Cake of the Day

Good thing I make cakes - I'd never know what was hip otherwise.  For example, one day, I know nothing about one of the latest, hottest trends.  The next, I've gotten a crash course in it.  Like this gaming trend...

Don't ask me what any of it means.  I just sussed out that it was related to the game.

Cake of the Day

It's been a little bit since I posted last - vacation took precedence!  But, to make up for it a bit, I've got three cakes for you today!

These cakes were all part of the same order - the airplane was the centerpiece with the other two flanking it.  Yes, the airplane is edible (except the wings and tail).  And, yes, I nearly had a breakdown building it - if you've been keeping up for long, you know I'm not a lover of 3D cakes...but occasionally I will undertake one.

Cake (And Cupcakes) of the Day

It's a twofer Friday!

A camo/outdoor themed graduation cake and the accompanying cupcakes.  The camo pattern was created from sugar sheets.

Cake of the Day

I always have the best time creating cakes for my niece.  She embraces the different, quirky, "out of the mold" ideas - this year's birthday cake for her husband was no exception.

Yes...that is an elephant passed out due to a sugar coma.  Yes, he is holding a gavel.  Yes, that's a cup of spilled tea and law books.  All perfect fitting references to him.

Those of you have been following along for any length of time know I don't enjoy figure sculpting - but this was, I must admit, fun to create!

Cake of the Day

This one is all buttercream (well, except for the message - that's candy wafers)!  I had a terrible time getting the face to look even remotely right.  My fight with characters continues...
