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.

Minny Mouse Cake

#Minnymousecake I loved Minnie Mouse as a kid, as a matter of fact when we went to #Disneyworld I would only take pictures with Minnie and not Mickey Mouse, it's really strange that I remember that, I also remember getting a riffle that shot round cork bullets I think it had something to do with the #SwissRobinsonfamily. Anyway,  I was delighted to make this cake which we made with our golden yellow cake that was then filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream and then covered and decorated with fondant. And by the way we will make #MickeyMouse if you prefer.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
