Cake Geek

Cake Geek’s favorite method for creating storybook cakes is very cleverly illustrated, in the picture on the right, by Fancy Top Cakes.

This genius technique simply involves making and filling four small round cakes, halving them down the middle, and laying them flat in the shape of an open book.

Then trim the outer page edges flat (as in the picture on the bottom left). It’s a terrific method that saves an awful lot of time on shaping!

Disney Cake

Disney cake was created by Cake Central. This cake was a brilliant idea for a little girl who couldn’t decide whether she wanted a Lion King birthday cake or a Nemo birthday cake. 

So the cake designer decided to make her a storybook cake featuring both stories, with one on each page!
