Elisa Strauss

Elisa Strauss founded Confetti Cakes when she was in her twenties. In addition to baking the traditional wedding cake, Elisa designs cakes in the shape of cars, purses, Cambell soup cans, x-ray machines, sushi, bathtubs, Monolo Blaniks, you name it. Her cakes are so identical to the real things that it’s hard to believe they’re edible. Elisa’s Confetti Cakes cookbook shares some of her baking secrets, and Elisa shares with Jessica her inspiration and launching process, from scratch.
