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.

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.

Making it Stick!

This cake was fun to make but made me feel sick to my stomach because both the bottle of Perrier and espresso martini had to be balanced and that was a difficult feat. Both were made out of cake and both had to stand up on cake, ok we've done that before nothing too difficult, but this cake or rather the tray which was made of cake was shallow so the dowels really had nothing to dig into. Now here's the best part, when the cake was delivered to the venue and assembled it looked great as seen in the picture but the venue had no a/c and it was raining and humid a nightmare for fondant creations. The bottle keep leaning and then so did the the martini glass, party revelers stood besides me and looked and admired the cake when all off a sudden the martini glass just jumped right off the cake! Everyone looked confused and one party guest remarked "It's a good think it happened now before the party really started." I smiled begrudgingly, I was nervous (sick to my stomach), but I knew what I had to do. I reached into my tool bag and pulled out a brush and put edible glue on the base of the glass and on the cake and adhered them together and prayed. I waited around for 10 minutes spoke with the host and hostess of the party who loved the cake, and then checked the glass to make sure that it was secure, it was, and I left but prayed again it was safe and would be for the rest of the night. A week later I got a call from the hostess' concierge company and was asked to price out a 3D cute white dog cake. Hooray!!! I knew not only the cake was liked when I presented it to the host and hostess but it stayed in place! Thank God!
