3-D Lightning Mcqueen Cake and Custom Cookies

We did a super cute 3-D Lightning McQueen cake yesterday for a 3rd birthday party. In addition to the cake we made 30 custom sugar cookies for party favors (above). I got a few process photos of the cake:

Every 3-D cake starts as a block of cake (sorry, I didn't get that photo). I start by cutting out the main details of the shape and then I work towards the finer details.

I used a round biscuit cutter to remove cake where the wheels will be placed.

Here's Lightning with some of his details applied.

Here he is all detailed and shined up.

The final cake with the draped fondant board and the "Happy 3rd Birthday Truman" banner.

Our Most Commented-On Cake

He's baaaack....

Sublime Bakery is not your typical cake studio, our cakes are not often referred to as "traditional". We get some pretty unique requests from our clients, and that's what makes it fun to come to work everyday.
Of all our cake designs, our "Yoda" cake receives the most comments from clients who visit the shop and see his photo on the wall or in our portfolio.
I've made several Yoda cakes now but the first is still my favorite. His face was so realistic, my staff and I could swear he was "watching" us!

Cupcake Birthday Cake

We made this adorable Cupcake Cake this weekend for a 2-year old's Birthday party. Everything is edible including the "streamers", "confeti", "pearls", and "cherry". This is actually a 2-tier cake, the top tier is our White Chocolate Cake filled with Fresh Strawberries and Buttercream, the bottom tier is Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream. Yum!
My client asked that we make the matching cupcakes below for her to give her guests as favors.

Yoda

Guess who...

We created a 3-Dimensional bust of the STAR WARS character Yoda for a surprise 40th birthday party this weekend. Inside is our popular Peanut Butter and Jelly flavor combination. My client tells me that her husband, the birthday "boy", is a huge STAR WARS fan, and I have to admit, I am too. I grew up watching the classic trilogy. Han Solo was my favorite character (I'm a sucker for a tall, dark and handsome rebel!) but Yoda was always a close second.

May the force be with you!!
