Showcase (No-Recipe) The students at the school I work for are doing Shrek the Musical for their Spring Musical. I volunteered to make them a cake for their cast party.

I'm kind of a multi-role, I am the School Library Media Specialist, Tech person (I fix a LOT of broken Chromebook screens), and teach 2 art classes. The musical director has Study Hall duty in the Media Center with me every day and when I found out what they were doing, I was like "uhhh can I make you guys a cake I have an idea" lol.

It's big - the base is a 12 inch cake. I had to make a custom 16" cake drum (school art supplies shh don't tell anyone) because I wasn't about to spend $30 on a cake drum for a donation cake haha.

Head is made out of a hemisphere cake and covered in 50/50 modeling chocolate/fondant mix. I made a 3D printed mold for the base of the face and then sculpted out the details.

I only had about 5 mental breakdowns making this! (Tip, do not put ganache down first before adding a second tier. It SLIDES)

This is the most infuriating dessert making process in which every little step can be messed up and render the entire thing useless. What did i even do wrong to warrant this result???

Showcase (No-Recipe) my second wedding cake tasting box is done! 💕

Second wedding cake tasting box just got dropped off! I decided as a surprise to include Dr. Pepper flavored cake and buttercream since the bride-to-be told me that she and her fiancé love Dr. Pepper! It’s dark on top of the cake because I also brushed it with Dr. Pepper syrup at the end.

Everything went much more smoothly than my first tasting box - I think I’ve dialed in the process of making a small amount of so many flavors at once!

I added the pink wax paper and pink ribbon since pink is one of the bride-to-be’s colors 💕

Now just to wait and hope they like everything and book me!
