The Infamous Dexter Cake

I hope I don't get flamed for saying this, but I have not seen the TV show Dexter.  I know about it and I'm definately interested in it, but I have yet to watch a full episode.  I find the Dexter cake trend to be one of my favorites!  It can be done by most people and they can be some pretty amazing & slightly shocking cakes, hehe.

This is one I made for my lovely cousin:

I did a basic round, simply decorated cake, then stabbed it with a knife then dripped red gel frosting from the cut and splattered some of it across the cake to simulate bleeding from a brutal stabbing. 

Another tip I have is about the cake flavor.  I think red velvet is perfect, because it is delicious and the deep red adds to the theactrics of the cake as a whole. 

I hope this helps you on your Dexter cake adventures! >:)

Getting Creative

One thing I learned while making and designing cakes it that not every character, animal or thing has a pan. I've had to learn to improvise and use what I have to create something else. Here are a few of my favorites...

Using the Wilton Spaceship pan I've created a few different cakes;

Combining it with half of a small oval cake I created Toothless aka Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon:

The pan was also perfect when I created an overhead shot of an X-Wing from Star Wars:

Another one of my favorites was another Star Wars cake. I use the Darth Vader pan:

I ended up making one of Darth's Imperial Guards:

I love going through pictures of my cake pan collection and just imagining which characters, animals, or other things I can create. I've learned that my pans can have so much more value when I think outside the box. I will probably post another blog entry on this same subject, because I've done this are even more occasions and I plan on doing it much more. If you're in need of help trying to figure out how you can make a cake you don't have an pan for, let me know and I may be able to help!

Hello there!

Hi, I just wanted to have a first post that just explained this blog. I've had a site at facebook for my cake designs for a while now and I felt that it wasn't as easy to share photos, tricks and tips well. I feel that this blog will better showcase the stuff I've done and will do and hopefully I can create an army of cake decorators that can overload this world with cuteness! Thank you so much for visiting and please enjoy and I welcome any comments & questions you may have! (((HUGS)))
