Welcome!

Hello Everyone!

Thank You for visiting my Blog: A little Imagination. I created this blog to showcase some of the decorated cakes I have made in the past and to pass along some ideas for cakes that I can make in the future.

All of my cakes are handmade in Middletown, CT and decorated using Fondant and Gumpaste (for the most part) as well as Buttercream and other soft icings.

The Idea behind my cakes is this: If you can think of it, I can make it into a cake. I love bouncing ideas around so we can come up with the perfect cake for your event.

Feel Free to email me with comments, questions or ideas at hanzandblix at gmail dot com, other contact info is available in the "About Me" section to your right.

Have fun looking around and remember, all it takes is a little imagination!

Ton of Toys

Time to play some catch-up.

I was going through some of my photos and realized that I had such a hectic holiday season I didn't have a chance to post some great cakes. So, over the next couple days I will be posting a bunch of cakes that I neglected to mention. First up - The Ton of Toys cake.

The Ton of Toys event was sponsored by HYPE (Hartford Young Professionals & Entrepreneurs) and with the along with the Hartford Jaycees raised money and collected toys for the area's charitable organizations. I donated this cake for the event, made to feed about 200 people.


Each of the presents was made from devils food cake with chocolate ganache and covered with Marshmallow fondant that was then airbrushed and decorated.


Each of the toys was created out of solid fondant and was created the week before the event so they would have a chance to dry and harden for transport.

For a sense of scale, the cakeboard was just under 3 feet square, and the Teddy bear was jsut over 6" tall!
