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.

This sounds like a great fun cookbook. I will be checking it out. My grandkids would also love some of the things I could make. Thank you so much
These are all so cute, and my son’s birthday is coming up, so this is great!
I love all of your creations! My favourite cake is the Abominable Snowman!!! He was one of the best characters in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie!!! Awesome!
That’s cute. I’m not much of a baker. I do good to frost a cupcake.
You’re very talented with cakes and cookie designs!!! I think it’s a great idea to get kids involved in baking…good learning for later in life!
If only I could bake!! I go into it with such cute ideas then it comes out looking like regret lol
Awesome,I love this idea.I always have the most fun coming up with creative ideas for my kids,from crafts,foods,and imaginative play.I can’t wait to try and make this myself with them as my little baking helpers,makes them feel so grown up to add the details.Thanks so much for sharing your Up cake recipe,hope mine turns out as well as yours.lol
What a super cute cake. We all love the movie up!
That is super cute!!
I like the pre-order contest.
I thought that it’s cool that it has so many different ideas and designs.
I love the illustration photos!
I like all the different themes that are available
This book looks so unique and awesome! I love cakes that look great that I can diy. The argyle print using candy is so cool.
I like that it gives step-by-step instructions how to make such amazing cakes for inept people like me. I like the Love and Peace cakes. (old hippies never die)
I really like how many different decorations for cakes that there are.
That it might be possible for me to make a cake that looks like that! I have no talent like that! Thanks for the giveaway!
