The Land of Ozz

Have you ever watched one of those Food TV shows where they have a competition on how to make the coolest birthday cake? This past Saturday night I got to visit the kitchen of a professional custom cake artist. I say artist because this stuff goes way beyond baking. There were air brushes, computer printers that use food color as ink, sculpting tools, ovens, and much more in this shop.

Below is a picture of the little surprise that was sent home with me this weekend from my trip to the Dallas area. Everything you see except for the white rectangle board is part of the cake and it is all eatable. You can click on the picture to see a larger image.

This cake is a very small example of what the folks at Dimensions In Cake can do. My wife’s Aunt Karen owns the business. Her business serves Weatherford, Dallas, and Fort Worth, TX as well as the surrounding areas. She specializes in 3-D Sculptured Birthday and Wedding Cakes. You will find contact information at the bottom of every page of the Dimensions In Cake web site. By the way, the web site was designed by my wife Sherry’s cousin.

Oh yeah, the cake tastes great!!! We also brought home an assortment of cupcakes including some really yummy ones with peanut butter icing. Not all of those completed the plane ride back to Charleston, SC. If you want a super special cake in the Dallas and Fort Worth area then I suggest you call well in advance since Karen stays very busy.
