45 +1

The 46th birthday can go one of two ways, either you embraced forty five and it's smooth sailing or you didn't and this birthday will be rough! Hopeful the later is the one is true. This birthday boy's wife ordered a cake that was made to replicate the jacket he wears frequently, it is blue with gold bottoms, really quite dapper (I used the term because he is British). Made with lemon cake and frosted with our raspberry vanilla buttercream and then covered in fondant, the cake was then delivered to the Union Club in NYC for a big birthday bash!

Let us make your next cake into a jacket or dress or any special object for your next party!

My Little Pony 

Does anyone remember the jingle for My Little Pony? 

My Little Pony, 

my little pony, 

what is friendship all about

That jingle is from the 1980's, that's right, #Mylittlepony has been around for over twenty years. Did you know that Candace pony got married in 2012? The cake above was made last week in 2015 for Chloe who loves My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash to be exact. The cake was made with 6 different colored layers as the rainbow and frosted in vanilla buttercream and then covered in fondant. The figurine was plastic because the parent wanted her daughter to have it as a keepsake. but we can sculpt one for you upon request.

Rose gold case with a few visible apps were made to replicate the one that's in the new commercial, to make the #rosegold color really stand out the cake was colored a blush pink as well as the buttcream which was our raspberry vanilla lace flavor.

An Engagement Cake

For an engagement party we made this cake for the bride and groom to be. Hearts on the top tier are the background that contrasts the silhouette couple that is placed in front of it. We added a beautiful swirl motif on the bottom tier that adds a finishing elegant touch to the cake. Cake was a chocolate cake with a Bourbon filling layered with fresh strawberries, it was delicious!

Hairless Cat Cake

A #hairlesscat I really don't have much to say except I've never seen an animal that usually has hair without, what kind of breed are they? A client wanted one and we made it for her. Chocolate cake filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream and then covered in fondant.

At At Walker!!!

We made a simplified #AtAtWalker for a customer's son's birthday, she initially wanted a 3D cake like the one we made a little over a year ago but we need two weeks to pull that one off. Made with yellow cake and frosted in vanilla buttercream which was then covered in fondant of which we painted in a silver color. I suppose with the next #Starwars film release we will be doing a lot of Star Wars cakes, but please, if ordering one of the robots, space ships, and other militia vehicles please order it a month in advance we need the time.

1.    Making it all fit on a small cake can be hard....

   2.  The client and designer have to be on the same page.

3.  Again, making it all fit on a small cake can be hard....

Now breath and make it all fit! 

The above cake was for only five people. The cake was to be small and incorporate a beach scene with a subject reclining in a bikini with a glass of cognac in one hand and there was to be a book and a pair of heels on the cake as well as. Of course we put her on a beach towel and proped her legs up in a bent position, like when you're really lying on the beach enjoying the day. Drift fencing was placed around the cake which also acted as a boarder and then the ocean was simulated with buttercream in the front. The cake was cut on a bias and the surface was purposely left uneven to mimick sand. What to you think of this interpretation?

Anyway, I really like Ryan, he seems like a stand-up sort of a guy. Congratulations Ryan!!! And I will keep watching you on #MillionDollarListing.

Sometimes You Have To Go Above And Beyond Even If the Number Don't Make sense!

On a normal day at work the phone rang, it was a customer wanting to create a cake for his mom who was arriving from #China, his homeland, to visit him on her birthday, his funds were limited but he wanted a cake that spoke to the characteristics of her. "This is the #YearofthePig in #Chineseastrology which is the year she was born in also she loves photography can you incorporate the two in a cake?" "Sure" I replied and explained that we could put the pig on a round cake and have a small camera besides him or around his neck, the caller loved the idea and ordered the cake and paid for it. But while executing the cake another thought came to mind, why not make a simplified 3D camera that was a silhouette as the cake and put a small pig figure on top as is shown above. So, without conferring with my client this is the way we constructed it, the camera was made all in black and had minimal details, just enough to read camera. When the cake was picked up by the client there was nothing but smiles and and many #thankyous for a job well done. And that's how you go #aboveandbeyond!

Summer Summer Summertime!

This Black Eyed Susie cake really embodies #Summer, all of the colors make you think of summer don't you think? I think of ice cream  my favorite food, chocolate, vanilla loaded with egg yolks, and cotton candy which I've seen but yet tasted at #AmpleHill. Yes, it's the lazy hazy days of summer depicted in fondant on a two tiered cake with a #Blackeyedsusie graphic design.

Drake's Birthday Cake

Drake like most boys his age loves trucks especially construction trucks so we made a cake special for him which had a #dumptruck, a #crawlerexcuvator, and a #bulldozer. Drake was turning three so we put a three on his cake and of course his name and then added crushed cookies for dirt and made rocks out of fondant.

Disney's Ariel Gets a Pelvic Exam!

Graduation is defined as:  the action of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated, where students become graduates. As explained in Wikipedia. Graduation is also the time when we, Snooky's, get a lot of requests for cakes for graduation celebrations as one is seen above in the pictures. The graduate that received this cake was starting her residency in #MorristownNJ as a #gynecologist, she also loved #Disney'sAriel so we put Ariel in stirrups to prep her for an exam and we let her keep her graduation cap on. Entirely edible made fondant and buttercream.

Here's to the Graduate Class of 2015!

That is of #NYUFilmSchool at #Tisch school of the arts. We made this cake as a request of a parent who's son was graduating from NYU's film school, she wanted stack film reels with a #graduation cap along with the director's cut which read Congratulations Adi! Done within two days which is not a lot of time for us and really put us under the gun, normally we would have declined but the mother was from Singapore staying at the W and asked if we could please help her out of her poor planning situation. Snooky's to the rescue! Sometimes you have to bit down and be a cape crusader. Lol! Made out of chocolate cake cake with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant. Good luck Adi and see you at the movies.

One of My Favorite Cakes Ever!

I love pigs  as a matter of fact if I could have a #petpig I would have one! I have a crystal pig figurine, pig napkin holders that I convinced a restaurant manager to sell me from off the set tables made in pewter, a stuffed pig and some other piggy paraphernalia . So this cake is truly one of my favorite ones because it's a pig but also because it's simplistic in design. We made a two tier cake look like the head and body of a cute pig, one tier was chocolate cake and the other yellow, both filled with a raspberry vanilla buttercream and frosted with vanilla buttercream which was then covered in fondant. I truly believe that buttercrean under fondant is the way to go although I do know that  a lot of #cakedesigners don't do this, it's my way, the Snooky's way, but we'll do it anyway you want! Call us for pig cake or anything else you can dream up!  212 665-0990

Making Cakes On The Fly!

We were asked last minute if we could make a shoe cake in 3D for the next day which is near impossible considering it takes about three days for a shoe to set when made out of gumpaste see our website for shoe cake examples, www.Snookysoven.com, but we told the client we could do something less complicated that would still have a 3D element with pop appeal that could be executed in a short amount of time. Above is what we designed for the client. They loved it and told us that the party girl was wearing the same shoe we had designed for the cake that very same day, hummm, all I can do is scratch my head. Job do so we went back to our ordinary (lol ( because a cake designer's day is anything but ordinary)) day of making cakes at Snooky's.
The End!

It was the 80's and I was there!

I said a hip hop,
Hippie to the hippie,
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

I was there! My first boyfriend was a graffiti artist as a matter of fact one of the top artists in the city and to this day is still in the graffiti scene and is considered a legend. Here's to you #skeme! #Pacman was the game of choice, we listened to #cassettetapes on #boomboxes to hear our favorite songs, and boys in the hood who were wore chunky gold chains to accessorize their outfits. Welcome to #HipHop, welcome to the 80's!!!

Boom Box Cake with gold chain and pac man theme on first tier.

The Mask Cake

We made this cake for a customer who's sister was have a surprise party. The triangles that are going around the top of the cake are actually spades  I think I was told there was a drink called the #Aceofspaces, a champagne, I'm not sure what the mask was for nevertheless the cake turned out beautifully. The cake was a red velvet cake with a chocolate frosting.

Hey, Google orders cakes from Snooky's too!

This #Coorslight bottle cake was made for a client in NYC by the #Chicago team of #Google, they asked for cost efficient cake (I guess the sky isn't the limit at Google) so we made a visually succinct one which portrays the bottle well. Shown above is a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream decorated with fondant and buttercream.

Rubik's Cube Cake

The #Rubikscube cake is one of the most difficult cakes to make, again the Rubik's cube cake is one of the most difficult cakes to make. Maybe I should say it three times. Although it looks simple, a cube with multi- colored square panels, making those squares line up evenly is hard as well as making a cake into a real cube even with a t square and a protractor, working in cake, #buttercream and #fondant ALL of which sift and can change their forms easily with temperature, movement made it hair pulling. We worked on this cake until it was time to be delivered hence the poor picture it is a "Quick get a picture shot!" with the delivery man was standing over us. Call Snooky's to order one just make sure to call us at least two weeks in advance 212 665-0990.

Je Suis Charlie!

I think in honor of the victims of the #CharlieHebdo office and the other victims in #Paris I will not present a cake this week for the blog, cake represents a time of celebrating and this is definitely not the time for celebrations but a time to reflect about what has happened and ask ourselves if we too are a part of #JeSuisCharlie (I am Charlie) because freedom of speech is paramount in our society today we've fought hard for it, it's in the Constitution, but it is NOW clearly evident that it is not in different parts of the worlds and within different sects. What are your thoughts?

Syringe Cake

#HappyNewYear! This was our first cake of the year what a way to go, I hope it doesn't mean trips to the doctor's office this year. Ok, so I am a little superstitious, they say how you start the new year is how it will be the remainder of the year, I'm saying bull s**t life is what you make it! This was a yellow cake with vanilla buttercream covered in fondant, the band aid, pills, and the the instrument #doctors use to look in your ear was made of gumpaste. This was not the most challenging cake but it made a nice presentation.
