Wall-E Cake

 

This cake is "Wall-E" a robot from its namesake animated movie. Wall-E lives in a future, uninhabitable, deserted Earth in 2805.  WALL•E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) is the last robot left on Earth, programmed to clean up the planet, one trash cube at a time. However, after 700 years, he has developed one little glitch—a personality. He’s extremely curious, highly inquisitive, and a little lonely.

WALL-E uses a truck  as a home. He uses parts from other inactive robots to repair itself. He recharges itself  by "sun bathing" under the solar light. He has a pet cockroach as a companion.   During his trash compacting he comes across objects that perk his curiosity so he brings them back to his truck and saves them in his collection. This robot is so cute, must have watched the movie 10 times. 

I have been wanting to make this Wall-E cake for a while. In the movie Wall-E changes expression with his "eye" movements. I dont think I got an expression in this cake Wall-E, but it was fun to make. It was a walnut craisin vanilla cake with creamy filling.

Chanel Purse Cake

 

Chanel is an iconic French luxury fashion house celebrated for its high fashion. It was founded in 1910 by "Coco" Chanel in Paris with revolutionary "comfortable" yet elegant fashion that liberated women from restrictive corsets. This Chanel handbag cake features the signature double-C turn-lock, double flap design, interwoven leather-and-chain strap, and diamond quilting. A high-end purse is much more than a functional storage accessory—it serves as a vehicle for expression of confidence and self empowerment. 

This edible representative of fashion was an almond cake with chocolate ganache filling. Yum. 

A girl should be two things- Classy and fabulous---- Coco Chanel. 

I dont care what you think of me, I dont think of you at all--- Coco Chanel.

Drum Cake

 

A drum cake for my musically inclined brother.  There was a time when drums served as tools for long distance communication, announcing events, and passing down history and cultural identity.  Maybe this mode of communication still exists.  

This was a vanilla cake with walnuts and craisins and a raspberry filling. May this drum cake herald peace on Earth.   

 

"The drum without a drummer is silent." — African Proverb 

(Meaning: Tools and potential are useless without effort and engagement).

 

Another purse cake

 

The purse cake represents a fascinating amalgam of culinary art and fashion and has gained popularity as a "statement" piece that acts as a conversation starter at events. I made this as a fun gift for a lovely aunt’s 83^rd birthday where it was more an edible centerpiece than dessert.  It is not an edible knockoff of any brand.

 

While we enjoy our lovely parties let’s not forget the less fortunate in this world, especially those living in war-torn areas. While we wish and pray for harmony, global peace is currently at its lowest level in recent history.  WORLD---PLEASE STOP FIGHTING.
