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 candy decorations that you can put on your cakes
I like that there is a whole chapter on using store bought pound cake so I don’t have to worry about baking skills and can just decorate.
There are such wonderful cakes that are so creative. I love the candy and cookie crown cake.
I like the details on the cakes
OH, I have the book Hello Cupcake. I love it, so I’m sure that this book will be just as good!
I really like the idea of decorating with Pearls and Sixlettes. There are so many colors to choose from — I love the ideas presented.
I like how it shows how to decorate with candies. To me, when you decorate with candies it just makes it pop and look more delicious.
I love the sculpture cakes the best I love the cherry pie cake and the tabby cat cake I wish I was able to make these cute cakes.
My kiddos would flip over that monster cake! I love all the cakes decorated with candies – heck, I could do that!
I like that the instructions are so clear and easy to follow. THat is so helpful when I’m trying something new.
This is awesome! I love pictures. It is crazy how my cakes never look like the pictures. I may need to keep trying.
I love all the awesome pictures of how to decorate these amazing cakes! I also love that they it gives advice about how to make a regular cake, fabulous with candy decorations!
I love that it shows you how to make amazing cakes using the tools that you already have in your kitchen.
First of all I love that the book is available in digital and paperback formats. I’ve never been really good at baking cakes because I wasn’t always sure how to do certain things so I love the “10 step program to a better cake” section that explains and shows pictures of the basics. It’s also great that they include a section of “where to find” products and companies. The variety is amazing, there is a cake for every occasion and for every level of baker. I can’t wait for it to be available! 🙂
I love the fact that you can use everyday Items to make these Cakes!
Thanks!
I love that you do not have to have all kinds of expensive tools. everything they use you usually have at home.
I love all the creative ideas.
I really like the decorating with candies.
The best feature of this book is the wonderful photography of all the cakes!!
I like that they use PEARLS and SIXLETS to decorate.
