Gift Boxes

This cake was for my best girls, Liz and LM. I went with a fairly simple main design but got fancy with the top and added little details that were specific to each lady. Most of the details were personal to me but since I made the cake, I can do that. This would also make a great anniversary or wedding cake. The top was orange cake with vanilla buttercream, the middle was yellow with chocolate ganache and the bottom was chocolate with vanilla.

Cake Contest

I've gone and entered myself in a cake contest put together by http://www.threadless.com/. You can view my entry at http://www.threadcakes.com/entries/view/278#0. I decided to also post the pics here so you can sorta see the process of making a 3-D cake. Here we go:


Here is how it starts. Every cake is made from scratch.



Baking. This is exciting, isn't it?


Uh, Jeff? Cleanup time, babe.


They started as blocks.


Starting to take shape.


Here I'm about half-way through. Each dude was made to order.


Voila! "The Last Piece" is born. That little sushi on the board is about the size of a Tic-Tac.


As you can see, one dude is wearing a shirt. No, he isn't cold, that is another contest shirt. It's a bunch of sushi taking revenge on their chef.


The rules stated we had to photograph us eating the cake. Here is the big chop. Notice the meat cleaver.
YUM!

There you go. I'm not giving away all my secrets because there aren't any but at least you have an idea of the process.

Giddyup!
