I believe this is the 3rd Transformers cake I’ve made. Possibly the 4th. I forget. It’s for sure, one of the coolest.
I decided I wanted to make “metal” panels for the sides of this cake. I cut the panels from grey fondant and then added “screws” to the corners by cutting little circles and scoring them.
I lined the cake with the panels and then painted them with edible silver shimmer. A few “rusty” accents and I was loving how it was shaping up.
Finally, I decided to add some “patches” here and there for a more worn look. I was really happy with the results!
Funny enough, when I went to cut out the logo, I planned to print it out, lay it over my fondant and cut from there. Well, my printer had other plans and refused to print! I was furious, but I calmed myself down and cut the design out free hand, using a photo on my phone as reference. Not bad if I do say so myself.
I love this cake!
Also, wish me luck… I’m fighting the mobs to go Christmas shopping today lol.

I wish I could take credit for this clever cake idea, but this is what my friend Jane requested haha.
She wanted something funny and cute for her 50th birthday and this was just the thing.
I hand made the bra by piecing together fondant…
I tried to be as detailed as possible, adding lace and stitching and other little details here and there like the lacing.
I must say, it all came together nicely!
Hilariously, in the end, I had to fill the bra cups with icing so they could stand on their own, as I didn’t have time to dry the piece for several days haha!

I think this is technically my third steak cake related post lol. It just turns out that the steak cake is a popular subject…
And I think I’ve really perfected this whole thing haha.
I decided to make a label… I did a google image search and found a label I liked. I made a few… changes to it lol
I even made some garnish for this one. Some leaves to kind of set off the whole thing like it’s sitting on a nice bed of greens.
Of course, the cake was red velvet.
I’m told he didn’t even want to cut it! :D
