Lolli Flower Bouquets

For a First Communion party last weekend, we had a client request "Lolli Bouquets." When we met to discuss what she wanted, I was thinking our traditional "lolli bouquets" which you have seen many times on this site - but NO! The client smiled and tilted her head and said "Well you do flower bouquets, right?!" (Yes) "So - I want flowers and lollis together for the center of the tables!"

Never one to say no to a challenge - I said yes and figured we would figure it out. Luckily for me, Jean the Supreme was visiting for the weekend - so I put her in charge of the flowers. I was thrilled with the result, as was the client. Somehow I have the feeling we will be doing these again!

Where have I been?!?

That is a very good question. Absent! Busy baking lollis! It was a crazy, insane, but very successful holiday season. ~ 2000 lollis - lots of flour, sugar, butter, eggs, chocolate and lollipop sticks! Thank you to everyone who ordered and enjoyed our lollis. In my next post I will share some of the wonderful comments we received in response to our lolli shipments. Our website is almost ready - coming soon to a computer near you. Watch for the announcement!


These assorted beauties went into some of our Thanksgiving bouquets


Teacups made for a special event Langham Hotels International held in NYC to celebrate the grand reopening of the Langham London


Hmmm. What could these chocolate turkeys have been for? Thanksgiving! Chocolate lollis with colored licorice for the tail feathers, chocolate fondant heads and a small piece of licorice for the waddle. YUM


My son said - "Mom, Thanksgiving isn't just about turkey - IT IS ABOUT FOOTBALL!" - so I made some footballs as well. I think this design will also come in handy for the SUPERBOWL. Don't you?!

A Magical Birthday

This birthday cake was created for someone who loves all things Disney. It featured Tinkerbell (created from gumpaste) sitting on top of a large flower. The cake was Best Ever Vanilla with raspberry cream filling. The vines on the cake were painted with gold flecked luster dust to give them a little shine.



These cupcake lolli bouquets featured yellow, pink and orange flowers to mimic the Gerber Daisy bouquets at the bridal shower. Each guest was given a cupcake lolli as their favor.

Congratulations & Farewell!

Congratulations Cara! This cake was created for a combination graduation and going away party (what a great idea!) The three layers were all I Remember Chocolate with different filling - chocolate, coffee and raspberry. The flowers on the top and sides were made with gumpaste.

Football and Whimsical Pink & Green

This cake was for a 9 year old who wanted a football cake. I decided a NY Giants football helmet was the way to go... my husband walked in and said "wow, that's a cool cake.... I thought they like the Jets." At which point I almost had a nervous breakdown. I made a phone call, felt relieved and poured myself a celebratory glass of wine. It was the correct team!




A whimsical "50" for an al fresco birthday dinner. The only thing that the birthday girl said she wanted was one of my cakes! I was very honored! The cake was "I remember chocolate" with a German Chocolate pecan and coconut filling. Decor was green and pink whimsy!



This "Best Ever Vanilla" was a surprise for a birthday girl returning home from college for the summer. It featured hot pink flowers with light pink centers and green foliage. Happy Birthday Amanda!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

I couldn't decide how to decorate this cake - the birthday girl gave me a list of colors she liked and told me she wanted a bow on the top. The rest was for me to decide! In my struggle, I glanced down at the cupcake liners and voila! The cake is "I Dream of Chocolate" with a raspberry buttercream center, the cupcakes are "Chocolate Brownie" with mint buttercream, and "Oh Sweet Vanilla" with vanilla buttercream.
