Party Dress Cake
Posted to All Pastries, Celebration Cakes, Novelty Cakes, Sculpted Cakes on Saturday, May 17th, 2008.This past Thursday we competed in a cake contest sponsored by the Somerset Art Association. The “Let Them Eat Cake” contest’s theme was the celebration of spring. We created the “Bloom of the Ball” which was a nature inspired party dress adorned with sugar roses, vines, and leaves hanging on a dress form.
The cake was a sour cream orange zest cake filled with pistachio and white chocolate buttercream. It was a really great experience creating this 46″ tall cake, although its transportation to Bedminister Fiddler Elbow’s country club was a little daunting…not to mention our air brush machine overheated and blew out every fuse in our store the night before! This forced us to hand paint the cake…but it all worked out in the end.
We were so excited to win the “Show Stopper” award. I couldn’t have done it without my staff. Thanks for all of your hard work…and keeping me sane through this past reaaaallly long week!

Beautiful. definitely a show stopper!
Oh. My. Goodness. Anne, you’ve outdone yourself here! How did you even DO that??
Really, that is one of the most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen. Bravo!!
Oh my God Anne!! This cake is absolutely amazing!!
Apart from being absolutely breath-taking, how did you manage to keep the cake vertical?? It is really a wonder!
Oh, by the way, I just wanted to tell you that your cakes (all of them) are really inspirational to me…when it comes to make cakes for family and friends, your ideas are always the first that I look to for inspiration… thank you so much for putting them in you blog!

(I’d like very very much to have a cake done by you, but…alas…I live in Italy, and it would be a bit impossibile to ship the cake without problems!
Hugs and many compliments!

Dear Anne,
Your cake is amazing I cannot believe my eyes… it sooo beautiful !!!! And even tough sour cream orange zest cake filled with pistachio and white chocolate sounds delicious I will not eat it, I would keep it as long as I could.
I am a very big fan of your cakes, thank you for sharing them.
Beautiful! This cake defies gravity! That is some engineering job!
I couldn’t wait to see if you put this on your site. My 13 year old son came home the other day and was telling me how he saw this when he was riding into town.
I’ve been a silent reader and admirer but I’ve just gotta speak up this time. How did you do it? It’s not a piece of cake. (pun intended). Absolutely amazing.

I stumbled upon your page this morning and canNOT believe this! I would never even attempt to do something like this, but would LOVE if you typed a mini- tutorial – - – only because I have NO CLUE how this was done! Is the dress form cake also? HOW MANY hours (yours and staff) did this take? I’m going to bookmark your site and will be back many times. What an awesome cake!! Carolyn
Hi Anne
This is an amazing cake! And I say that as someone who has grown up around cakes. My mom shares your passion for designing and baking, and has likewise grown a business very similar to Pink Cake Box in Cebu, Philippines: Chedz Designer Cakes. She has been doing this since before I was born and now she has passed it down to my younger sister. Me and my bro recently made a website for her, inspired no less than by Pink Cake Box
