Here's what the owners, Alexandria Pellegrino and Jessica Smith have to say about their creative process. Imagine yourself for a moment standing in a dimly lit room. Walls of towering shelves surround...thick with the dust of time. Each shelf is crowded with bell jars containing history's more extraordinary and exotic specimens....this is the world of wonders in which Cake Opera Co. finds its muse. Reminds us of one of our favorite decor volumes...The New Eighteenth-Century Style by Lalande and Trillard. 


This is their Piratess Cake! Think 17th century tall ships. The delicate hand painting on each layer is incredible. They are like so many premier craftsmen of our day, it's all in the details and the execution.


The proprietors
Alexandria and Jessica-you rock!


Their header says it all...these ladies have a sense of self, history, creativity, amusement and folly.



The Moretto Mask cake

18th century French figurines finding their way into cake form. This particular cake reminds us of  masquerade balls during this era of history.

It's no wonder celebrities are searching out Opera Cake Co. to make their wedding cakes (do you remember pictures of the Nicole Richie/Joel Madden's cake)? We just thought you might be inspired by these two entrepreneurs.  Publications like Grace Ormonde, a well turned out bridal magazine feature them often.
