This was a coffee layer cake designed in the image of my parents house.
I’ve been really bad at updating, life has been busy and honestly I haven’t been too good at keeping up with the cakes either. I’ve been getting back into it though so I’ll start updating from the beginning.
This cake was made for Father’s day and I found the recipe here. I was looking specifically for a cake involving coffee (as my dad enjoys coffee) but also that would be good for layering as I wanted to build my parents house.
The building turned out alright but I didn’t have time to go into tremendous detail. I wanted to make a driveway and a lawn but that got cut in the end. The address and the window borders didn’t work exactly as planned either because the pen that I was writing with (an edible marker) didn’t write on fondant as well as I had hoped it would. The garage isn’t well defined nor are the basement windows but it was close enough that everyone there knew it when they saw it.
The model as seen by google street view.
For a comparison, this picture is how google street view captured their house.
I didn’t care too much for the cake itself but everyone else said that they enjoyed it so it couldn’t be that bad.
