I wish they'd copied better mugs. They reran this episode just a few days ago.

The cake itself, is probably still one of the best tiki styled cakes I've seen, and I hate fondant cakes. It seems to be a lazy way to make any cake look good.

Then you have a sheetcake with REAL frosting in the back you cut up and serve. :) The problem with fondant is that it doesn't have any FAT! Fat+Sugar=Good to Eat. And, fat & sugar, along with salt & caffeine, make up the 4 basic food groups :D

There is one group that, unfortunately for me, would be a part of that pyramid - the nicotine group. There should probably be an alcohol group too. Okay, and maybe MJ too.

Don't know if it's a re-run (I never watch it) so sorry if it's already been on and this has already been done before :)

You're correct - I didn't see the name - just the type of program - didn't know there was more than one cake show! LOL
TS Tiki Shaker Grand Member (8 years) Menifee, CA Joined: Jun 28, 2008 Posts: 775	TS Tiki Shaker Posted posted on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 7:03 AM I watched part of the Cake Boss show or whatever it is. Pretty awful. Not nearly as good a show as Charm City Cakes. The tikis looked like carved pineapples. And as for fire breathing? That was a guy standing behind it, spitting flammable liquid thru the mouth of a large "tiki". Yes, spitting... all over the cake. Pretty gross. [ Edited by: tiki shaker 2009-07-28 15:05 ]

My wife thought I would love it, but all I could think of was that the tiki cake itself and all the little tikis flanking it were really bad. At least they were brown and not, like, Party City colours.

She said she used modeling chocolate with cornstarch to give it a wood like texture.
