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.

Transforming a Logo into Cake

This client wanted their logo made into a cake for their Christmas party, to the right is the actual picture of the company's logo. This cake comprised of making jewels for the crown of the cake along with coins and a chain that ran along the brim and up the front of the crown. We used buttercream for some of the details of the cake but the majority is made in fondant. Logo are really fun to do especially when it's an actual thing as opposed to just fonts.

She Wanted Red Bottom Shoes

This cake was made for our client's friend who really wanted a pair of Louboutin shoes and was waiting to be able to purchase a pair (they're expensive). Her friend, no her BFF wanted to make a special cake for her so she choose the theme of the cake and called us on a Monday for that weekend's delivery, normally we needed more time for such an order but she sounded desperate and asked very nicely for us to help her, so we did. Made of red velvet cake and frosted with cream cheese buttercream and then covered with fondant this cake took a little over two days to finish, you see it takes time for the shoe to be constructed and then it has to harden before we can handle it to put the details on it. Just say pretty please and your wish is our command, well sometimes.

Money, money, money, money, money 

(Title from the O'jays Love of money)

A half eaten photo cake of the one hundred dollar bill. We made this cake for the New York Historical Society for the celebration of Benjamin Frankin's Birthday, so they ordered a cake with the 100 dollar bill on it which displays Benjamin Franklin. Simple right? Not really, it's hard finding a great image of money to blow up and have a solid image but Snooky's together with The NY Historical Society found one, yeah! And it was enjoyed by all from the email they send regarding it. "Cake was great - delicious and looked great.

Here is a half-eaten shot of it!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.

We've made a couple of cakes for this lady pictured who is a powerful PR person located here in NYC, her roster of client's include people such as Martha Stewart to Nicki Minaj and various large corporations. This was her birthday party at Le Cirque restaurant and the order was to affix an edible photo image of her on a sheet cake, so we did. We immediately noticed the animal print blouse she had on and replicated the look in the inscription with the same vibrancy and look but kept the rest of the cake simple with a black line that was piped around the top of the cake, the picture was the focal point and her leopard print blouse set the tone of the cake's decorations and it said a lot about her personality as well, my bet is she is playful, forceful and sexy, what do you think? A picture really is worth a thousand words.
