Category Archives: Somara’s Cakes

This recent weekend was rather busy thanks to a concert (which I will post very late thanks to me forgetting my camera at home) and a wedding up north in Waco. The post is obviously about the latter. Co-worker and … Continue reading →

Normally Somara hands these out to our co-workers closer to the holiday but due to her hectic schedule next week (a wedding cake and a birthday set up), she put together her ghoulish treats sooner. The eyeballs were a new … Continue reading →

Another fun, creative piece commissioned by Somara’s benefactors. This time for their baby shower. Most of the geek/nerd faction at the party were amused to see a baby Cthulhu cake topper. One person mistook the “girl” in the carriage to … Continue reading →

For our little friend’s third birthday, Somara crafted together a dozen cupcakes of Thomas who is a frequent favorite of little children. However, Somara threw in a little twist by bringing them to the weekly breakfast gathering unfinished so Corrin … Continue reading →

Although my birthday isn’t until Wednesday, Somara whipped together this Spongebob-themed cake for me to share with my Sunday breakfast club. It was a hit. No one can say no to chocolate in the morning! Going with this cartoon character … Continue reading →

A co-worker/friend has a son who is at that age when he is completely fascinated with trains and cars, thus he wanted a birthday cake designed with the Thomas theme. I’m not knocking it. I fondly remember my brother and … Continue reading →

This was a birthday cake for our friends the Simmons. As you can see, this kitten has bitten off more than she can chew. Somara wanted to make a realistic-looking cat but she said it wasn’t possible with the materials … Continue reading →

This has got to be the girliest cake Somara has ever made but it’s expected for a three-year-old. I need to ask Elizabeth’s father if she’s obsessed with horses like all young females. Nice to see the airbrush Somara bought … Continue reading →

I joked with Somara about having the banner’s wording re-arranged like Yoda’s vocal patterns. Then again, the people who bought it would’ve thought it was an error. Still, it’s pretty impressive cake because everything is edible: snakes, vines, the sign. … Continue reading →

Another great job by Somara! I even got a piece of it this morning with our weekly breakfast club. Nothing like chocolate cake following a breakfast of bagels, lox and chai latte. I have them hold the capers, those things … Continue reading →

Not when it’s made of chocolate! This was a very, super special birthday cake for someone who’s a huge fan of the movie so I knew he’d understand most of the little jokes. Somara was very dedicated to this project … Continue reading →

While I was having a good time at Neko Case’s concert, Somara took a one-night class at All-in-One Bake Shop to hone her fondant skills. What is fondant? Think of it as Play-Doh frosting but not as nasty tasting. You … Continue reading →

I told Somara not to stress out so much because I knew she’d walk away with some kind of award or prize. People don’t say nice things about her work out of kindness, especially if they paid money for it. … Continue reading →

Somara took the day off from work to participate and attend in a cake baking/decoration contest. It wasn’t one of those exaggerated, Ace of Cakes crap things. It was a matter in which the cake has to actually taste good … Continue reading →
