My name is Ashlee Perkins, and welcome to my new blog, Nantucket Blue. I am a recent graduate of SCAD with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts, and I also just so happen to make cakes once in a while!
Let's get you caught up. Here are a few cakes that I've whipped up in my time at Minette Rushing's Custom Cakes of Savannah.
Let's start off with my crowning glory. A turkey cake for a celebrity client.

An edible helicopter for a Savannah airman. This cake was a blast to create!

This owl is one of my personal favorites. The client instructed us to create an owl in brown and teal - the rest was up to me! I got to use my creative freedom and artistic license to make this beauty.

Here's a viking ship we did as a groom's cake for a recent wedding. This cake utilized my new knowledge of modeling chocolate - a new favorite technique for me!

A groom's cake for the general manager of The Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant - a local favorite!). Here you can really see evidence of my cartooning background!

And here's some evidence of my painting background! An "Apple" logo cake for an Apple employee!
