My friend turned 42 so he had a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy party. I made three small strawberry cakes for him that went with the theme. These are two of them. The other is a Marvin the Robot cake. Both of these are strawberry cakes with creme cheese icing. The Guide is covered in chocolate fondant. All decorations are in MMF. * For the uninformed, 42 is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything. Marvin is a depressed robot. White mice made the earth as an experiment trying to find the question that goes with the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is just that. Like any travel guide, it tells you about places. It reads, "Don't Panic!" because the earth is about to be blown up so that an intergalactic highway can go through.
This is a strawberry cake baked in bowls and covered in MMF.
This is an Italian Creme Cake with coconut cream cheese frosting made from the recipe out of the Luby's Cookbook. The flowers, handles, spout and top are made from Wilton's white fondant. I used the food color markers to put detail on the fondant and I mixed some ready-made chocolate icing into the cream cheese frosting to make it look like there is tea in the cups.
I used a cast iron Texas cake pan on top of two layers of sheet cake. I used an ice cube tray where the cubes were shaped like stars and Texas to make the 3d stars and Texas. For the Texas, I put blue colored sugar in the trays first. Should have done this for all because one of the stars would not come out and I broke the tray. Using a pastry bag, I squeezed layers of white and milk chocolate in layers into the tray. I used Wilton's chocolate and primary colors fondant cut with cookie cutters. The boot in front is the result of putting the cookie cutter in on a cookie sheet and pouring cake batter into it then baking with the rest of the cake. Then I put a layer of chocolate fondant on the baked cake boot which was cut with the same cookie cutter.
This is a layered cake of chocolate and white cake with white chocolate and milk chocolate cream cheese icing, as well as regular chocolate icing. Decorations are made from Wilton's chocolate fondant and white fondant made from recipe on this website. Silver Luster Dust was brushed on some items.
Cake is white chocolate raspberry with white chocolate cream cheese icing. Filling is made with fresh raspberries, lemon juice and agave nectar. Used the recipe off this website for marshmallow fondant. Gathered various things off of different cake pics that I liked along with the fondant fairy instructions.
