Upcountry history museum pig birthday cake









Saturday October 4, 2008 was the Upcountry History museum's 1st birthday celebration. They have 3 pig statues in the museum and wanted me to recreate one in cake for the birthday party. He was a lot of fun and a lot of work. My brother built the structure from wood and styrofoam for his legs and belly. From his bottom jaw up, he is carved vanilla cake. We covered it with fondant and airbrushed it with food coloring. The board was covered with royal icing to resemble the mud that the pigs are walking through. Before it was delivered, we carved a potato to get the shape of the bottom of a hoof and made foot prints in the mud. I was told that he was a huge hit and everyone really like him. I didn't get to stay for the party and my brother said he was glad he didn't see him get cut up and eaten. We put some long hours in to get him done, but he was cake and I'm glad he was enjoyed both to look at and taste!

Fondant cameos, flowers and pearls wedding cake

ART EATS BAKERY

I know you have heard about fondant cake icing. What you have heard is that fondant taste terrible. Well it is true if you are tasting factory made fondant. It has a plastic taste and texture.
We make our own fondant and white, milk or dark chocolate fondant. It has a softer texture and a good flavor. We use real vanilla and fresh ingredients. We also make our own butter cream icing. It goes under the fondant to help it stick to the cake and add flavor. If you want pure white, we have to use clear imitation vanilla. It still tastes a lot better than the bought kind.
We do sculpture cakes and artistic cake designs that can not be created we butter cream alone.
We do a lot of open cake tastings at David's Bridal and Demitra's Dress Emporium. Please check our website for dates and times.

First birthdays with planes in the clouds

ART EATS BAKERY



This fondant covered red velvet cake was for a little boy's frist birthday. The airplane cake was made to look like a toy plane and the side cake had blue cream cheese icing and white royal icing clouds.

As the outside of cakes have changed, so have the inside. Gone are the dry white sponge cakes of the past. Now people are choosing what they really love to eat. It could be chocolate fudge with caramel and butterfinger candy bars or Amaretto with Kaluha butter cream. Each tier can be a different flavor with any filling you can dream of. At Art Eats Bakery we make all of our cakes and icings from scratch and we only use the very best fresh ingredients. Even our fondant is scratch made and tastes great. It can be made in lots of flavors. Our cakes are all butter cakes and our butter cream is also made with fresh butter. Art Eats Bakery, Greenville, SC http://www.arteatsbakery.com/ sales@arteats.com

Fondant college anuals Groom's cake

ART EATS BAKERY

This cake was created for a Groom who attended Clemson University, UT Austin, and Cornell University. The cakes even look like they have pages in them. The Clemson cake has an orange tiger paw, UT Austin a Longhorn and Cornell a bear paw and the building is on the cover.

Clemson Tiger paw graduation cake

ART EATS BAKERY
I had a lot of fun making this fondant covered Clemson tiger paw graduation cake. I love to carve a cake into the shape I want freehand. This was a big 10" X 6" cake and it really stood out. The reason it has the sheen is because I airbrushed it with orange food color. The cake was a red velvet with cream cheese filling. I always want the cake to taste as good or better than it looks. If you have an idea for a cake that is unusual, I can create it. I love to do anything that's different. As the outside of cakes have changed, so have the inside. Gone are the dry white sponge cakes of the past. Now people are choosing what they really love to eat.

Cake tasting at David's Bridal


Saturday I had a cake tasting at David's bridal on Haywood Road in Greenville, SC. It was very well recieved and I will be doing it again soon. Please check my website for dates and times.
I made vanilla butter cake with vanilla icing, red velvet with cream cheese icing and chocolate fudge mocha with vanilla icing. The biggest complement I get is when they first taste my icing. It does not have any shortening or powdered sugar in it. It is made with real butter and a mousse' base. It's very light and not real sweet. I think most people have not had real scratch made butter cakes and icings from a bakery. You all should have a taste.
You don't have to be a bride to attend the tastings. I look forward to meeting you. http://arteatsbakery.com sales@arteats.com

Dog yappy birthday



ART EATS BAKERY
Last night I went to my first doggy birthday party . It was held at the Barkery Bistro on Main Street in Greenville SC. I created a carrot bacon and chicken cake for the birthday boy ( Bentley - a 4 year old Golden retreiver). It turned into a big bash with about 40 people and their pets. I was really amazed at how well behaved all of the dogs were. There were all sizes and breeds. There were no fights even when when the cake was served. Every one had a blast and really enjoyed the cake.

Wedding cake contest

Well I know I said I was going to post each tier of my dummy cake for a contest in September. I forgot to do it. Here are the first 4 tiers. It has sugar flowers, pearls, crystals, and cameos. They are all handcrafted by me and edible. I like to use sugar art decorations instead of things that are not edible.
I may not finish it for a while. I found out that my son is getting married on the day of the contest. I hope there will be another close by sometime soon. The only other big one that I knowof is in Tusa Oklahoma. I don't think I can get to that one this year. http://www.arteatsbakery.com

I sometimes make a cake to try out design ideas and want to see what you think. This is a fondant covered cake that I designed with sugar sculpture heart and flowers. The flowers have royal icing pearls for the centers and the hearts have royal icing pearls and Fleur de lis. The top has orange royal icing pearls in the shape of hearts and pink flowers. Let me know if you like it or have some suggestions.
