So I didn't have any cakes this weekend that I HAD to make, so I decided why not make one for a friend who manages a pizza shop. Well, let me tell you, after seeing Buddy use a blow torch to melt his "cheese" (fondant) on a pizza cake, I thought I'd give it a try.

IT'S A BLAST!!!

Now I want you to know that I don't consider myself a pyro, but boy, it sure relieves stress when you take a blow torch to your cake! Don't just take my word for it, give it a try sometime!

BTW - I use MMF, so it kinda tasted like toasted marshmallows - with a lot of extra sugar

Do you have photos?

I'm trying to picture this in my mind and all I can envision is your avatar photo wearing a welding helmet going nuts blowtorching the heck out of a lovely 3 tier wedding cake.

LOL...I have a few cakes I would have liked to take a blow torch too...

That sounds like so much fun !!!

Yummmmmm, toasted marshmallows. I hope there was chocolate under that - then it would be like a 'smore.

sounds yummy, and I bet it looked awesome!

I just watched the Paranormal Cakes Challenge on Food Network from last night. One of the decorators used a blowtorch to make a cracked leather texture for a jacket. I was wondering how on earth it ever occurred to her to do that-- although I, too, have had cakes which would have been improved by the liberal application of a flame!
