PACMAN!!!

I use to play #Pacman ALL THE TIME back in the day and be pretty good at it too! It was a simple game but one that you got hooked on much like the games today. The cake above was requested by a husband for this wife who was... you guessed it, having a baby, it's a baby shower cake, according to him his wife is a fanatic about Pacman and is quite good at it too. We made a #redvelvet cake which was frosted and filled with cream cheese buttercream and then covered in fondant. My original thought was to make the bottom tier black with the Pacman grid and ghosts and cherries you know like the way the games graphics look, but then thought keeping it in the tradition of a baby shower theme so pale colors were used. Behold, the Pacman baby shower cake above!

Photos of Our Cakes at Snooky's

Sometimes writing something about what we do at Snooky's is the most complicated thing to get done. There are good ideas and not so good ideas about what to post, and sometimes it's getting the right photo shot of a cake that can deter the whole post. I have had on many occasions in trying to get a cake finished by a certain time taken really bad pictures of a cake, also there are times when rushing we forget to get a picture and ask the client to send one but in the 15 plus years I've been doing cakes I've never had a picture sent to me, sorry just one the one below.

Two guys who had their birthday celebrated together and they are both replicated on the cake, a space shuttle. Below is a better picture of the cake.

And clearly we did get a picture of it before it was delivered, but trust me when I say that it rarely happens we get a picture from a client. Not complaining,just sharing.

Happy Summer Everyone!!!

CHANEL

When I think of fashion, I think of #Chanel it's iconic when it comes to #fashionandBeauty. My first love affair as a sophomore in college at #SyracuseUniversity with a lipstick was by Chanel, the brand set the precedent for #lipsticks to come. The #ladieswholunch bring to mind the #Chaneljacket that is oh so recognized, and the quilted handbags make me think of the young ladies who adorn them with gowns, dresses, and even jeans.  The cake above embodies the Chanel brand in that it incorporates the quilting design, pearls, the double c and an elegant shoe on top. I hope one day to be a lady who lunches, and maybe I'll be one who wears one of those beautiful jackets.

When Last Minute Orders Are complicated.

I have found that there are few last minute orders that are really complicated that we turn down, many of them for celebrities, they seem to always need a cake for a talent the next day, but there are times we take on the challenge especially when they are unique. Take for example the cake above, it was ordered by a realty firm for a client they were trying to win an account from, it was to be three buildings that replicated the actual buildings done by a construction company, the realty agency wanted exclusive rights to rent or sell the units hence the courting with the cake. We only had two and a half days to make this cake and it was really a lot of work, I've found sometimes it's best just to not think about the task and just plow through it, this is how we got through finishing this cake on time. By the way, we never like turning down a cake for a celebrity but frankly a lot of times it just impossible to do.

To The Graduating Class of 2016!

Be bold, be fearless and most of all, be you! This cake was made for some MSA Columbia University seniors this past weekend. In a world where celebrities are put on pedastules and an education almost seems absolete in our society to achieving success it's refreshing and reassuring that career choices other than ones that are in the film or TV or should I say in the entertainment industry are still desirable to some.

Made with chocolate cake and filled with fresh strawberries and cream and then frosted with vanilla buttercream and covered with a gold fondant, #Columbiauniversity colors are white and light blue so we made the cap in the school's blue and the design around the cake in white and then added flowers in the same colors. Call us to order one for your school of choice!

Get in Shape for Summer.

It's that time of year again, time to get into shape if you haven't maintained it. All spring and summer long I see #Soulcycle tee shirts, hoodies, and locations around the city it must be the IT place for spin classes. Anyway, this cake was made for a SoulCycle enthusiast and we thought it was perfect for this time of the year when we are trying to get in shape or take our workout routine to the next level. Made out of fondant and gumpaste which is covering a lemon cake with passion fruit buttercream.

Here's To The Blue and White of NYC!

We made a simple police badge cake for an officer who became Sargent, ordered by his girlfriend who I suspiciously believe is an opera singer who was performing the same night of the cake's presentation. Decorated all in #buttercream, the badge was done with a white chocolate which we then painted silver to look like a real #nypdpolicebadge. We do not get many requests at Snooky's Custom Cakes to do cakes made entirely of buttercream so when we get them I make sure to post them.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!

It's baseball time folks! Damien (my client), love that name,  wanted a soft ball theme cake for his daughter's birthday, who also happens to be on a softball league so we made this cake for her. Actually the cake that the client took home looked different in that the ball was yellow with red stitching, when Damien came to pick up the cake he noticed the ball wasn't the right color so we changed it quickly while he waited but I didn't get a picture of it. Another save for team Snooky's!

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!!!

The cake was completely edible made with fondant except for Eloise which was done in modeling chocolate, yummy, I kept tasting it, note to self stay out of the modeling chocolate!!!

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?

The above cake was made for a casting agent as a #thankyou from an actress who was booked for the new #iPhone6 as the voice in the commercial, congratulations #Natalie! 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.

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.

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.

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!
