Must Eat Cake is moving to Austin!

After many fun years in Brooklyn, we are packing the family up and heading back to Austin, Texas. Please contact me at musteatcake@gmail.com for more information.

Thanks to everyone in Brooklyn who helped me get started with my new business! I’ll miss you!

Jungle themed 1st birthday cake

jungle themed 1st birthday cake, originally uploaded by tashistation.

A fun first birthday cake with a jungle theme. The cake topper is made of chocolate fondant mixed with gum paste to help it hold up in the humidity. Luckily Saturday wasn’t a particularly hot and humid day, but lately you never know!

The animal and plant silhouettes on the bottom tier were inspired by Alexander Henry’s zoo fabric. A classic!

Yellow cake layers with chocolate frosting, chocolate fondant (bottom tier) and vanilla fondant (top tier).

This would also make a very cute baby shower cake.
