Although the bride's cake is usually the focal point of a wedding, I thought I would inaugurate my first blog post with a little chat about fun groom's cakes. I live in a southern state, so about 3/4 of the guys want a groom's cake of some sort, whether it's cookies and cupcakes or an elaborate sculpted cake.
In the past month I had opportunities to make some fun and challenging groom's cakes. (It's not really a worthwhile week without a design challenge!)
Yes, this armadillo was a red velvet cake. I might email the bride for some pics of the poor guy butchered. It was a challenge to finish, though, since I hadn't done one before. I ended up cutting out each scale individually in fondant. It was also the first time I had done a stadium, so I had fun (and frustration) figuring out how to make the different elements, especially the stands. It was a surprise for the groom - I can't wait to hear what his reaction was!

Just when I thought your cake designs couldn't get any awesomer...
Love the stadium, Paloma! What a fun surprise for the die-hard football fan! Can't wait to see more pics of your work.
These are fabulous!
In an attempt to show Ross that we have "the coolest cake lady in Austin!" I showed him the stadium. NOW he gets it. Great job on the blog!
