Cake My Day Inspirations: Food Crafts for Kids — UP CAKE

March 6, 2015 By Shelley Zurek 240 Comments

Introducing “Cake My Day” Cake Design Cookbook

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Sweetworks. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.

UP cake Cake My Day 700 3

Introducing CAKE MY DAY by Karen Tack & Alan Richardson

This month Sweetworks sent us over a box filled with goodies and one simple mission – make a cake that’s inspired by a soon-to-be released book Cake My Day and utilizes some of the candies in the box. Challenge accepted!

Cake My Day

UP Cake inspired by CAKE MY DAY

We flipped through the book, getting inspired and then went to work creating another kid-themed treat (like our Christmas Santa Hat Cake or our Halloween Eyeball Spiders). There is an amazing looking balloon cake in the new CAKE MY DAY book called Up, up and away, that started the ball rolling. Balloons are great but what do kids associate balloons with these days? The movie UP, of course. So why not go with that?

How to make the UP CAKE!

The creation is simple. Take a square cake, cut into the shape of a house and then decorated with colored frosting and plenty of Sweetworks candies to create the look and feel of a house. Make a dozen, or more, small cupcakes. Cover them in blue frosting and top them off with a large colorful gum ball. Attach some kind of stringy candy to the balloons and house to give it the floating feeling and Ta-Da, you’re done. Simple and totally do-able!

Special shout-out: Katy Rose of ModlyChic had her mother, Shirley Hinderer, create this cake for me. She is truly the hands of God, and I cannot thank she and Katy enough for their kindness.

    The Up House Cake and Balloons are so adorable. I love all the colors and all the little candies on it. I believe the little strings are licorice strings. I love it! Thank You for Sharing!
