The Week of the Geek! (cake, that is)

Monday, September 29th, 2008


I confess. I’m a nerd. I married a nerdy geek, and most of my friends are some combination of the two :)
Lately, we’ve had a run of orders for geeky / nerdy cakes, and I LOVE it! There’s a wedding cake in December that I’m very much looking forward to doing (Super Mario!), and a World of Warcraft groom’s cake next summer that is going to be *awesome*. This weekend was the “Week of the Geek”, with not one, but THREE nerd/geek cakes! (more…)

Geeking out on a Delorean!

This past weekend, I made a birthday cake for my brilliant friend Spencer. I think I’ll let the photos speak for themselves!

Seriously. How cool is that? I love Back to The Future! I love doing Nerdy cakes!

First Magazine Shoot!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008


Hey all,
So today was an event I’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks – I was asked to provide a cake for a Minnesota Bride photo shoot! This would be my first magazine shoot, so that’s a cool milestone.

The idea was to make something “spring” oriented, and they requested a new version of one of my recent wedding cakes – the piped meringue flowers one.. only in bright colors. How fun! Not fun to pipe, just fun to see it come together. I wonder if they read my blog entry on the first one, and how much I hate piping flowers? They’d have to be sadists, in that case, LOL.

While it’ll be cool to see the finished layout, I don’t have a ton to report on how the day went. I dropped the cake off early this morning, then had to hightail it over for a physical therapy appointment. (No good news to report on that front, I’m afraid!). Then I had to bide my time until I was to pick up the cake at the end of the shoot.
