Under the sea themed cake

It's been awhile since I've last post anything. It's actually been a while since my last cake as well. 

My latest cake. Chocolate on chocolate cake with under the sea theme

The sketch was a sea tier with a mermaid  tail diving tier. Totally didn't turn out that way. 

The cake ended up looking like an under water cave with waves splashing against it!

The birthday girl was very happy, so this extremely tired caker was glad. 

Waves were made from colored isomalt sugar. Cake is chocolate covered in dark chocolate ganache. 

Happy Birthday Stephen King cake collaboration

So I was in another awesome cake collaboration. 

My piece is a modeling chocolate figurine of Marg H. in the TommyKnockers. She was possessed and turning into an alien. 

I'm excited about this collab. Stephen King thanked everyone who wished him Happy Birthday!!!!

Everyone who was in the collaboration is incredibly talented. Cannot wait until next year.

Little mermaid cake

Hey everyone,

Every cake makes you learn a little more about yourself, and this one is no exception.

2D Ariel on a cake, no issue right...

Wrong... Everything goes great until you start shaking from not eating food...

If I didn't share, I will now, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in November and it's normally not an issue as long as I eat right...

On this beautiful cake, I decided to work on it nonstop, no lunch and that means shaky hands... (Side note: NEVER AGAIN!!!)

Everything with Ariel was great except I didn't want to do eyes on her, she was soooo beautiful without them... (My opinion) 

So with shaky hands I added eyes and now I don't like her as much! But they loved her so that's all that matters ☺️

Cake was almond cake with vanilla butter cream and fondant Ariel and white chocolate seashells/seahorse.

She doesn't look that bad, but in retrospect, I'd have done her eyes in fondant... I'm so picky...

Until next time,

Jae

First cake collaboration

So, I'd never been in a cake collaboration before...

Thought they were cool, so was so excited when I was able to join one...

My first cake collaboration was Happy Chinese New Year!!!

My challenge was to actually pick a design. I knew that I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and do figurine work, but I didn't do what I normally do, which is commit a design to paper, eh, what a mistake that was...

Lesson learned!!!  The cake turned out ok, but I felt it was rushed 😢

But the great thing is, now I know and can move forward to the next one with a better vision of what I have to do!!!

Love life lessons so that was a great one!!!

The cake was chocolate with chocolate IMBC, vanilla fondant lettering and the goat/ram was made from fondant.

I'm happy it didn't look horrible, but next year, I'm going for the wow!!!!

Until next time,

Jae

Mine craft cake

Mine craft... 

Mine craft...

I've never seen it, played it, or been interested in it. The only reason I know what the characters look like is because of my son, he's a gamer!

So when my dear friend/sister asks me to remake a cake for her son's birthday, do I take the challenge...

Uh yes!!!

I set out to recreate a cake she sent me, was an all-nighter, but I was pleased with the cake...

Luckily for me I did the Mine Craft world some justice.

I asked my gamer and he said it was perfect!

And the best part, the birthday boy LOVED it!

Talk about exciting!!! I don't like recreating other people's designs but I'm happy I was able to do it!

The cake was vanilla with vanilla IMBC and vanilla fondant. Also used chocolate fondant for decorations.

Until next time,

Jae

Katniss Wedding Dress Doll Cake

So, every year one of my favorite ladies asks for a special birthday cake, this year was no different!

Turning 10 is a big deal, right? So why not ask for something extravagant. My daughter is a HUGE Hunger Games fan, HUGE! So this year, she asked for a Katniss Everdeen Wedding Dress Doll Cake from her favorite book in the series, Catching Fire.

Easy, right? Not for me! I'd overthink and over analyze this baby to the bitter end, but the results were amazing and the birthday girl loved her!

Katniss was inedible because she is the special edition doll made by Mattel. The rest of her was all cake and fondant!

Cake is chocolate with vanilla IMBC and vanilla fondant.

Can you believe she's cake?

Until next time,

Jae
