The Doctor is in!
A (relatively) quick birthday cake for my friend Jeff’s two sons, the names are blurred out to protect their privacy, you never know where/how these social engineering jerkwads get stuff. It was pretty cool how Somara did the main attraction, … Continue reading

Anime Cake, I think
A specialty cake Somara delivered this Friday for someone who is really into anime and/or videogames. I can’t recall which. I know it’s a Japanese character/villain. If you can explain it, please, post away to clue the rest of us … Continue reading

February is practically over so that means Austin’s annual cake decorating (and etc.) competition was upon us. This year the theme was superheroes/comics. Since Somara took third with her retro Sci-Fi cookies, she stuck with this category and really pushed … Continue reading

iPad Cake
Good thing I saved the box mine came in so Somara could have a reference and cake materials wouldn’t get all over mine.

Felix da Cake
Somara made this for her co-workers. Something to do with her job is about all I know and what do I care, I get to eat the scraps! I like the touch of Felix’s trademark bag being present. When I … Continue reading

Iron Man
Cue the Black Sabbath guitar! Somara’s latest creation is a birthday cake for a little boy we know indirectly. He really enjoyed the current sequel (I missed it) despite it being a tad long for his attention span. Hopefully he … Continue reading

Braaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiins Cake
Somara made this one as a gift for a co-worker/friend of hers. It’s a very rich cheesecake and judging by its appearance, it could make a zombie drool despite their lack of functional fluids: blood namely.

Baby Shower 2010
This cute farm animal piece was commissioned by the nice couple Dave & Tracy again. Some friends are having their first child so I’m guessing a nursery theme was the objective. Back when Somara was planning this, I figured she … Continue reading

Happy Birthday from Optimo Primo
The title is a little inside joke regarding my mother-in-law telling Somara what Cannon wanted for his birthday (on the cake). Maybe that’s Optimus Prime’s name in Italian. This one definitely shows off her skills with the airbrush we bought … Continue reading

Sonic Screwdriver
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking…it resembles a lightsabre. I myself didn’t know what the Doctor’s omni-tool looked like either. To me the tool was always a cop-out for the writers to get the characters out of trouble, similar to … Continue reading

Princess Birthday Cake, Oct. 2009
The Princess of our Sunday Mornings had this special birthday cake put together. Don’t let the “simple” design on the surface fool you. It’s what’s underneath the frosting which rocks…chocolate pudding for filling! Somara assures me this design matches up … Continue reading
