"I can figure it out."

Marshal has always been interested in cooking and baking. When he saw the tv shows "Ace of Cakes" and "The Cake Boss" his comment was, "I can figure it out." That is what started The Cake Marshal. He has been doing cakes for birthdays, weddings and other special occasions since 2006. He loves it when clients start by saying that they are not sure if it would be possible to do their idea in cake. He enjoys the challenge that each new cake provides. No matter what challenge or seemingly impossible task surfaces while working on a cake, he sticks with his origional statement. "I can figure it out."

Brave

Our birthday girl was excited about her Brave inspired cake. This cake came with the witch's cottage and the wisps in the forest. The wisps were battery powered lights and actually turned on.

Tutu

This was for a Ballerina Birthday Party. The birthday girl loves pink so it had to be pale pink. The skirt was made of cotton candy layered over the cake. It was a big hit with the kids.

Twilight


The recipient of this cake was obviously a Twilight fan. The cake was wrapped with fondant and the picture was hand painted onto it using icing.

RIP in Ice Cream


This cake was for a birthday boy who doesn't like cake. This "cake" was made almost entirely out of Rocky Road ice cream. There was around an inch of cake for a base and then rest was ice cream. It was frosted in Vanilla ice cream that we colored gray. The grass and the lettering were in butter cream icing.

Thomas the Train






This was for a birthday boy who loves Thomas the Train. It was a special request that it was a 3D train.The whole train is cake and the smokestacks were sculpted from tootsie rolls.

Cupcakes

The Cake Marshal can do cupcakes too.  We had a ton of fun figuring out the flavors and decorations for the following cupcakes. These were made for a birthday celebration.





These Ice Cream Sundae cupcakes were chocolate,chocolate chip cupcakes with a scoop of icing as the "ice cream. They were topped with a waffle cone, cherry, chocolate sauce and chopped nuts.




These Raspberry Lemonade cupcakes had raspberry cake, with lemon cream cheese frosting. They were garnished with ripe raspberries and lemon peel curls.



These Pina Colada cupcakes had yellow cake with pineapple and coconut mixed in. They were then topped with marshmallow icing and roasted coconut.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar





This cake was for a  first birthday party. This was quite a challenge to figure a way to get a smash cake as well as enough cake for the rest of the party. I decided to do more that the main character of the story. The Caterpillar was the smash cake for the one year old. What the caterpillar ate through was the cake for the rest of the party. The lollipop and ice cream cone were not cake, they were the real thing. I decided to copy the art from the book as closely as possible, which is why the icing is not completely smooth on the cakes.

Cinderella


This was for a princess birthday party. This Cinderella came from a shaped cake pan. Her skin is fondant and her dress is hand piped. The name on the banner was the name of the birthday girl.

Monster Truck





This monster truck was for a third birthday party. The birthday boy loves trucks. So I made it climbing up a mountain side complete with cake rocks and graham cracker dirt.

Lemon with Pink Roses




The theme of this party was a "Bug Hunt" in the back yard.  The top picture was the lemon cream that was decorated for the adults who attended the party. This was the cake that the candles were put on. The second picture was the mini cupcakes that were made for the children at the party. They were each topped with a hand-piped chocolate "bug".

Mexican Train




This was a birthday cake. The recipient of this cake loves the domino game Mexican Train. So I modeled it after that. The central hub was cake and the dominoes were sugar cookies.

Monkey Business




This pink monkey was modeled after a favorite toy. Our birthday girl would drag this plush monkey everywhere. So we made her favorite toy into her smash cake for her first birthday.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear


These twin teddy bears were for a first birthday party. It worked well for this party because the birthday boy got the little one, and the guests were served from the larger one.
