Guest Post: The Cakerator from North Carolina

Today's post is part of our bi-weekly Guest Post: 5 Pics Series.  We feature multi-talented cake designers from all over the world that I have met online and admired.

This week's guest post comes from The Cakerator in Raleigh, North Carolina.   The owners and talented cake artists, Luis & Maria, specialize in sculpted celebration cakes and elegantly designed wedding cakes.  Their cake styles are very versatile with every design element being edible.  I also really love how The Cakerator takes their own time to post many free Step-by-Step tutorials and "Ask the Cakerator" for other cake artists or hobbyists.

1st Birthday Cake: Baby Sesame Street Cake

A very popular design for 1st birthday cakes is the elevated tier design.  This version is made with the baby sesame street characters handmade out of sugarpaste.

 

You don't see these characters a lot unless you are a parent and have changed one-too-many diapers that have these characters on it :-)

Have a great week!  See you next Tuesday.
