iPhone 6 Cake

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.

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!

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.

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!

Here's to the Start of a Beautiful and Productive Week.

[Insert future photos of cakes here.]

This week brings some challenging cakes into Snooky's. One's a unicorn cake (anatomy is always the hardest thing to create in cake.) And the other is a racing car cake that is to be made entirely fondant and last but not least a 3D Optimus Prime cake that will have both Ophelia (my assistant) and myself bald from pulling our hairs out by the end of the week. But we have perfect weather for this week so that counts big in my book. Also I relish the challenge of this weeks cakes. Stay tuned for photos.

Ushering in Warm Weather (Because we really really need it!)

Sprinkles always remind me of warm weather, Mr. Softee ice cream trucks with their familiar music that has lasted for decades having patrons lined up in front the ordering window and others walking away with their sweet twisted custard cone with multi-colored sprinkles. The memory conjures summer and Americana or at least warm weather I'm not really sure if Mr. Softee was around during the Americana period. Anyway, this cake was ordered for a wedding ceremony for a couple who loved sprinkles and who was to have a wedding to follow in the near future in Israel. We added a soft shimmering ribbon and ties a bow on each tier making it a beautiful simple cake that brought smiles to everyone. Summer we're waiting for you here in New York City we need you badly to erase all the snow storms of the season.

A Rescued Valentine's Day

She arrived with roses in her arms when she came to pick up her kitty cake that we made for her that evening. Alison Valentine was a singer who ordered a cake to be make in a 2D shape of her logo, a white kitten. "Are those flowers for me?" I asked, she replied "Yes, do you want some?" I smiled and presented her cake to her. "I love it!" She said while blushing and then proceeded to pick through the large bundle of roses. "This is for you." Thank you!" I said excitedly as I extended my hand to accept the rose. "My boyfriend and I just broke up, this is perfect, you made my night" "OMG" She exclaimed. "You have to come to my performance tonight you might meet your Valentine there, please come." I smiled and thanked her for the invitation but declined, it was a cold snowy day and I didn't feel like coming out. "You really should, I'd love to see you there. Anyway, I'll put your name on the list to get in in case you change your mind." And with a few key strokes on her iphone I was confirmed and she left. Thirty minutes later I had changed my mind, and I accompanied with my brother and his girlfriend later that evening headed for Soho to the Maison O where Alison was performing. 

I am so glad I did go out because I had a blast and danced all night long. I took this picture with Alison in her red dress just before her performance.

Thank you Alison for a wonder Valentine's Day glad you convinced me to come out!

It's All About Timing.

We were asked to make a clock cake for one of the people who was instrumental in installing "The Clock" exhibit at Lincoln Center an art instillation by video artist Christain Marclay I must say truly a masterpiece and a must see if your ever in a city that has it (it travels around the world). So, we made an old fashioned clock, you know like the one we all saw in school in the past. It had a first, second, and third hand and was very visible to all especially if you were running late (I remember those days). Anyway, decorated all  in buttercream and done in the colors black, white and red for the third hand. Truly a classic!

Sculpting a bulldog for a cake

We were asked to make a bulldog out of cake for a small party. As pictured above we made the dog which was sculpted out of cake seated on top of a small cake, it was easier to stabilize him that way, had it been a larger cake we could have put him on all fours, so we seated in him in grass and put a bandanna around his neck which was cute and added a pop of color.

As shown above we started with the head, not seen but used was a piece of styrofoam which was carved and then covered in fondant, making the head out of cake or even just fondant would have been too heavy and would have pulled the head off of the body.

Here we are adding more detail by adding more folds to the skin of the dog's face and by painting the face around the eyes, the bridge of the nose and underneath the mouth to give definition.

So I went a few steps a head, sorry I'm new to showing the process of the making of my cakes and got a head of myself by finishing the cake, but I cropped out the body so you can see the dog's added features. The eyes were painted with a brush in brown and then a thin dark brown line under the eye (like eyeliner) was applied to the lower lid. A pink piece of fondant was added for a tongue and and then a brown piece fondant was attached to the head to represent the color variations of the dog's coat. And lastly ears were placed on either side of the head.

The body was carved out of cake and the color of the top of the head was repeated on the back part of the dog's body and a red bandanna was put around the neck of dog. This was a fun cake to make and took me back to an art sculpture class I took many years ago.
