Amazing House Cake

The other day was my moms boyfriends birthday. My mom was going to bake him a cake but he ended up staying home because it rained. He builds houses for a living. So I told my mom I would bake one and bring it over as a surprise. I did not want to bake any old cake. So I built a house out if the cake and decorated it. It came out pretty awesome and he loved it. Have you ever baked a cake and went crazy with it? I'd say my inspiration was that show Ace of Cakes.

A cake house?? Is it like the one people like to bake when Christmas?? I used to bake but never tried to make house cake before..I like the ordinary cake with fresh cream as it is easy to bake and decorate plus it don't take much time to have it in our plate..(^^)(^^)

I can imagine that...But it is better if you could attach a picture of your cake for better vision. Anyway I salute your effort in making them as I am not as hardworking as you. Most of the time even if my family members birthdays I just use anything left in a kitchen and they still finished everything..(^^)Baking cake is fun!!

Hi cupcakes_n_starrs!! WOW!! That's one crazy creative idea!! What a wonderful surprise :) I haven't really experimented like that. Though I love baking cakes with my mother. My favourites are Chocolate Fudge and Mocha Rum :P However, my mother has really experimented a lot in bakery. I still remember, on my fifth birthday, my parents had baked cakes and cut them to spell my name, iced it with chocolate and decorated it with Cadbury Gems!! :)) That, really, is one unforgettable memory!

Chocolate rum cake sounds delicious! I have always wanted to work in a bakery. I am afraid I would get rather chunky though! Cause the only thing better than baking cakes is eating them! What are cadbury gems? I have heard of cadbury eggs. Those are yummy!

Hi cupcakes_n_starrs... I don't know how to explain to you what Cadbury Gems is. Maybe it's the same as your Cadbury eggs, maybe it's not. Ummm... Please log on to cadburyindia, the website of cadbury and search Gems. I'm sure you'll find it :P Have a good day!!

Working in a Hotel that gets lots of celebration business,from birthdays,weddings,christenings and anniversaries,I get to see a LOT of creative designs for the cakes that come in! Somebody's doing a good job somewhere creating little icing models of people posed into positions of jobs and hobbies for personalised cakes..The house cake for a Builder sounds brilliant..don't suppose you took photos of it?

Hi, cupcakes_n starrs. No. I have never baked a cake before. I think that you are very brilliant to be able to bake a cake that is designed just as a house is. I am sure that your mom's boyfriend was very impressed and he loved it. That was very sweet of you to surprise him like this on his Birthday!

I was so excited and in a hurry I did not take pictures! I am sad. He goes to bed super early and I was afraid he would be asleep if i didn't make it there!

Awesome cake - Pillow cake
House cakes! I am certain it is really amazing! I love to see cakes of various designs and sizes. I think those who could make cakes are really admirable. I've always been dreaming of having such kind of skill. This is the reason why, cakes has always been one of the center of my attention whenever I attend parties and weddings. One of the cakes I found really cute is this pillow cake. It is awesome!

I love to make cute "scratch" cakes, but just the easy ones. I do an apple tree and a butterfly cake. They look good and they taste good. But the most unusual cake I saw and made was a bathtub cake. It was so cute and I wanted to make it for my grandbaby. However, it was not a "scratch" cake, but rather a construction cake, using already baked pound cake and various candies and frostings to do the job. It did not taste good, but it looked so cute! It also cost a good bit of money to put together.
