Grooms Cake
As I mentioned in a previous post my brother Adam recently got married. My fiancée Donea makes cakes
and I thought it would be fun to make him a grooms cake. Adam is a music producer and one of his tracks
is "I be where da cake be" I thought it would be a good idea to somehow use this in the theme.
Then Donea went about designing a cake incorporating several of his musical ventures.
The Fire Department& Dubkiller.

It was a 2 tier chocolate cake.
Each tier had 3 layers with caramel buttercream & chocolate ganache frosting in between.

I played the part of the lovely assistant. I'm making ganache here.

Here Donea is rolling out the fondant. The fondant was the only part not made from scratch.
She used "The MAT!" method. I included their video at the bottom if you want to see how that works.

The cake was frosted with a layer of buttercream before putting the fondant on.

We then cut little cubes of red and gray fondant and affixed those and the letters to the cake.
Here is the almost finished cake.

Gumpaste Chinese stars for the final touch. (Added once the cake was at it's destination.)

DUBKILLER
My brother has an EP that was released today on iTunes& Beatport. If you follow this blog it's obviously because you like my comic stuff but I make my living as a DJ. So I listen to a lot of music. As unbiased as I can be I think these tracks are amazing. But check them out for yourself & see what you think.
I also did his website along with the artwork. Check it out at Dubkiller.com

The Wormworld Saga
Daniel Lieske just debuted the first chapter of The Wormworld Saga. It's a nice chunk to read. His use of color, lighting in particular is amazing. Here's his blog too.

Star Wars Basketball
I came across this 1970's comic ad on CBR. That first panel I thought it was supposed to be Han Solo & Lando Calrissian. Too bad it's not. I like to think the Sabacc game Lando lost the Millennium Falcon to Han was actually basketball.

Hogs & Geeses
I did this card for my Valentine. I'm not sure exactly how it started but I was affecting a thick accent of unknown origin and saying hugs but it sounded like hogs. Which led to kisses being geeses. (Yes I know the plural is geese but that didn't sound as funny.) So hogs & geeses = hugs & kisses.
The inside said "Sending you lots of hogs & geeses. Yes, it's silly.
