Interfaith Baking, Issue 2

Wenyee sends us this beautiful penguin cake. Digging the texture of the frosting and the snow effect.



Made by Ivana and her daughter Sophia. This cake is beautiful, creative, and more difficult than it looks. It's not easy to lay a pattern that convincingly.

"Hi John,
Here is a holiday cake that my daughter Sofia (8) and I made together yesterday.
She helped mix and bake it, fill it and spread the frosting, but I had to do
most of the white snowflakes. Hope you like it. We sure had fun making it.
Thanks for creating this contest. It sure makes the holidays brighter!"



Valerie, you rock. You created a Rolex reference 16520 Daytona with color-change dial. Though this may not inspire holiday cheer among all readers, it makes me feel cozy all over. Let us not forget that material goods make people happy, and nothing makes someone happier than walking into things on Christmas morning because you can't stop staring at your new timepiece. Or your new cake. This may be the worst counterfeit watch I've ever seen, but as cake goes, it's the genuine article.








Emily sends in a beautiful array of Christmas cupcakes. This is a winner in two ways; not only is each cupcake beautiful in its own right, together they form the ultimate bouquet of holiday cheer. The Voltron of cupcakes. Well done.



By far, the most common cake I've been seeing is the guitar cake. I wish I could post them all, because they all look like they took serious time and creativity. I'm posting this one because it may be the best of the bunch.



Note the yellow cake pickups.



Pretty amazing stuff. Again, to all cake-makers, your submissions are breathtaking. Lots of people have seen these cakes and their response is always the same. "You've got some FANS!!" Yes,...yes I do.

More to come very soon, along with a new cake by yours truly...

Keep that holiday spirit meter high!!!

John
