Holy Fondant, Batman!!

Earlier this year, I got probably the coolest cake request ever! My customer said she was throwing a party for her son- it was to be a birthday party and a Baptism as well. They were expecting 150 guests, and she wanted a 5 tier Super Hero cake. She e-mailed me this picture and specified that she didn't want the Robin or the Aqua-man tier: As soon as I saw this picture, I went a little nuts over how ridiculously AWESOME this cake was! I spent a long, long time searching the internet to try to Read more [...]

This beautifully ruffled cake was put together for my mother's 60th birthday. It was my first time making fondant ruffles, and I have to tell you, it took quite a few tries for me to get the hang of it. The only inedible part of this cake were the borders.

On the sides, I have the image of the screaming man (like the one on the DVD cover) and that of the marching hammers. The middle tier was by far my favorite! It represents "Dark Side of the Moon." I absolutely Read more [...]

Mario Kart Cake

This month I took on the challenge of sculpting a mario kart themed cake for a friend of a friend's birthday. I decided to go with a small two tiered cake (perfect for 20 people) and after much debate, I went with the above design. Choosing what to sculpt on a mario kart cake was indeed very difficult! There was so many options! The goombas, the one-up brick square, the bullet, donkey kong...the list goes on and on. Instead, I did a turtle shell, a star cone, the mushroom, and the old-school mario Read more [...]
