Yeska Cakes
443 Broadway, Lawrence, MA
I was so lucky to be invited to Yeska Cakes today to see some of the cakes being made today and what the bakery looks like. The first cake I helped with was an Octopus cake. This is actually the topper for a cupcake tower (Link to the Octopus cupcake tower: http://thecakeplanner.com/Album/pages/octopus%20sm2_jpg.htm) The topper was made from two cakes, one classic round and one dome shaped cake. The cakes were covered in fondant and stacked. Then legs, the face, and other decorations were added. This topper is probably about 10 inches high.
Here's the supply of fondant, in every color, stored in the fondant room. ...mmm Satin Ice.
The second cake I helped work on was a very large cake. The bottom tier here is close to 18 inches. Each tier was covered in fondat. The lilac beads are fondant rolled into small balls.
Here's the sketch for the lilac cake. Everyone at the bakery speaks spanish, which is why all the notes are in spanish.
¡crema de caramelo es delicioso!
A layer of (eggless) cream and a layer of caramel sauce make a fabulous ooey-gooey filling.

Here's a Sonic cake which was really huge, about 4 feet across. This cake was going out as I got to the bakery, so I didn't work on it. It was very impressive, but had a lot of inedible parts.
Whoa, a Sonic the Hedgehog cake? Awesome! Also, the octopus cake (and the tower with all the sea life) is the cutest thing I've ever seen. =] What a fun day!!
