Chicago's Jewell Events Catering recently catered a dinner for a musical instrument company. For dessert, the catering firm's custom cakes division created an edible harp. "The cake designers working on the project utilized fondant to give the cake a realistic look and feel and built it according to the exact specifications of a real-life harp," said a company rep.

Martha Stewart’s Wedding Party took place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Chicago on March 22. At a vendor showcase held in the ballroom, Elysia Root Cakes showcased elaborate, multitiered confections decorated with edible flowers. Frosted in a pale purple hue, another cake was sculpted to look like a stage with its curtains drawn back.
