Diesal Cake


What a fun cake. Bodybuilders atop this traditional wedding cake. It was a lot of fun but also very challenging making the fondant toppers with some muscle definition.

Wedding Au Natural



What I like most about this cake is how it is not perfect yet beautiful. One of the guests commented how the cake looks like it was made of stone. I think of it as a sculpture too. The flowers are frangipani made of gumpaste. I then hand painted them in the colors the bride and groom wanted. The branches are made out of floral wire and covered in brown floral tape. This was my first request for an imperfect cake. I hope more clients will see that a smooth icing finish can be just as stunning as a rough one.

Floating Tiers



This cake was a white chocolate mousse filled white cake. I used white chocolate fondant to cover these cakes and piped a design with royal icing. Some red fondant flowers were added for fun. I enjoyed this cake because it was my first floating tiers wedding cake.

Summer Weddings


July really got off to a great start. First a wonderful fireworks display in Spotsylvania and time spent with the family. This month I am fully booked with weddings for wonderful clients. I am so happy for them all. What I loved so much about this wedding was the flowers provided by Kari from Garden Heirlooms. Flowers always puts me in a great mood. Too bad I can't share the wonderful perfumed scents coming from the flowers. 

The cake topper was put together by Kari, what a wonderful job. The cake is all Red Velvet with a Swiss merengue buttercream.

Happy Graduation All Class of 2011





This was an order for a very special customer. She was actually one of my first customers when I started Bonn Boni 4 years ago. I was thrilled when she asked me to make cupcakes for her sons graduation. We incorporated things her son liked on his own special cake. Everything was handmade and edible. Flavors included my moist yellow cake and scrumptious red velvet. She also asked for some toasted pecans to be added on some of the red velvets. I must say it really is delicious and I will be offering it as an option for all my red velvets.  
The cupcakes were delivered to Carmines in DC.

From Fredericksburg with love,


Bonn Boni

Spring Weddings

I am really loving the color combination of this cake. It is my favorite yet. The cake was meant to match the invitations as much as possible (see my facebook page for the invite picture with the cake). The ribbons were provided by the bride so she made it easy for me, although she did give me different ones to combine together. The entire cake was a marble cake with my yummy swiss merengue buttercream. The couple told me how much they & the guests loved it. I can not ask for anything more because my clients happiness is my happiness :)

Cupcake in a Cake

I need to thank the client on this one for giving me the freedom within the  cupcake theme to create it. The birthday girls colors were light colors. Each tier has delicious icing covered in sprinkles. Of course my favorite part is the cherry on top.
