The Face Cake

This is the second cake of this nature we have done. We call them 'caricature' cakes because we base it on a drawing of the subject rather than trying to make it look super life like. This was as surprise to a guy from his girlfriend. He loves the Lakers, his band 'The Teeth' and his Rickenbacker bass guitar. I think we pretty much nailed it and kept it clean and cool looking.

The Cop Cake

This cake was super fun to make. It was for a retiring detective, Gregg and was bought as a surprise from his adorable girlfriend, Linda. He loves 'Dunkin' Donuts' coffee and raspberry danishes. So we added his badge and gun all on a newspaper board and called it a day! Couldn't get more stereotypical cop than that. I loved recreating the logo and details on the cup and even putting the details on the gun was fun. We had a bit of trouble with the rain but all in all, this cake came out beautifully!

The Gibson Les Paul Cake

We got another crack at making a guitar cake. The first one we did was over a year ago and was one of our very first cakes. So we were excited to put to use all the new tricks and experience we have gained in the meantime! And even more so because we got to do it for such a wonderfully sweet client. Lisa wanted to surprise her hubby-to-be with a life size replica of his favorite guitar for their wedding day. It was, in fact, my first groom's cake and was happy to do this for such a lovely couple. We had a blast "nerding out" on the little details...all the nobs and buttons. And Matt did an amazing job on the wood graining with the airbrush. All in all, I think we blew the other guitar cake out of the water. Congrats Marco and Lisa!!

The Zebra Cake

I am back after a long winter break! And the orders have been rolling in! Starting with this adorable baby shower cake. I had fun with the graphic colors and the zebra print. Most of all, I was really happy with the special piping on top, as the mommy-to-be called her bum 'baby bean.' I thought it all came out adorably.

The Other Burrito Cake

This one was fun because I got to make more fondant food! My favorite! I just love replicating the olives and lettuce and tomato. The best part is the realistic tortilla. Thank you Mr. Airbrush! All in all, this burrito came great!

The Princess Jasmine Cake

I had so much fun making this one! Super girly! Who doesn't love princesses?! This was my first time being able to use sugar gems. They really added a little pizzaz and were fun to work with. Jasmine was a challenge, but I think she came out pretty great. I didn't realize until later that I forgot her giant gold earrings. I got them on there before delivery but didn't get any new pics. Hopefully the client will send me a few over. Either way, I love the way this one came out.

The Happy Meal Cake

This cake was for a special little girl. I am a nanny during the day for two girls and the younger one, who was turning eight, has been talking about this cake all year. She knew exactly what she wanted! Her favorite meal! She gets a happy meal every Wednesday. So I had to pull it off! The best part was making the burger (just a rice cereal patty, airbrushed...perfect meat consistency.) I also had a blast doing the french fries! The wrapper was fun to make, but shaping the fries, a bit of airbrush and crushed sugar (salt), they looked perfect! She absolutely loved it! Happy 8th birthday Kylie Koo!
