I'd love to hear from you! If I've inspired you, send me a photo of your cake creation. If you have some cool cake ideas, or want to
ask me how I did something, feel free to send me a message. I do my best to answer all questions. Email me at
cakeengineer@davidgeaney.com, or look me up on Facebook.

I become The Cake Engineer.

Most of the sculpted cakes begin as large sheet cakes, which are cut and stacked to create 3-D
objects. The cake is then finished with frosting or fondant and any finishing touches, which are
generally edible although some cakes do have props that are non-edible. After the cake is finished,
my wife and kids come in and eat all the cake scraps. It's a win-win.

Cakes are my hobby, so they've got to be fun. With that in mind, I try to make cakes that:
 | Reflect a unique characteristic of the person or event for which they are made |
| Are original, or at least original renditions of pop culture icons |
| Surprise and delight those who see and eat them (they've got to taste as good as they look, | |
| too) |

Maryland's Howard County Times did a story on me and my cakes a while back. They don't have an
online edition, but click here to view a scan of the full-page article.

If you see a Toyota Highlander with this plate - it's me!
We thought it would be fun to get vanity plates, so here's mine. I wanted something closer to "Cake Engineer" but with limited
space I ended up with CAKEENG or ENGCAKE, which seemed too obscure. My wife suggested CAKEMAN, but it sounded like
some kind of pastry superhero, too much grandiosity for a guy who's just a humble sugar artist. Plus I couldn't find the right
tights/cape combination, so I settled for CAKEGUY.
