Takes the Cake

The last thing I thought I would be posting about again was cakes. However, with the success of the my previous creations came another gig, this time for a 9-year-old girl's spa-themed birthday party.


This is what is known as a "piñata cake", which involved having a speckled, M&M-covered, angel food cake underneath a hard chocolate shell. To go with the theme, the shell became a mud mask of sorts, complete with cucumber eye coverings (watermelon candy), a breathing hole for the mouth (toasted marshmallow teeth with licorice lips), luxurious, spa-treated hair (gummy worms), and a candy necklace (candy necklace).

I had pretty much assumed that they would "eat it up", as it were, but it was quite another thing to witness these innocent little girls crack open the face with a big hammer and cut it to pieces using a large knife, all the while violently screaming "HIT IT IN THE FOREHEAD!" and "STAB IT IN THE NOSE!"

However, if that sounds like fun to you, and as it is starting to become an unstoppable trend, please feel free to email me to have your own memorable custom birthday cake made and delivered to your party anywhere in the lower mainland of Vancouver, BC. My wife makes the really good actual cake part of the cake, and I'm really good at buying candy, so its a melt-in-your-mouth match made in heaven. And before anyone asks, no, we won't make erotic cakes...
