Dodge Challenger SRT, The HEMI

Sculpted cakes are difficult to make, but this project was a lot of fun.  I enjoyed sculpting cakes.  It's always a challenge to sculpt a very moist and dense cake.  Each time my knife cuts through the cake, cake sticks to the knife....ugh... such a mess!  I had to rinse my knife to rid off the cake.  My cake knife (14" long) helped a lot with carving a stack of cakes as big as 16" x 24" and as high as 5" tall. 

This cake was made for Marc's birthday.  The Hemi driver, Angelina the Ballerina, is Marc's son's (Paul) favorite musical character.  Paul enjoyed the show.  I would love to see little Paul's reaction when he saw the cake.

The Dodge emblem and logo were hand carved on fondant.


This cake was a Devil's food cake with chocolate buttercream and adorned with vanilla fondant.  Angelina the ballerina and the wheels were made of rice crispie treats.

Noah's Ark

Baby Parker turned one year old.  She is an adorable little girl.  Her birthday cake was inspired from the Noah's ark story. A rainbow represents "God's Promise".  The animals (giraffe, elephant, and monkey) that surrounds the cake was designed from Parker's bedroom. 


There were also a dozen of vanilla cupcake and a dozen of chocolate cupcakes with vanilla icing.  each cupcake was filled with chocolate buttercream.
