As 2009 and the decade come to a close, we thought it would be fun to look at our five favorite designs we've done since 2005. While we've only been doing this on a part-time basis until now, we've done some memorable cakes for clients and friends. In this short little serialized list (and who doesn't like lists?) we've compiled a neat little rundown on the story behind each of these great and tasty works of art! Each day this week we will list our five favorite cakes of the last five years.
5. Dungeons and Dragons Art Cake
Danna is an avid gamer and the people requesting the cake for her wanted this cake to really pull that interest in, yet make it somehow different, adding not only our inside joke but also advancing the story. While looking through scores of archival images in our basement, Brett had the idea to use the art from the first edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook by TSR (now trademarked by Wizards of the Coast). However, instead of just merely copying the artwork, we decided to show what happened after the thieves left the statue alone, either by choice or by other means. Danna loved the cake inside and out and more importantly, they got the joke.
Brett baked the double batches used for the sheet-sized cake and made the buttercream icing using our custom family recipes. Later, after the cake cooled, I traced the image on wax paper and transferred it to the crumb-coated cake. I colored the icing to match (as closely as possible) the artwork from the book cover and carefully drew and colored in our custom artwork. The verdict? A fantastic presentation with a mouth-watering taste!
