Cakes for our Families!

Creating cakes for cake bar employees and their families is always fun.  This cake for Joey's daughter was one of our first Dr. Who cakes.  His idea was to create the illusion of the TARDIS flying through space.  I think Aubrey really pulled it off!

When Marissa's sister Bethy turned 16, we created a cake to be served at her party at Toby Keith's restaurant where the highlight of the evening (after the presentation of the cake of course!) was the mechanical bull riding!

Abby turned 18 last year and she is a huge fan of everything Great Gatsby!  She asked that I mention Leonardo DiCaprio in this post on the off chance that that might get his attention and lead to him visiting the cake bar!!! LOL 

My son, Connor, turned 13 this year and I really felt pressure to deliver a great cake!  Another Dr. Who fan, I included the TARDIS and many of his other favorite things.  I had to steal them from his room and bring them to the bakery where Lexi helped me replicate them in modeling chocolate, fondant, cake, and rice krispy treats.  He was really surprised! 

Aubrey made this cake for her Uncle. He is an avid off-road enthusiast!  Coming up with unique designs for men can be challenging, so this cake is often requested now that we have it posted on our website.

Minecraft - Where did it come from and why is it so popular?

Am I the only adult that doesn't know what Minecraft is?  I feel like i've now turned into my parents and don't know anything about current trends, music, games, etc.  It's a very sad, sad thing!  I say this because we're literally asked to design minecraft cakes weekly at this point, and I have no clue what it is. It's our biggest trending cake theme right now.  First of all, I kept referring it to it as Mindcraft until one of the "kids" that works at the bakery finally corrected me and informed me it was minecraft today.  That made me feel like my mother, lol.  She would have absolutely been referring to it incorrectly, and 20 years ago I would have absolutely mocked her VERY similarly to the way the bakery teenagers mocked me today.  I also made reference to the cakes reminding me of tetris, and they all looked at me with blank stares.... Just another reminder of my increasing age!

In any case, I've been set straight now. If you call, I will know it's minecraft and not mindcraft.  And, I now know its not similar to tetris, lol.  Hope you enjoy these latest pics!  Tracie
