My name is Lisa Michele, and these are just a few of the various cakes I've created over the past few years.  The photos aren't great, but what can you expect from a disposable camera?  I use real sweet cream butter, top quality chocolates, and the freshest ingredients available -- everything is created from scratch.  I'm hoping to go into business soon, so If you see anything you like, or have a vision of something you would like, please don't hesitate to contact me, as anything goes! No dessert too big or small, and I love a creative challenge.  I will be adding more photos, so check back often!

French Yule Log
Click on some of the photos for a larger view.
My annual Christmas treat, the french yule log cake called 'Buche De Noel''. I make a different version of this every X-mas. Chocolate hazelnut ganache filling -- frosted with milk chocolate ganache.  Surrounded by meringue mushrooms -- some against a chocolate 'piece of bark'.  Colored cream cheese frosting for the holly and berries (done with  a toothpick as I couldn't find my pastry bags!) Powdered sugar snow.
Valentine cake reversed.  4 layer yellow cake, each layer slathered with fudge frosting.  REALLY red raspberry buttercream and rolled fondant hearts decorate the cake.
7layer before gold dust Everything's better with a bonnet on it!
  I saw Jacques Torres make this Easter bonnet cake, and I had to try it!  Sticky fingers picked off some of the white chocolate coating before I could take the pic! Homemade, colored, white chocolate dough to make the leaves, sash and flowers. Tempered belgian white chocolate base, white cake split into 4 layers and filled with lemon curd and raspberry mousse -- then frosted with white buttercream and coated with tempered belgian white chocolate.
7 layer yellow 'rectangle' cake, cut from one 8-inch square cake, filled with alternating layers of raspberry jam, and white chocolate ganache lightened with whipped cream.  Decorated with gold luster dust, basket weave piping along each side. Blue shaded flowers accented with gold.  Unfortunately, this is only one of two photos that came out somewhat  ok.
Strawberries take their place on the creamy dance floor
the sweet essence of almond pairs really well with raspberry
Almond paste laced cake batter, split into 4 layers, then filled with raspberry preserves and an Amaretto Italian Meringue buttercream. Frosted and 'dotted' with the Amaretto buttercream.
Birthday cheesecake for my sister.  Belgian white chocolate cheesecake, toasted macadamia nut-graham cracker crust, baked in a water bath, then decorated with belgian dark chocolate, and strawberries in their belgian chocolate tuxedos. (again, I had to use a toothpick, this time to decorate the cake and berries).  By the way, writing with melted chocolate, on a cold surface - NOT a good idea! LOLigh*)
Strawberry shortcake, cream on top....
White Christmas
White Buche de Noel.  This was a rush job, hence the mess. Chocolate genoise lightly brushed with a kirsch simple syrup. White chocolate mousse filling and frosting.  Belgian dark chocolate holly leaves, silver dragee berries and decor.  Light cocoa powder dusting on cake and meringue mushrooms.
Strawberry Shortcake 'cake'.  4 layers, each lightly brushed with framboise, then a layer of strawberry jam, macerated, sliced strawberries, and lightly sweetened chantilly cream.  Chantilly cream basket weave piping around the cake, topped with chantilly cream rosettes and loads of white and milk chocolate dipped strawberries.
