The Cube Cake with Le Cobusier's The Modulor






Making a cube out of cake has to be one of the most difficult cakes to make. It takes a ruler, a protector, a T square, a compass, and everything else you learned to use in geometry. Oh, you don't remember geometry? Didn't think cake designers used it? Well we do, and other math applications as well! Back to the cake, this is probably the second cube cake I've made the first being a #Rubik'scube, the cake above was a much better attempt in that the sides came out really straight and that's because I used fondant panels to attach the to the cake instead of the standard draping the fondant over the cake method. Made for an architect, The Modulor is the proportioning system developed by Le Corbusier who believed these proportions to be evident in the human body. The purpose of the Modulor was to "maintain the human scale everywhere". The entire building "Unite d'" was based on the Modulor proportioning system. A little bit of art history for the day.

Chanel Bag Cake






The #Chanelbag, always in style, season after season, and not just the real thing but also when it's made into a cake, I wonder if #CocoChanel knew that her designs would become so iconic. The bag above was made from chocolate cake that was then frosted with vanilla buttercream and then covered in fondant and then painted with a gold edible paint, looks like the real think doesn't it? Call to order one 212 665-0990.

Deadpool Cake





We were asked to make a #Deadpool cake for the production team of the actual movie, funny but when they ordered it I didn't know what in the heck it was from the picture they provided us with to make it from. Simple in design but so is the mask in the movie, also simple flavors, yellow cake with vanilla buttercream.

First Cake of the New Year!












For #thefirstofthenewyear we were requested to make an #EloiseatthePlaza cake with a #3Dfigurine on top out of #modelingchocolate, first time making the chocolate and first time working with it, I think we did a great job considering. We made Eloise looking as though she was about to climb off the cake to show off her rambuntcious side as is depicted by her slightly turned torso. I would definitely use modeling chocolate again when making a figurine because it holds much better than fondant and it tastes really really good! Cake was a yellow cake filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream and then covered in #chocolatefondant.
