Cake Fiction

Our bride told us her husband to be was fan of all things sneakers and wanted a Grooms cake to reflect that! Apparently his favorite pair are the Adidas Superstar 86 "Uprock", which has a complex graffiti design. A lot of careful hand painting required to replicate the "Uprock" design, but I'm pleased to say I did it, and of course even the shoelaces are edible!


The black Adidas shoe box is made with chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling, while the sneaker is yellow vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling.

The Lorax movie starts today. So we had fun creating a red velvet birthday cake with cream cheese filling, and a matching Cat in The Hat vanilla cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling to sit on a display of Truffula trees!

A nice way to remind ourselves about the origin of this Dr Seuss fable and to express concern for our environment. Save our Truffula trees?

I am also attaching an image of the cakes as part of the display at the birthday party in Summit NJ.

Last week I had a request for eggless cakes to serve at an engagement party and also a wedding. So I went to work on some of my old eggless recipes to improve them, and I wanted to share the results of my delicious tasting with you!


Vanilla eggless cake - this was very light and fluffy, it had a white color, great for a wedding. I prepared a whipped Madagascar vanilla bean cream, which goes well with sliced fresh strawberries or red berries.






Eggless chocolate cake - the chocolate cake is amazing, very crumbly, but still moist and you wouldn't believe this was eggless, which tend to be heavy. I served the cake with a strawberry mousse, which is light and airy, then topped with shavings of Belgian chocolate.






Orange eggless cake - a yellow color and heavier, with more body than the vanilla cake. I decided to serve this with a whipped orange blossom cream and pieces of candied oranges.



Tempting huh?
