Love Makes the World Go Round Cake
My friend’s granddaughter’s birthday party theme was Love Makes the World Go Round. So I came up with this cake, which is meant to suggest the earth traveling around the sun on an outer space cake board.
Terraria Celestial Event Cake
Alex, for her 10th birthday, requested a Terraria celestial event cake, with a four-sided pillar, each side of which corresponds to a phase of the celestial event – Nebula, Stardust, Vortex, and Solar – and includes the appropriate monsters.
Clash of Clans Cake
For her 9th birthday, my niece had very specific requirements – a Level 6 Clan Castle from Clash of Clans with an Archer Queen and Barbarian King as well as archers and barbarians.
Dem Bones Cake
My niece and nephew’s preschool has the delightful tradition of having the pre-K kids perform a little skit based on one of their favorite books as part of the end-of-the-year graduation ceremony. This year, Sam’s class chose Dem Bones as their book so, of course, I made him a Dem Bones cake. Ever since I saw this video, I’ve been wanting to try to make a zoetrope cake, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Carousel Cake
My grandmother lives near a beautiful old carousel from the 1920s. When we visited her when we little, she would always take us to ride it. When I was designing her 90th birthday cake, I got to thinking about riding the carousel with her, and this is the result.
Flying Saucer Cake
The occasion for the cake was my friend Isaac’s third birthday party. My goal in this design was to evoke the classic B-movie spaceships from the 50’s and 60’s (the title of the party’s evite was “Plan 3 from Outer Space”.)
Centipede Cake
When I was in MBA school I had to take a class called Venture Creation, for which the final project was to write a business plan. Mine was for a cake business. We also had to do a presentation for people pretending to be potential investors, so, as part of that presentation, I naturally needed to make a cake. The Centipede Cake is what I came up with.
Triple Animal Cake
This cake was made for my niece's first birthday. I was trying to make a 3-dimensional version of those children's picture books where each page is split into three parts so that you can mix and match the heads, bodies, and feet of the animals.
