Optimus Prime

With a blockbuster movie, it was only a matter of time before someone asked for a Transformer cake. This cake was SO MUCH fun to make, but as with previous customer orders….SO MUCH STRESS!! Every piece is carved from a two layer cake, covered in fondant, painted and then embellished with fondant details. His face was the first time I’d ever actually sculpted something out of fondant, and you know, I was surprised at just how easy it was, and how cool it turned out.

The 1st Guitar

First guitar cake. For someone scared to DEATH of piping, it turned out pretty cute. Mind you, I do see every fault with it (and there are many) but for a first time trial, I think it turned out pretty cute—I just wish the arm were a little longer. It has a sort of banjo look to it with the arm so short.

I also didn’t pipe the flames on this guitar. I outlined flames with piping gel, but then used sugar crystals to create the shimmering flames themselves. Yellow, Orange & Red…not too shabby!
