I have a potential client interested in a groom's cake for an April 29th wedding. Her groom is into the Italian Ice business and would like a cake shaped or decorated in this theme.

Does anyone have any ideas? I didn't have any luck with internet searches. Pictures, websites and ideas are welcomed. Help me!

that sounds like a fun one!! Find out what the packaging looks like, and then do a replica of the italian ice cup they use in the most popular flavor, maybe with heaping "italian ice" on top. (you could use colored sugar or glitter to make it look icy)

I forgot to mention that he has a cart almost like an ice cream cart. The only idea I had is to make a sheet cake with handles on the end and italian ice cones coming out of the sheet cake as if it were the cart. What do you think?

Here are a couple of pictures I found. You might could use rock candy for the ice.

what if you baked a cake inside of a flower pot for the cup and then frost the top and use sanding sugar to simulate ice......then personalize the cup for the groom??????????? I don't know

How about baking 3 -4 square layers and cover the sides with this logo, etc. (printed edible frosting sheets). Look at the carts I found. You could attach an umbrella made of gumpaste, fondant, your favorite medium. Good Luck

Well If they dont mind cute italian ice cartoon like .. you could use one of these images .. they even have cute little bowties You could so make them very easily and add glitter and what not as everyone has suggestion to add a little GLITZ! See image below! AND GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for all the help and ideas.

You could use the wilton cupcake cake pan decorated like Italian ice and decorate the bottom 'paper' like the cups the ice comes in. You could make it a 3d cake by using two of them back-to-back then use lots of chunky sanding sugar to make it sparkle like crazy

The rock candy idea is so cute! That would be awesome for a snowcone cake in the summer for a kids birthday!

That's a great idea.

How would I get it to stand up after I put both cakes together?

How about dowel rodding the two together and then stacked on a round or sheet cake and dowel rod the cone to the bottom cake.

It's to bad you couldn't get like a cartoon of a groom and do a fbct of a guy in a tux pushing an italian ice cart with like cans tied with strings to the bottom of the cart..that would be too cute. Might I just say though that the other ideas are much better than mine..lol.

I love that idea also arianne...that would be so cute.

Agent--
You'd definitely need to dowel--I don't think the bottom is very wide on that cake, so it wouldn#t give you a very sturdy base. You could either just dowel it into the cakeboard or you could do what stephanie214 suggested.
