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.

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.

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!

My Little Pony 

Does anyone remember the jingle for My Little Pony? 

My Little Pony, 

my little pony, 

what is friendship all about

That jingle is from the 1980's, that's right, #Mylittlepony has been around for over twenty years. Did you know that Candace pony got married in 2012? The cake above was made last week in 2015 for Chloe who loves My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash to be exact. The cake was made with 6 different colored layers as the rainbow and frosted in vanilla buttercream and then covered in fondant. The figurine was plastic because the parent wanted her daughter to have it as a keepsake. but we can sculpt one for you upon request.

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!

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.

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.

It's All in the Details!

The customer who ordered this #fallthemedcake sent six different photos of cakes and a long list of things she wanted on the #cake we were creating for her. It's not that she wanted us to reproduce anyone else's cake but she want us to use different elements from each. The phone call were maddening and the emails got very confusing after a while (see initial email below (English is not her first language)), BUT... we somehow pulled it off and the customer commented that it was beautiful! Thank God! 

First email

Hi

I would like to give you an idea for how I would like the cake to be for the 27th September 2014.

https://www.facebook.com/Snookysoven?ref=hl

It can be two tier 6” first tier and the second tier 4”. We would like it to be for 20 - 25 people.

I like the fence in the fence cake and everything else from the second fall-cakes. 

Just to give you an idea of what I think will look nice and i would prefer to have for the cake is the little fence around the first tier instead of those white pearl look. You could consider one inch of wafer cookies too. 

Then inside the fence it would be the same almost as the fall cake photo with the green stripes and off white background and dried leaves, pumpkins, sunflower, creepers all like it is in the fall cake snap. 

Second tier creepers going up on the second tier with the dried leaves, pumpkins, sunflowers and the wooden banner kind of look saying EVA AND ARYA. Just add owls too sitting on any tier sitting on the creeper or fence. 

On top of the second tier make a small barren tree on the top with an owl sitting on it and two pumpkins under it, next to that pumpkins in a cart overflowing and everywhere around. Or just make two pumpkins under the tree if that takes all the space. You can also have the wooden banner on the top instead of on the second tier just a thought. I would like the tree to be like the tree in the tree photo attached.

Let me know your thoughts and pricing please.

Thanks,

Chandini

Taking an Idea and Tweaking It!

When the client requested we make the cake that is below for a fortieth anniversary party we cringed, however they did request that the colors of the flowers be lavender and purple and that they did not have to graduate in color and that the flower could be different, we ran with it. The top cake pictured was made for the client sans bow, actually we did include a bow that's where she stopped our creative license but we snapped a picture before placing the bow on top, we just thought it was over worked with it because it was simply beautiful without it.

A Cake Fit for a Princess!

The princess cake, adorned with edible jewels in the crown and topped with the princess' age (she turned five). We added a draping piece of fondant on the bottom tier and then affixed bows on the draped gatherings. This cake turned out to be three tiers of fanciful delight and little Adriana screamed with laughter  when it was presented to her.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy was created for a little girl who loves piglets. I being a pig lover myself and let me just say I am all things pigs for example I have a crystal pig that sits on my self, napkin rings made out of pewter that I had to have and bought directly from a restaurant I was dining at in Virginia, a stuffed piggy which I have had since my college years and refuse to throw away, and the list goes on. Needless to say I had a lot of fun making it this cake, it's simple in design but depicts the animal nicely and in a cute way and was a nice break from some other the other cakes that had crazy over the top details.

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!

Xoxo - Dana

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.
