Hi People, I don't visit this forum so much as I would like to, but I use any minute I have to get inspired and advice. Now I need you help again. I'm asked to make a cake for a High Tea. The theme is S e x & the city. I was thinking something sexy but not too explicit. Like a base cake (round or square and maybe a shoe and some lingerie on top. I'm thinking of making the brasier with royal icing on balloons . have anyone tried this before? Have anyone worked with royal icing on a balloon and how do I do it? I don't have much time for it to set so I must give this a some quick thinking.

If you have any better or other ideas, please share.

Put on a cosmo and a set of mannolo blahniks you should be all set

Cosmo and mannolo blahniks? What is that? I feel very stupid now. Only Cosmo I know is the magazine

Yeah and don't forget the episode where they ate cupcakes from Magnolias

I missed that one. I can even cover the cake with a "satin sheet", draped fondant. I really quite excited about this cake. something new.

A Cosmopolitan is a drink and Cosmo Mannolo Blahniks are very expensive shoes.

That should be a Cosmopolitan is a drink and Mannolo Blahniks are very expensive shoes.

Of cause, thanks. I can already picture the cake. The client is also looking for ideas. so i'll see what she has in mind and give her my ideas too.

Hope you post a picture of the cake so we can see how it turned out. I'm sure it will look great!

I will definitely.

I would do a designer purse, Mannolo Blahniks, and the coctail in a 3d grouping.

If you need more servings, put it on a lepord print cake.

I LOVE sex and the city. Too bad you can't carve Mr. Big.....

2508s42, I totally agree with you. I am a big fan of Sex & the City!

Don't know if I can carve Mr Big, but I sure can carve what he is named after

I like your ideas. I'm gonna give them all to the client. Would I be able to do leopard print in shimmer (satin), I bet with a lot of efford I would be able. If I use black and gold luster dust.

How about a leopard print pillow cake as the base with the 3D goodies on top???

as a die hard fan of the show before i even got to the post i was dreaming manolos, cosmo and a LV purse!!! i'm picturing a topsy with a manolo shoe box, LV bag and cosmo glass topper with a monalo heel strewn to the side and string of pearls dangling from the side of the cosmo, what do you think girls??? oh i want to make it now dam it no time!!!

oh you like my idea! yes i am loving it too but as i am flat chat at the moment i shall knock you up a quick sketch!!

thanks man. I just hear, my one cake scheduled for saturday is now for tomorrow. So hectic times here. You can mail the scetch please.

so here is a quick mock up using computer web images:

Ooh! Cute cake idea adatay! Here's one I did -

OMG I am LOVING THIS!!! I am totally making this idea for my best friend's birthday. She would DIE

cakes by allisson TOTALLY what i was picturing but a bit more messy as we all know carey is a bit of a slob!! lol! and i just love the notion of a cosmo perched on top almost falling over and after the movie seeing her in her pearls in bed!! had to tie that one in!!! wish i had an excuse to try it out!! think i will come up with one when i have a spare minute!!

You girls are wonderfull. I haven't seen the movie yet, will have to make a plan. In SA everything is slower but I missed it on the big screen. Will have to get the DVD. I will then picture some close hanging out the suitcase too???

sounds great!

oohhhhh i would love to see the finished cake. i love SATC!

Adatay, must the pearls be edible because I don't think I will get the hanging effect?

on my webpage I have a cosmo glass in butercream with a manolo in choc. fondant and choc clay mixed together.

Wendy

not necessarily you could use stung fake pearls (obviously explaining tha they are not eddible,) i sometimes use plastic strung pearls insteadof ribbon for edging on my cakes but you could also litterally string your fondant pearls if you wanted to make them edible, using wire or string. i think this would look better than the fake ones IMO but it is probably a time factor more than anything

I bought a fake string and don't have a mould yet. so fake it would be. Seeing that the glass will be fake as well. The client have not yet decided on a design. Sh must hurry up though.

Here is a link to a sex and the city cake. I can't save the pic to post on here. Its really neat its a round pink cake with black NYC skyline around the sides and a silhouette cut of of the girls on top
