Cool Cake Corner

In today's Cool Cake Corner segment, I am sharing this delightful and fun Valentine's Day Cake. Isn't it cute? I would love to learn how to do that, especially how to stack the cakes in that wonky way. And how to work with gum paste and fondant and pastillage. Hmmm...how would one learn that?

Oooohhh, I know! I know! I could take a 2 week Masters Course from the Wilton School in Chicago!

I would love to do that. And I may be able to, who knows? I'm not sure that I could get a babysitter for that long, but I am going to use this as a reward for breaking 169. I printed off a reminder for my fridge with a few cute cakes on it, hoping that this will keep me from grazing when I'm not hungry. I also have a few other rewards set up at strategic weight-milestones for added incentive.

For now, I guess I'll just do the best I can with the limited cake knowledge that I have. I'm planning on making some cakes this coming week for Valentine's Day. If they turn out nice, I'll post the pics. Wish me luck!

I think I mentioned before how much I love cake. So, since I can't/shouldn't be eating any cakes, I thought maybe I'd "have" cake by posting about fun/beautiful/creative cakes every so often.

I could literally watch people make extraordinary cakes all day long. One of my favorite cake shows is Ace of Cakes on Food Network. It showcases the creations of Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, Maryland. The X-wing fighter on the right is one of theirs, and I will dedicate this cake to my 10 year-old son, Obi-Wan. He LOVES Star Wars.
