Red. Yellow. Balloons. You guessed it right, this is a Curious George Inspired Cake that I did for a client a few weeks ago. This cake would have been perfect with a monkey fondant figurine topper in the middle, but unfortunately I did not have time to make one. So, this is it! However, I still think the cake itself is pretty cute. It may look like a simple cake yet it requires multiple steps in preparations in which you will see below. For me, one exciting thing about making this cake is making the three-dimension balloons for the top tier. It is indeed my first time creating the free flowing fondant figurines using the support of green floral wires.

Sleeping-in is definitely one of the perks of being a teenager—the days where you just have too much time on your hands with too little things to do. This cake represents a teenage boy who sleeps in until 5:00 pm. Most of us can probably relate to sleeping-in at some points in our lives during our teenage years. The sarcasm behind the cake simply indicates that teenagers will never know this is a given luxury they had until they enter adulthood, where sleeping-in is almost nonexistent. For me, making this cake also brings back a lot of memories. One of many good things about my childhood was sleeping in until noon and stayed in bed just to read a few non-fictional love books. I remembered staying in bed as long as I could until my mom had to wake me up for breakfast. I miss these days so much now that I have two little ones and sleeping past 8 :00 am is considered a "sleep-in" morning for us. A high school friend has recently asked me to make this cake for her stepson's birthday. She believes this is a perfect cake for a teenage boy—or at least for him. I have yet made a bed cake, and thought this is an opportunity to make something different (again!). As always, I like to be able to create my own design that is beyond what is presented to me. I enjoy exploring different cake styles and constantly looking forward to better my "cake arts.” |
