Lichtenstein Cake

Cake: 3 layers moist chocolate cake

Filling: 2 layers blueberry filling
Frosting: 1 layer mocha icing under fondant



I made this cake for the first First Friday art meeting. Didn't turn out exactly as I planned, but I think it was a good start to my art cake series and people liked the idea of tasting art (and liked eating the cake too!) Here's a series of photos taken during the process of making the cake.

Cake Series Idea

This past week I got the idea to do a series of cakes based on some of my favorite works of art. I thought it would be fun to not only base their design on the works, but their flavor too. Here are a few first designs from my sketch book. I think I'm going to tackle the Lichtenstein this week and bring it to the first Pacifica Arts Meeting that Amy. Q. from church has organized, taking place this Friday. What will be nice about creating it for that is that I'll be able to get some feedback from the other artists and also can feed them the cake after so I don't eat it ALL!
