Wizard of Oz Cake

Did anyone said sugar? Well, this weekend one of the birthday cakes that we did was a Wizard of Oz theme cake with Emerald City on top. My client found a similar design on the Internet and since Isabella, the 4 years-old birthday girl was afraid of the witch's legs being smashed by the cake, I suggested that we could have her legs in a less dramatic situation. So I decided to do sort of a chute out of the tin cake which was the bottom tier, and then make the witch look like she fell inside of  it. I think it turned out amazing and "Emerald city" on top complemented perfect the theme of the cake!! We poured green Isomalt sugar into the molds that we did using "silicone plastique" which is sold by "make your own molds" and there were three different sizes for the columns.We put a LED light on the back of the city and it looks awesome!! 
The bottom tier was marble cake with chocolate ganache and top tier was coconut cake with coconut cream....yummy!!

Learning with the Cake Pros



Last week I was in Phoenix, Arizona attending one of the Hands-on classes at the World Pastry Championships. Instructors Marina Sousa and James Rosselle were amazing sharing lots of techniques and stories about their business. They were very open to questions and comments among the students which I really like. Personally, I like sharing my knowledge with people who really appreciate my talent, so I'm very thankful with those who do the same with me!! I was so excited to try Marina's beads molds using isomalt and let me tell you that those molds are awesome. I got all three molds the last day of class and I can wait to star using them to do lots of sugar beads to decorate my Cakes . You can purchase Marina's Sugar beads molds at www.makeyourownmolds.com
Another great thing that I really enjoy was watching James doing what he knows to do best: sugar flowers. I was looking forward to meet James again because back in 2007 when I took Colette Peters class at the Notter School of Pastry Art in Orlando, Florida he was a student at the school and I remember how impressed everybody were, including me of course, when he showed us these amazing tulips and orchids that look just like real flowers.
Also I need to tell you about these great supplies that we used during the whole class and help us working on the two projects that we did. Chef Rubber products are so nice to work with, very good quality!! 
I really liked trying the luster dust, pearls and some other products that really catched my attention, so........yes, I already placed my order and supplied Mayu's Cakes shop with great decorating stuff.
