Recently a friend asked for a full sheet cake in the shape of spongebob. I almost fainted, because it sounded a bit intimidating, however, I hate saying no, So I agreed. I made the cakes, then I proceeded to whip Up the pastry pride to fill in the middle w/ strawberries. Once that was completed I slid the layers together ( nerve racking) then I sculpted ..... After that I took a break ! Lol. Then I made my fondont ( marshmallow of coarse) yellow , brown, red and white. Theeee most dreadful part… Continue

I started doing this just as a simple hobby . Now making desserts is a need of mine. I love creating things. So I'm going to give a run down of all my cake making endeavors. The ups and downs. So far ive done about 6 fondont cakes . Aaand I looove it!!!

I would like help with a technique on a cake but need to post pic of cake but can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

Great News! We have a new Wide Format Printer package.  A specialty printer that prints every size of icing sheet from 1.25” pre-cut circles to and including the 10.75" x 16.5” sheets; the largest printable area on the market.

I have created some fondant appliques and molds that I need to color in a very shiny and deep gold color (like the italian jewelry) for an indian wedding.  Please I need suggestions in what color or mix of colors to use.  I have been trying to get to the right color to no avail.  I will appreciate your suggestions.

So, I am kind of new at all this....I read blogs all the time, mostly about baking and/or cake decorating. I love to decorate cakes, and I enjoy the look on my friends and family's faces when they receive one of the cakes I have made.

I had my first travel "disaster" with a cake this past weekend, and I was delivering a very large and heavy wedding cake. For some reason, my brain didn't remind me to "glue" the bottom layer cake board to the cake drum. The cake slid right off the drum and was sitting cockeyed in the cargo area of my Explorer.

 

As for the construction damage, there was none. My brain did tell me to use extra reinforcements in this cake. It had both PVC & dowel rods in it. I did this…
