A Sweet Life Cakery

Part of the reason I love doing cakes is that it brings joy to someone else.  Who ever heard of someone being sad at receiving a cool cake.  While this blog is a little delayed, I didn't want to fail posting it.

In March I had the pleasure of creating a cake for a special person, Brent.  His mother had been here for him for such a long time as he underwent personal trials in his life.  Brent had been undergoing such a severe form of cancer that it was literally consuming parts of his face.  True it is a sad thing but his mom was more concerned with making Brent's wish come true.  Brent had always dreamed of having a certain car and had not gotten around to getting one.  With the situation being as it was, it didn't seem likely as Brent's cancer was terminal. 

This year Brent celebrated a birthday with his mother.  While every parent relishes the day their child was born, this was an especially important day as it may very well be Brent's last.  Brent really isn't a very old person, at least by my standards.  Either way, his mom was determined one way or another Brent was going to get his wish, to have the car he wanted.  He couldn't drive it but it was a sweet gift in the form of the car he wanted, an Opal GT. 

Creating specialty cakes such as sculpted cars or objects isn't easy as it takes an eye for detail and there really is no science to it.  You just have to see the lines basically.  The photos below are a progression of Brent's dream car.

I hope that Brent's days are all filled with joy.  It was truly my pleasure and honor to make his day even more special!!

Brent picked the color of his car.

Below is a photo of the real car.  Again not a science, but the cake I created was my artist perspective.

Thanks again Brent for allowing me to be part of your special day.

Thanks also to the owner of the vehicle in the photo above.
