A couple from Alaska wanted a "wedding cake" that depicted the scene where they became engaged. There were in Alaska looking at a beautiful iceberg while sitting on a driftwood log. | 
The iceberg had a hole in it--quite challenging to recreate with edible materials. |
The gumpaste figures were dressed just as the couple were on the day they became engaged. The ice on the lake was made of sugar. | 
Through the magic of PhotoShop, the cake is set in a scene from Alaska. |
This motorcycle-themed birthday cake was 3 1/2 ft. long x 2 1/2 ft. tall. With a base "highway" cake, it served approximately 300. |

Luau Motorcycle Cake--A Hog riding a HOG! We made this cake for an annual luau hosted by a couple who both ride HOGs.
The motorcycle is approx. 3 ft. long and the rider sits a little over 2 ft. high. The beach (which could be made into a highway) and the tank and fender were cake. The rider and motor were rice cereal treats, but could be cake if more servings were needed. |  Riding buddies for our HOG friend--courtesy of Roland's PhotoShop skills. |

Luau Cake
We did a Luau cake locally, and the big challenge was that it would be outside in almost 100 degree heat. This affected what cake, icing, and decorating media we could use. The palm trees had tubing supports and were decorated with fondant. The trunks and fronds were decorated using modeling tools and scissors. The coconuts were hand formed. An airbrush was used to add dimension.

Silicone Plastique was used to create a bottle mold. The bottles were then molded using hard candy that was cooked in the microwave until it became the color desired. Fondant was used for the bottle caps. Frosting sheets were used to print the beer logos.
Isomalt (we carry it in stock now) and hard candy molds were used for the ice cubes. Isomalt was used because it remains clear at high, hard-candy temperatures--nobody wants yellow ice! |
Notice the "puddle" of ice on the board. This was made by pouring hot Isomalt onto a silicone mat and adding a finished "ice cube" before the "puddle" became firm.

 ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’¢€Å¡ |
The pig was stacked cake covered with fondant. For the face, a support was made for the snout. The facial detail was formed by hand.
The "lime" was covered with green fondant and then hand brushed with green and yellow food color for the citrus effect.
Hand-made gum paste orchids were placed around the board. Molded shells were brushed with cocoa powder. |
 |
The "wooden planks" for the ice bucket were strips of brown marbled fondant, cut to size and let dry. After dried, they were airbrushed to add more woodgrain.
The rope for both the ice bucket and baseboard (around the cinnamon sugar sand) was created using an extruder. |
