They don’t even have to look like a cake! Your special occasion cake can look like a purse, a pair of shoes, a chair and ottoman, a stack of books, a bushel of apples or a basket of summery fruit. The possibilities are endless just let your imagination go wild. We always take pride in our cakes when people walk into a room and can’t tell where the cake is when they’re staring right at it. That’s when we’ve done our job right when the bushel of apple cake doesn’t even look like a cake at all but a nice decor item in someone’s country home. Below are some photos of novelty/carved cakes we’ve had fun working on recently. Make sure to also check out our other blogs on Birthday, Wedding and Occasion cakes for other novelty ideas.
