flowers can bring, the addition of paphiopedilum flowers in green and claret add a touch of luxury and exotic beauty to an already decadent cake.

Those cute little jeepneys are ❤️❤️❤️

Fiesta never looked this colorful or this good, we really went overboard with the colors of this, mixing warm and cool colors accented by gold. Handpainting all over, including that very time consuming, very labor intensive third tier level, decorated in yakan fabric weave print. Very cute jeepney frontals as well as higantes decorate the first and the last tier, pennants and flags as well as wafer paper hibiscus finish the cakes’ details. Created for Elio’s first birthday and christening, the son of HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY ELIO!! May your life be blessed, and may you always be happy healthy and wealthy! God bless you and your family always ❤️
