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.
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!
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.

I like the nice tools that you decorate the cake with
I love the quality of the pictures!
Turn a round cake into Swiss cheese and Brie, and it’s April Fool’s!
Thanks for the contest.
Such great creativity, this reminds me of one of my favorite films, UP, all the way! It’s amazing what you can do with a basic sheet cake, some frosting, and candy!
I like the step by step instructions. I also like how easy it looks to decorate with candy.
I love the oxo grip tools they have to help you in decorating your cake
I’m interested in my sister learning a lot of new designs using the sixlets for cakes she makes for friends parties, etc.
It looks like fun- I want to see all the pictures.
I am excited by the idea that even people like me with no baking talent can be helped with this book!
I need it lol
This cookbook looks like great fun for the family!
I like that it says that it even a kitchen klutz can decorate and transform cakes into masterpieces!
I like that I don’t have to be a professional when trying their designs
I will like the whole chapter on using Sara Lee Pound Cake.
I think that it’s interesting that the recipes and instructions only require every day bowls, pans and measuring cups according to the description. I think that’s great.
The cake creations are simply stunning and I must have this book so I can recreate them!
I am most interested in the easy and fun cakes you can make. I have a tought time coming up with a good idea for a cake that i know will come out right.
I like the unique cakes that have easy to follow directions. Anyone woudl be thrilled to get one of these cakes.
This book features lots of fun and cute projects my grandkids would love.
I am most interested in getting new ideas for cakes.
How cool!
