We believe your wedding cake can be the visual and culinary centerpiece of your wedding reception and, as such, should exceed all your expectations. The Mischief Maker elevates details and customization over mass production and cutting corners. While many other professional cake makers place more importance on standardization, leaving their most detailed work for periodicals and competition, we believe our best work should always be the work we deliver for your special day. One-on-one consultation, custom color palettes and the highest ingredient standards are just where we start. It’s our pain-staking attention to detail that truly sets us apart: delicately-thin rose petals that allow light to pass through, exquisite veining on our sugar flowers, an eye to the overall affect that will leave you and your guests breathless. We take on fewer cakes, so no corners need be cut to deliver volume rather than quality. This is our difference and we believe a Mischief Maker cake offers an unrivaled experience and outstanding value.

The Mischief Maker has been featured in numerous magazines and online blogs both for sugar flower wedding and celebration cakes, as well as sculpted cakes. Creative Director of The Mischief Maker, Alex Narramore is a botanically accurate sugar flower artist based in Lexington, KY. Merging her love for gardening with sculpting and color, Alex grows the specimens in her garden that she needs to study and observe to accurately sculpt to a correct scale and paint the sugar flowers that will later adorn her cakes. Each sugar petal, stamen, and flower part is made by hand and each finished bloom is hand painted. The cake designs are retired immediately upon baking and are never recreated. Very low volume, only one cake per month is ideally accepted, as the detail work for each cake can take many weeks of preparation. Alex works with her mother on the sugar flowers at her grandmother’s house in eastern Kentucky. Tucked away in the mountains, they do some of their best creative work with their sugar flowers. Whether at Mamaw’s or in her home garden downtown in Lexington, she can always be found somewhere between the garden and the studio, usually with her Irish Setter, Mocha, on her heels. Alex has been recognized world-wide within her field, including: periodical publications, news outlets, being named one of the top four international wedding cake designers of 2015 by the Cake Masters’ Awards, and being named, by prestigious judges: Sylvia Weinstock, Mike McCarey, Chef Nicholas Lodge, Colette Peters, Ron Ben- Israel, Kerry Vincent, Eddie Spence M.B.E., Chef Sherry Yard, and Lisa Mansour, the 2017 winner of the award for international wedding cake artist of the year by The Golden Tier Awards. The Golden Tier Awards is the first American-hosted, international awards show of its kind. This exclusive event brings together pastry chefs, cake and sugar-artists, dessert professionals, authors and writers, chocolatiers, instructors, and retailers from across the globe to celebrate the very best the industry has to offer. In 2018, The Mischief Maker was named one of the top 10 cake artists in the United States by Cake Masters magazine.

A flower float that is a social experiment ! The designers say there is deliberately nothing being decided. Yellow WELLES and red NIETES are two opposing camps, essentially “IS TOO!” versus “IS NOT!”, and the experiment is whether they can get people to pick a side and argue without there even being an underlying question. They explicitly say the emptier the words are, the better, because the subject of the disagreement is intentionally absent.

Wormhole. A flower float . An interstellar designed space craft made entirely of fresh dahlias.

A beautiful flower detail of a deer . A smaller lead up float of the larger Zundert nature goddess float.

The idea for this flower float is essentially: everything living eventually disappears, and nature takes it back. Much like the concept in painting, something I like to explore in my own work, everything is fleeting. This float is titled Eindtijd, which literally means something like “end time” / “the end of an era.” Nature will outlast us all.

This flower float is a slapstick comedy version of a moving day from hell. The man in the red bikini does it for me 👙

This MONSTER of a float made entirely of fresh flowers is full of detail and texture.

Sound is the compelling part of this flower float for me. Some floats are more performance based art than simply a beautiful object. The concept is essentially an army coming to destroy Zundert. The designers described what they wanted as heroic, intimidating, barbaric, but above all ruthless. The entire presentation stretches about 50 meters and includes a battering ram, siege tower and catapult, with 105 costumed performers acting as the attacking army. This is the masculine energy float for sure 😂💪

An extended video of the entire parade of performers for this flower float It’s called “Sandraudiga – Rooted in Zundert.” Sandraudiga is an ancient nature figure connected to this area, representing the bond between people, the land and everything living in it. Her name was actually found on an altar stone nearby, and the float is basically Zundert imagining her rising out of its own roots, animals and earth.

An Aladdin esque float at the flower parade . Sellers seem to be toting their wares through the flower bazaar. Every fresh dahlia is placed on the floats by hand.
