Cake Inspired by Candy Land

One of our new favorite Candy Land themed cakes, Rick made this adorable cake for a 2 year old's birthday party last weekend. Our client flew in from Las Vegas to celebrate with her family and friends and requested a Candy Land theme with lollipops, ice cream cones, peppermint candy and the Candy Land sweets trail, and she got all that she asked for, and more! Rick made all the candy by hand, and included a large variety of goodies on the cake. Both the client and Rick felt "old school" was the way to go for the design. Not knowing in advance what her little girl's cake would look like, our client was so excited when she saw the cake and couldn't wait to show it off at the party.  She chose flavors both sweet (Hot Fudge Sundae) and tropical (Guava Lava) for the cake.  I love the addition of the happy face lollipops and that is exactly how this cake made us feel.  Happy!

CANDY LAND Cake!

We knew ahead of time 8-8-09 was going to be one of those cringe-inducing dates, not unlike 8-8-08 where we were booked solid for months prior, worked 11+ hour days the week of, and would spend the actual day going from event to event. However, the way these well-requested dates go -- yes, they are a LOT of work -- but we always have a bunch of cool cakes in the mix, and this past weekend was no different. One of the cakes we were most excited about was our sculpted CANDY LAND cake which was made for the niece of one of our previous bride's birthday party. For the Candy Land themed party we were hired to make a big sculpted Candy Land cake that resembled the board game as well as cupcake tiers with a cake to match. Rick pulled out all the stops on this one, making and painting every piece by hand. Considering how many other cakes with involved artistry he made for the weekend (one was the ocean themed wedding cake) , the level of detail was amazing! The cupcake tiers were also involved, and designed to compliment the Candy Land cake.
