Carved Cakes

Carrot Flavored Vanity Bag Fondant Cake for Lai
Carving cake is not an easy thing to do, planning and imagination are greatly needed to execute what you visualise, plus you have to be very careful in doing it, as one wrong cut could ruin your cake.

Our latest carved cake is a simple pink bag with compact powder and lipstick beside. We used carrot cake for this as requested by the client for her birthday, she also provided the design for us.

Of all our carved cakes, we can say that our camera cake was the toughest design we've made, almost following the real camera 
SLR Fondant Cake for Lois, Dimension 3x6x5.5
dimension gave us a hard time in making it stand on its own without breaking. We checked the net for camera cakes and noticed that the body of camera cake is wider than the real SLR, the reason behind that for it to stand, the depth of the body must be wide and the lens will give an additional support. But we wanted to make it real so we copied the dimension of the camera with depth of 3 in., real camera depth is 2.9 in. After covering the body with fondant, we immediately placed the lens, already covered with fondant, as support to make sure that it won't fall.

Burger Themed Fondant Cake for Jaimee
Another carved cake we created was burger cake, it was easier compared to camera cake, except for the color of fondant, we need to mix colors to make it look real. After covering the carved cake, we add some cuts on the  fondant and real sesame seeds to achieve a "real bun" look.

We were able to make a total of 6 carved cakes since we started last December 2011. 

Our first carved cake was made after a month we started our cake business . It was lightning Mcqueen.
