2009: A Year of cakes for Boys: part 1

At our house, we could have titled this past year,"Boys R Us". Between Star Wars play-dates and pirate birthday parties, somehow word must have gotten out to our clients who all seemed to be celebrating their own amazing boys as well. This 4 foot high monument to the Yankees was made for a truly gorgeous Bar Mitzvah party designed by event planner, Marcy Blum which was held at the new Yankee Stadium.
I was so lucky to enlist the talents of some of my favorite cake makers to help to execute this design, since this was a very last minute order---only one week to do the whole project:LizShim, Mark Randazzo and Dan Pasky & my wonderful extern Kristen Veloria.Kristen's husband Anthony and Patti Paige just stopped by to say hi--- but got put to work instead! A very special thank you to Catherine Leonard photography for being so kind and supportive and letting us use these great photographs of the finished cake!
