Yo Gabba Gabba Cake....

So i made this beautiful cake...so much detail in every tier....and the top collapsed on itself on the way to the venue. I did what i could to the cake with what was left of it...still turned out ok BUT it wasnt what it was so I was a bit disappointed....I guess this is what happens in the beginning, but you keep learning and improving every time....i surely outdid myself this round

i took so much pride in the way i made the green character and thats the one that got messed up.

so he ended up this way....still happy with the result based on the crazy mishap...but next time itll be better...

Yo Gabba Gabba Cake

Im taking a break from making the cake right now. Boy is this cake taking a toll on me...and my apartment. Its a disaster right now. Taking a break since Ive been working on it for 5hrs now. I still have a lot to do so Ill be back to work in no time. Hopefully its all worth the hard work.

This cake was STRESSFUL! I will never use red fondant again....until the yo gabba gabba cake of course...and ill have to go through the same crazy ordeal all over again....

The only thing on this cake that was my original plan was the mask....everything else kinda just happened because of the red fondant...i had to switch everything up cause of timing.

Chocolate Heaven

Made a chocolate cake this weekend. It was EXCELLENT! I was bored and took a recipe I found and made it my own. Wasnt sure how it was going to come out but i must say, boredom baking has done me justice.....

Test Run # 2

I'm still trying. This time I added color...Next time I'll use fresh fondant and I'll take a more camera ready picture. (on a better surface, not my cutting board and ill dust the figurine off first)

Still working on getting the figure smooth but I have time...

Another cake....

This is what im trying to do for the next cake. I have one right before I start the Iron Man cake....this is JUST A TEST RUN! Ive never made figurines before....I had some fondant left in my fridge that I know i wont be using on a cake so I decided to try out making a baby in a blanket....of course when the cake is being made, the "baby" will be smoother and will be in color...

More to come....

More ideas....

im going to try making my own modeling chocolate....i want to create little edible figurines which i will hand paint for the cake. and ill be using rice krispie treats on the cake too. i have a lot of new tools to order to make this cake come to life.....this could turn out great. i'll have to recruit someone to be my driver the day of delivery to make sure the cake arrives in one perfect piece.

next cake....

I will be making another cake next month...Iron Man theme. I already have the cake sketched out. I'll be trying my hand with molding with gum paste, edible gold paint (not real gold because that costs way to much) and stenciling....ill be practicing so there will be pictures posted soon..

CANDY DOT CAKE

took 3.5 hrs to get all the dots on there...have been up for 24hrs and have to get up  in 2hrs and 45 mins to start to head down to PA....but the cake doesnt look too bad, especially for working on it on an empty stomach and stressed and tired from my day job.
