R2D2 Cake


We've made a lot of cake toppers for our cupcake towers. But never have we been asked to make a replica of R2D2! This fun cake topper was for a dessert table at a recent wedding reception. A very unique cake for such a fun couple.

We enjoyed using our airbrush to achieve the shiny silver look. And the little details really make a difference.

The cake would not have been complete without Han Solo & Princess Leia!

Hawaiian Volcano Cake

We created this amazing Volcano Cake for a 5-year-old Birthday Party. Chloe, the birthday girl, loves to watch Ace of Cakes... don't we all! So for her Hawaiian Themed party she suggested a Volcano Cake... so fun! The top tier is a functioning volcano complete with dry ice. Check out some of the amazing detail Joe included in the design......

A sun umbrella, flip flops and surfboard are set in the sandy beach. It's really just brown sugar, but it looks so real!

The treasure map inspired sign we made to wish Chloe a very Happy 5th Birthday!

My Little Buddy Cake Topper

We created this My Little Buddy to sit on top of a recent cake. The Birthday Boy was turning the big 3-0! His wife told us all about his childhood and how he never went anywhere without his My Little Buddy doll (he still has it!) She brought us a picture and we recreated an edible version.

Joe went all out on the detail for this little guy. Complete with his striped shirt, overalls and freckles.

My favorite is the hair.... amazing!
