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 section on what pre made cakes you can buy that work well. That way you can just concentrate on decorating.
What amazing prizes along with pre-ordering this book! I LOVE OXO products and so cool that it can be won!
I love that this has creations for every occasion. So much creativeness!
There are so many cute ideas to pick from and they all don’t include having to make from scratch or are super hard! Would be perfect to make with my daughter!
I love that there is a whole chapter dedicated to using Sara Lee pound cakes.
The easy to make delicious recipes..I am a bachelor who never bakes for himself
It look to have a very informative recipe section!
I like how detailed the book/recipes are!
I love all of the ideas and tips and tricks. I can be a beginner, but end up with a pro product in the end! Sounds great!
I would love to win this book for my daughter. She is the Best at baking and her family really appreciates the things she makes. I like this book because it would show her how to turn “every cake into a real show-stopper.” It would be great for her.
Looks awesome! I can definitely use these!
I like that it includes colorful illustrations of the cakes and that you can create the confections with everyday kitchen tools. Thanks.
