I made this cake for my son’s 6th birthday. He’s been an Angry Birds fan for a while now and had discovered the various variations of the game on our smart phone, so he wanted an Angry Birds Star Wars cake. I figured Chewbacca would be the easiest to do, with butter cream ”fur”. The lettering and … Read more
I did this simple R2D2 cake by first making two 8X11 sheets. I used one for the body and the other one for the head and arms. Before cutting them I had previously measured and cut the right proportions for everything. I highly recommend doing that! Also make sure you freeze your cake before cutting. Next … Read more

My daughter loves The Hunger Games books, so the girls had borrowed toy weapons from their brothers, surprised my daughter in … Read more
My son has two loves in life – Star Wars, and Fireman Sam. I had tried to get him to choose between the two for his 4th birthday cake but he kept changing his mind! Eventually, the day before his party, I sketched out a design for this mix & match cake and he LOVED … Read more
This Star Wars cake was relatively simple to create. The brief was to give a ‘geeky surprise’ to an adult Star Wars fan. The cake itself is a simple vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream.

I was asked to make a Hunger Games cake for a friend. I did tons of research and decided on just replicating the book. But in much larger scale. I was really worried about making the Mockingjay pin that goes on the front because that is a lot of sculpting, which I don’t really do. … Read more
