Whenever life gets busy and slightly overwhelming, my blog is typically the first thing I set aside. I started a new job three weeks ago, and I have projects coming out the wazoo. I plan on posting at least once a week so you can see a little of what I've been up to. One of the projects I completed on Saturday is a cake for a birthday girl who turned one. One a scale of 1 to 10 for cuteness, I think it's a 10. I loved how it turned out.
These are the boob cakes - the start of the owl.
Shaped
Iced and fondant work
I painted the "feathers" with food coloring for a bit of visual texture.

ReplyDeleteI so love this. I am owl crazy! I really have to get my daughter to make this for my birthday. I could do it, but who wants to make their own Birthday cake?
ReplyDeleteThis is the most fabulous decorated cake ive seen in a longlong while, as im a new visitor I am unsure whether you are professional or not...but if you arnt you SO should be! People would pay a lot for little cuties like this :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is amazing! I love owls and this is the best owl cake i have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to attempt to make this this weekend... my daughter is turning 5 and has expressed a desire for an owl cake (though pink, with blue wings, purple eyes & yellow tummy - as you do). Wish me luck - if it turns out ok I'll post a link to a photo! I've never worked with fondant before... thanks for giving the steps :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/chooknage/6061408917/in/photostream it's not as professional-looking as yours, but it is at least owl-ish. Thanks for again for the directions. My Miss E loves it :-)
ReplyDeleteI made one and it was sooo YUMMIE! Loved the way the owl looked!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat color did you use to paint the fondant for texture? This is so adorable! I'm going to try this weekend! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute. I put a link to your article on my french blog.
ReplyDeleteHi, I was wondering what you used to bake the cake in? I have seen others use glass pyrex bowls that are preheated oven safe. Is that what you used? If not, would it work? Will the cake cook through? I'm sorry for all the questions but hubby won't let me spend money on said bowl unless a true cook/baker gives it the go ahead.
ReplyDeleteAna, I used a cake mold for a soccer ball/golf ball. It is two half circles with a little stand for support. You should be able to get it at most decor stores.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable owl cake! It would be a great entry into the Cake Decorating Challenge on Instructables.com. You should take a look :)

I would love to make this cake for my daughter's first b-day in Oct. I've never use fondant. Can you buy it already made and in different colors? What about cutters. Can you buy cutters to cut out the feather shapes, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes. You can buy pre-made fondant in different colors. There are tons of cutters out there. If you do a little browsing, I'm pretty sure you can find exactly what you're wanting. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Cutest cake ever! I would never eat it! it's adorable!!
