Fun Cakes
The scale of this car cake is difficult to tell from the
photograph, but it is nearly three feet long. Unlike most
other car cakes I've seen, this one had a fully detailed
interior with fondant "leather" seats and dashboard.
This cake's always
popular. It's one of
the few I've made
more than once.
This Green Day album
cover cake was for my
daughter's 16th birthday.
The litter is nonpareils
painted gray with a few
blue sugar crystals mixed
in. And for the record,
those are Baby Ruths.
I made this one for a chili cook-off. I placed it with the
real chilis and fooled quite a few people. This cake
even got a few votes as best chili. I later made
miniature versions as cupcakes.
This cake not only looked hot,
it tasted hot too - it was
chocolate habanero flavored.
Based on the bikini
cakes.
I made this baby onesie
and booties cake made
for a coworker's baby
shower.
Everything on this pirate's
treasure chest cake is edible,
including the sand, gems, and the
treasures inside. For the wood
look, I use chocolate fondant cut
into strips, carved with a knife,
and painted for the algae/faded
look.
This one was for a co-worker who was leaving. Over the
years she became attached to her office clock, and she
wanted to take it with her. So I made her a cake in the
image of her most valued possession. And yes, the cake
kept time!

Pirate Treasure Chest Cake

This lechon, or suckling
pig, is traditionally served
at important events in
the Philippines and many
other countries as well.
I thought I'd try
something different by
doing a cake in an
aquarium. As always,
everything is edible.
This cheese wheel cake was
pretty simple but fun to
make. The rat was realistic
enough to cause a few
screams in the office.
A caterpillar cake for a baby
shower. I modeled it after a
popular musical children's
toy.
The classic Fisher Price
telephone toy. I made this for
my sister's 40-something
birthday (if I put her age on my
website, she'd kill me).
Hey, a lingerie party sounds
like fun, but I was only asked
to make the cake, not attend.
:-(
This suitcase cake was for a
co-worker who was moving to
North Carolina. The suitcase
came with a NC license plate
and some cruise tickets.
I made this for a friend's
husband who survived a heart
attack a couple of weeks
before his birthday. Twisted?
Yes, but you have to spit in
the Devil's eye, eh?
(He's okay, by the way.)
I made this graphing
calculator cake for the
end-of-year party for
my son's 8th grade
class.
I made this Cheeseburger
Cake for an office picnic. (The
Cheeseburger's proximity to
the Heart Attack cake doesn't
mean a thing!)
Whether you call it a hoagie, a
grinder, a hero, or a sub, it always
goes great with a bag of Doritos.
Okay, so this little Purse
cake is not a designer
everyday bag (or so my
wife tells me).
This medical bag cake came
fully equipped with stethoscope,
syringe, blood pressure cuff,
and bandages.
I made this wine bottle
cake for a friend's
wine-and-cheese
themed bridal shower.
This battlefield cake
included an M1A1
Abrams Tank, a
crashed jet, and a
burning building.
A 95th birthday cake
for a long-time fire
department volunteer.
The "water" is pulled
sugar.
The leather jacket and
slicked back hair show this
guy's ready to rock and roll.
This poodle skirt cake
included a 45 record. (For
any kids wondering what a
45 is, ask your parents.)

Can't you just smell the
salisbury steak, peas, and
mashed potatoes in this TV
dinner cake?
