Sneak Peak: Slice of Cake

I just finished prepping the board for one of this weekends cakes. It s a giant slice of cake - flavors will be chocolate with caramel smbc.  I"m loving the orange, green and yellow color scheme.





Stay tuned for post of actual cake!

Donut Cake

I had soooo much fun making this cake. After researching donut cakes online I found a quick video on youtube by UrbanSweetsLA. I started off with a 10”x4” round vanilla cake, which was filled and coated with Vanilla SMBC. I then carved the cake to resemble a donut shape.


I then mixed white and chocolate fondant together to make the “donut” color (it’s a little darker than I would have liked) and covered the cake.



Pink fondant “frosting”

For presentation purposes I stopped by my local Dunkin Donuts to get a box ($.50), I think this added a better touch than just a decorated cakeboard.

The final cake!
