Art Deco for the Christman Company



Although this cake was made in February 2008 (wow, I cannot believe it was that long ago!) it is still one of our most memorable cakes.  This cake was ordered by the Christman Company in Lansing.  It was made for the grand opening of their new headquarters in downtown Lansing.  It is a beautiful building!  We were so honored to be a part of their celebration!

We knew this cake was going to be fun, so we took the time to take several photos of the process, since it's always a bit of an adventure!  I have been looking forward to sharing them with you!  I hope that you enjoy!

Phase One: Stacking the Cake


This is our blank canvas.

Phase Two:  Decorate!

Piece by piece...actually now that I think of it, that's the name of a song from a CD that we listened to on repeat while we made the cake!


Attaching the strips of fondant with water using a paintbrush.


Carefully attaching each glitter dot with piping gel.  A bit tedious, but I was still having a ball!


It's coming together...


Final touches Tuesday morning.  You know it's a Tuesday because you can see the GF bread baking in the oven!


Ta da!  It's finished!
