Inspired by ... Books!


The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Books are never far from our mind. Especially these days, now that we have written one of our own and understand how involved the process is from conception to publication. We have complete respect for authors who put in a great amount of effort to share their knowledge, making many sacrifices along the way. Books have long inspired the creation of art and have brought people together. In the cake industry, books have been a continuous source of inspiration for designers.

We have assembled some of our favorite themed cakes made by cakelava and inspired by books. Many of these books are classics and included on lists of people's favorite books of all time.  Each cake included was made by Rick. All decorations were handmade and painted and the art was done freehand. The client gave Rick creative license to design the cake as he felt best, and as with most of our celebration cakes, we didn't know what the cake design would be until he was actually working on it.

We want to acknowledge each of the book authors, whose timeless words and art inspired us to create!

All Aboard the Tommy Express


Over the weekend, our country got to witness all the excitement of riding the Obama Express. We were here making cakes no where near any of the stops of that historic train ride, but we got to take a ride of our own, on the Tommy Express -- choo-choo -- which rolled his sweet little locomotive self right into Reyn's birthday party, just in time to watch him turn 1. This wasn't our first Thomas the Tank Engine sculpted birthday cake, but they are always fun to make, and yes, a lot of work. Our Thomas cake was right at home, surrounded by Thomas themed party props, and a crowd of admirers to enjoy and chew-chew-chew the Hot Fudge Sundae flavored cake.

See our Thomas the Tank Engine cake and many more birthday cakes newly posted on cakelava.com.
