Hugh and Alex surprised me with this beautiful cake this past weekend in honor of my birthday. The cake was baked and created by Niko from Niko's Cakes in Salem, Massachusetts. Previously, Niko worked for the Cake House in Brookline and Marblehead. A few years ago, he opened his own bakery on Route 114 in Salem. Niko is one of the nicest people you will meet----a very genteel and humble man with an incredible talent! His sense of color and style is simply beautiful.
A closer look at the level of detail---the flowers were magnificent. The two toned roses are divine! They look so real.
Check out the artistry of the leaves-----the texture is remarkable.
Having a cake like this makes one almost forget about getting older!

This looks delicious. Was it sugar frosting? I love me some sugar. Amazing detail.
The cake is chocolate, the filling espresso mocha and the frosting and all the flowers was the most amazingly delicious buttercream! That is what makes it so incredible---usually cake decorators make the flowers out of sugar and place them on the cake. Niko forms them right on the cake out of buttercream, which is not an easy feat! Next time you come to Boston we will get you a Niko cake!
