Lychee Liqueur Cake

For Vanessa's 21st birthday, she could legally consume her alcohol and have her cake-filled liqueur bottle too! This sculpted SOHO Lychee Liqueur bottle cake was ordered by our client as a surprise gift to Vanessa, who loves the liqueur and thought it would be fun to have Rick make a cake shaped like the bottle. The lychee fruit and flavor is popular here in Hawaii, and has a wonderfully clean fruity taste that is used in dishes and drinks around town. No SOHO Lychee Liqueur was consumed during the making of this cake ... although we did think about it. Happy Birthday to Vanessa!

Until next time, Aloha!

UR Birthday

We had a lot of fun making this MICKEY'S Fine Malt Liquor bottle for Joe's birthday on Saturday. We love the addition of the puzzle on the bottle cap, something MICKEY'S is known for. Joe's fiancee, who ordered the cake as a gift for him, had requested for us to put the letters "UR" and the birthday cake icon which we thought was fantastic! We didn't realize the surprise reveal of the cake would take place at our studio. When they walked in to pick up the cake, the couple was pretty blown away and got very smiley, not unlike those goofy smiles you experience when you've been drinking too much. As we placed the cake into their vehicle, they were still all smiles which then turned into tenderness and some laughter, and you could definitely tell they were sharing a special moment together. Rick and I went back inside and commented how sweet they were, and how happy they seemed with their bottle of MICKEY'S, and that put a smile on our faces.
