You mean they butcher them, not a separate eatin' cake.

The cretins.

I know!

My sister's mother-in-law still makes decorated cakes.
Really heavy Royal icing, plastic figures and the heaviest sponge imaginable.
Mum got me one for my 21st. My brother and I joked that we couldn't even put the leftovers out for the birds, because the cat would be in feather heaven, what with them being unable to fly away.

They were designed to be looked at. In a heavy handed late 80s-early 90s way.
When I found out she'd made one for my niece's 21st I sent my brother a text immediately (he was in the US.) I saw a photo of it. She hasn't learned any more skills since she made mine!
Sorry, I know that's nasty of me. But that's what happens when everyone just accepts your cakes are inedible.

Mine were nowhere near as gorgeous as yours, but people ate them. How wonderful to be creating edible art.

Even edible bricks, made for a lego theme wedding.

Quote:

Meet newlyweds Emma and Jon Chapman, the British couple behind THAT Lego wedding cake, which went viral last week and prompted orders from across the world. The influx of orders to family-owned baking business in South London, Cupcakes by SJ (aka Emma’s cousin, aunt and uncle), was so huge, they even had to take to Facebook to say they couldn’t possibly fulfill them.

Lego cakes are really popular these days. There are a lot of gadgets you can buy to make it easier to create them too. I've been avoiding making one because most people really don't want to pay the amount it would cost to make one.

Piñata cake, pretty clever.

Sundae · 11-20-2015, 05:38 AM

Yebbut how do you stop the kids from just smacking it into cake crumbs?

glatt · 11-20-2015, 07:19 AM

And how do you cut it into slices? You'd need a big serving tray and flop it onto its side to operate on it, and that defeats the presentation.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-20-2015, 07:47 AM

Ever see what happens to a real piñata, flopping it on it's side is nothing.

Aliantha · 11-25-2015, 05:16 PM

That's a pretty impressive cake. I'll bet the kids would have loved it!

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2015, 06:16 PM

That's what I though. Does you business drop off in the summer?
