Cakes by Narleen Kristel began in 2009, when she offered to bake and design a cake for a good friend's wedding. The cake was hugely complimented both for design and flavor, that she proudly posted one picture onto her facebook page and shortly thereafter, orders came in one after the other... and the rest is history!

barney birthday for xavier...

11.14.10
chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream

this barney cake was ordered by my client laurel for her nephew, xavier's birthday. apparently xavier LOVES barney... and so i created a bright and fun birthday cake for the birthday boy. barney is entirely made out of fondant. i have to admit, i was a little apprehensive about molding the barney out of fondant. i don't have much practice in molding characters... but i think he came out not too shabby! :) laurel said xavier was all smiles and loved it so much... he grabbed barney and ate him while all the adults ate the cake! hahaha... happy birthday xavier!

rockstar...

strawberry supreme with chocolate fudge buttercream

this cake was ordered by my old elementary school friend valerie, who i probably haven't seen in over 15 years! (thanks facebook for reuniting me with many of my old childhood friends!) valerie had seen my cakes on my facebook page and asked me to create a small, simple cake for her boyfriend's birthday. he loves rock music, so we decided to make him a rockstar cake! it's kind of hard to see clearly in the picture, but i used a metallic shimmer on the rock styled font on top of the cake which was cool. val said the cake was a hit! :)

i love lucy...

ferrero rocher cake
chocolate fudge with nutella buttercream

my client ordered this cake for his friend's birthday. the celebrant is a big "i love lucy" fan, so it was perfectly fitting to make a cake in the theme of his favorite classic tv show. the hardest part of this cake was the "i love lucy" text on top of the cake. i had to print out a picture of the text and mold and carve out a replica out of fondant. came out great and was pleased with all the compliments i received by everyone at the party when i delivered the cake.

let's go golfing...

golf themed cake pops
red velvet and cream cheese buttercream cake
dipped in white chocolate

this was ordered by my client stanley, for his friend's birthday party. stanley wanted a golf themed type of cake pop and so i decided to add fondant to each lollipop stick and molded the fondant to form a golf tee! lastly, i added in some green grass and a "happy birthday alan" flag to complete the golf theme. very cute! the client loved it! :)
