Spiderman Cake

The other day I got a text message from a good friend of mine here in New York City asking if she could pass on my contact info to her friend. I of course said yes. Her friend ended up being the Tour Manager of The Killers. She was looking for a baker in the city that could do a Spiderman cake for the guitarist's son, who is turning seven years old. She contacted me and sent me a couple pictures of some ideas. I decided to do one of the buildings as the Empire State Building. They saw the Spiderman play here on Broadway and then back to the hotel for the surprise cake. I dropped the cake off this afternoon. It turned out awesome!! See the pictures below!

The majority of the cake is made with rice crispy treats except for the top of the Empire State Building, which is Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Italian Buttercream Filling. 

Spiderman is made out of compressed and molded rice crispy treats and covered in white chocolate and hand painted with food coloring. 

Easter Cake

This weekend was great! I did a cake for a Easter egg hunt party in Central Park. I did it for Lesley who is a good friend of my wife and I. She gave us a color scheme for the cake and had us take it from there.  My wife and I designed it and my wife had the genius idea of making a cameo to go on the front of the cake with the design of Pat the Bunny on it. It turned out great! Also the piped design on the cake was inspired by the invitation that Lesley sent out for the party. The colors were based on the color scheme that she gave us. You can check out Lesley's Blog for more pictures of the cake and the party. Also she is the one who we did the Charlie and Lola Cake for a while back for her daughters second birthday.
