Anyway, I got a phone call from a customer who I had been expecting to order a Super Mario cake. However, like most 4 year olds her son had changed his mind. He wanted Power Rangers. I have to admit I was somewhat intrigued as to how this cake was going to turn out. (I even thought of creating Power Ranger Optimus Prime) But, as I got online to do my normal research on characters I was shocked. Did anyone else know that there have been like 5 generations of these guys. While I couldn't tell you what some of them are I can tell you that they are currently known as Power Rangers Samurai... seriously? Each one has their own new unique weapons to their character and their outfits bare a slight resemblance to the ensemble of a ninja (that was kinda cool)
So how do I turn this into a cake? My first idea was to just have the helmets on their. This could be cool ... but then my mother so lovingly pointed out that she couldn't tell they were the Power Rangers. It honestly didn't help matters that the helmets had become strange. They used to just be black where the eyes went. Now each color has their own unique design. So then I decided to do just the blue ranger in the middle (the young boy's favorite) surrounded by his fellow Ranger's helmets. Turned out okay. As always the cake ends up looking a little different then what I expected but I guess it worked. It was my first time attempting a coconut cake and while I despise coconut my mother said it was delicious!
So here's to the first of many. A way to share my stories in Cake Heaven or Hell.. which ever one seems to occur those certain evenings when I find myself elbow deep in buttercream. Well, tonight it's neither way so I guess I'm in Cake Limbo... or maybe Earth. Who knows....
