Sugar high

Planning
your wedding can be a stressful time, and anything but sugar-coated.
But now that Pastry Chef and Culinary Artist Marisa Bove opened
the doors to her new Dyker Heights Bakery, at least your wedding
cake can be.
Bove started Sugar Coated Inc. in 2004, after earning a business
degree from St. John’s University and another in Pastry
and Baking Arts from the Institute of Culinary Education in
Manhattan. After working out of her home for two years, Bove’s
bakery opened at 1078 65th St. on Aug. 15.
Bove’s wedding cakes are all custom-made to suit the
individual’s wedding style. One of her most memorable
cakes was for a bridal shower. It boasted three tiers of chocolate,
butterscotch and cream, and was shaped like the corseted bodice
of the bride’s dress, complete with lacing down the back
of the cake that flowed out to form the gown (pictured at
right).
The client gushed that it “looked like a porcelain sculpture,”
recalled Bove.
Another hit, said Bove, was the majestic “French country”
wedding cake with three tiers of blue, white and yellow icing
embellished with gold accents, ruffles and flowers.
“The wedding cake ties everything together,” explained
Bove. “It’s the centerpiece of the wedding, and
is the first thing the bride and groom share together, and
then share with all of their guests. It represents good luck.”
She also bakes cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts that
can be customized for bridal showers, engagement dinners and
other events.
Sugar
Coated is located at 1078 65th St. at 11th Avenue in Dyker
Heights. Cake prices begin at $6 per slice, and increase depending
on cake details. This includes a free consultation with Bove
to discuss ideas for the cake. For more information or to
make an appointment, call (718) 259-9885 or visit the Web
