I have a few orders coming up! I have Texas Longhorns cake to make next week. It will be shaped like the UT Longhorn emblem and covered with orange butter cream. This one will be pretty easy, I hope!
I also have a birthday cake for a fan of True Blood to make. I could get really creative here. I don't want to do a gory vampire cake though. I've never watched True Blood. I can't find any fan cakes on the web. (Google fail!) Even though I've never read or seen any of the Twilight series I like how there is easy imagery to adapt into a cake. I've been trying to figure out some imagery for a True Blood cake. I may have to try to watch it so I can be truly inspired.
I do have an idea to do something with a Southern Gothic theme. I've been researching that genre tonight and still don't have any good ideas. When I think Southern Gothic I think of mossy trees and foggy bogs, not anything that I can translate into a pretty cake.
It will be fun to try something creative here.

I haven't seen True Blood either but we sell the books like crazy. There's a lot of Louisiana bayou theme related things in it and psychics and some pretty vampires lol. That's really great news that you're getting more cake orders. I can't wait to see the updated pictures and hopefully you'll get even more orders :D
ReplyDeleteA red velvet cake seems appropriate!
ReplyDeleteI thought about red velvet and cherries and lo and behold there are recipes out there for that combo.
ReplyDeleteI must say that after my research last night I do want to see this show. Vampires are obvious stand-ins for other minority groups and it seems to have a bit of a Southern Gothic-meets-rockabilly sensibility to it. What better setting than LA., the most backward state in America? I really love the "church sign" in the intro which reads "God Hates Fangs". That is just too clever.
