I Love the 80's - cake!

The best part of making this cake was our teams brainstorming session. It was so fun to remember the haircuts (flock of seagulls), the sayings (grody to the max), and the neon colors that were everywhere from sunglasses to paint splattered bandanas. All of us had a different approach to the cake so the list of possible items to include on the cake became very long. Some of the things that didn't make it on the cake were risky business sunglasses, snorks, Howard Jones, Beat Street, any of John Hughes movies, and hacky sacks. But this cake is an homage to all of those who are proud to say they cuffed their acid washed jeans, remember when MTV played music videos, and looked at life through slits in their sunglasses.

Yes that is a rubics cube (made from rice cereal treats) and pictures of Cyndi Lauper and Gem; I used to love watching Gem and always wanted to have wild pink hair! We also created a classic NES controller, the Thundercats logo, edible images of Miami Vice, The Goonies and Run DMC. The cake was just as fun to make as it is to look at and think " OMG! I remember ..."

Mad Science Birthday Cake

We had so much fun creating a mad science themed birthday cake for an awesome 5 year. The cake was an explosion of color, texture, and it was a feast for your senses. We included a rocket ship made of rice cereal treats, 2 boiling beakers also made of rice cereal treats, and atoms bursting of the cake on wires. There are chemical symbols, atom rings, green slime, and lightening bolts. Then we layered it with swirls of color, stars, and dots. Our inspiration for this design was fueled by the Mad Science party team. (http://www.madscience.org/) They come to your party and conduct experiments and entertain the kids while the teach. They have invitations you can use and also goodie bags for the kids. The birthday message and rocket close up. We cut out letters and then piped over them for extra color. We make our cakes to be viewed 360 degrees, so here is the back side of the cake. It also has full decoration with atoms bursting, atom string and chemical symbols. just another angle of the cake... We also created a smaller version of the cake for the birthday boy. He wanted a chocolate cake so we made him his own chocolate cake and the big cake was a tier of lemon and a tier of marble. We took the beaker from the top of the big cake down to picture with his cake.
