More Cakes for Men

Here are two more entries in the cakes for men category which represent two popular "man sports".  Those sports are camping and poker.  Of course!





Mike is camping here with his four boys.



Real cards from the dollar store top this cake.  Poker chips are fondant
rounds decorated with the indispensable edible ink marker.



Tracing with Icing

With a technique called a "frozen buttercream transfer", you can create very specific images without the artificial look (and significant expense) of images printed from a computer using frosting sheets.  Reverse images are traced on to wax paper, frozen, then flipped onto a cake top.

This cake was served at a rehearsal dinner to honor the groom's alma mater.





Celebrating the anniversary of a wedding that took place in an exotic location.
 Hibiscus flowers added a little dimension to the cake top.

A Few Cakes for the Men

Cakes for the guys can be challenging.  The design can either focus on "man colors", which usually includes black in a stripey pattern, or it can focus on a hobby.  The first cake was created for a handyman and is decorated with tools molded from white chocolate in a brown fondant tool belt.  The chocolate was painted with edible petal dust and pearl dust to get the look of metal.  The next two cakes were created for fishermen. 

"Daddy's" little white dog is always by his side, so we put him in the boat!

This was a groom's cake... fondant covered red velvet cake.  Wish I had seen the first cut!
