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 pinwheel cake with the different colors on it from the candy and I love the blue fish from your fellow blogger
I love the work boot cake! Be great for my fiance’!
I love that the recipes are kid-friendly!
I love the cute ideas, such as using donuts to look like bagels in the toaster cake.
I love the cute ideas.
i love all the different cakes to pick from!
Love that you can use premade pound cake to make some of these cakes
So many fun designs! I’m not sure I’d be up for anything quite this fancy but these are great inspirations, for sure!
I love the high quality photos showing the beautiful cakes I have always wanted to make cakes like those. The details are amazing.
I love how they don’t just decorate a cake with candy,it becomes part of the cake,like a work of art,so pretty!
I love the creativity in all of the dessert creations. It’s not your typical stuff that you see all over the Internet. I especially love the “Into the Woods” cupcakes!!!
I like all the ways to use the sixlets
I like the creative design ideas.
I love the variety you have to choose from and the funny cakes.
I like all of the creative ideas, Use woodgrain to make a guitar cake.
I like that if you preorder the book you have a chance to win an amazing prize pack. I’ve never seen another author do a contest like that before.
I love how easy they make it sound to make a cake. It says anything that can be done with a cupcake can be done with a cake. I didn’t think that was possible. They even use store bought cakes to make cute and unusual cakes. It sounds fascinating.
I like the creative use of pearls and sixlets.
The Work boot cake looks fantastic. Sometimes guys just aren’t into the delicacy of most cake decorating.
I love all the ideas and such a variety to choose from
