My Favorite Creative Cakes by Cakes

There isn't anybody who reads my blog that doesn't know that my husband, who I fondly call Cakes, is a baker and cake designer in Lagos. From simple buttercream cakes to very creative cakes, commonly called character cakes. I know there's a time and place for everything, but I always wish his clients and customers would push the creative envelope. His team is very capable of making those kinds of cakes and I wish they had more orders for character cakes - but that's just me.

Today I'd like to share my favorite character cakes that have come from his bakery. I hope you like them as well.

You'd be surprised how many trunk box cakes are ordered. A WHOLE LOT!

Soooooooo many people loved this baby shower cake!

I think this red bustier and lace bridal shower cake is very pretty.

The owner of this cake and I designed this cake.

I clearly remember walking into the bakery on this particular day and wondering why they left a wooden spoon on the cake... not knowing it was made of fondant!

This one definitely had to make the list as I helped design it while Cakes was away for the weekend :)

I loved the very American baby shower cake too. It was very clean. I like clean, sharp cakes.

I'm not into football but the colors on this cake make me smile.

Does anyone miss his teeny weeny afro by the way?

 I think I like this cake because it was a trunk box AND a suitcase cake.

Ah ha! This one was from last week. Don't the eggs look so real?!?!?!

When he first told me about this cake below - that his bride wanted feathers, I won't lie, I was anxious and wondered whether Cakes them could do it well. Judge for yourself.

I think this Minions cake is so cute. I don't like minions sha. They're annoying.

Oooh, I loved how high and blingy this cake was.

Who knows anyone at the DSTV Nigeria Head office? Their next cake should DEFINITELY come from Cakes!

This circus-themed cake for my friend's son was very very nice!

But THIS was the masterpiece! To date, it's my favorite cake he's ever made. I wish you could see how large it was. My friend refused to cut the cake for a couple of days.
