Last weekend I got to make a birthday party for a sweet boy’s 8th birthday! His request? A brownie robot cake. Favorite colors? Blue and orange…
Since cake is easier to work with than brownie I made the body and head out of cake. The legs and arms are made out of chocolate brownie.
The best part of the cake (in my opinion) is the silver and gold airbrushing… It takes the cake from just cute to awesome!

Thanks so much! I love making cakes, it’s so fun to come up with a new design in a different way. Glad I don’t have to repeat designs!

Do you do this for a living? This is absolutely fabulous! I have never thought about airbrushing a cake before either. I obviously have a lot to learn in this department. Lou

kind of… I’m a mom, that’s what I do for a job. BUT I do sell cakes on the side. Not very often because my kids come first, but I do enjoy the occasional cake. I mostly do it for friends and family these days. Thank you so much for the compliment! I really do enjoy making them!

Awesome cake!! I love the airbrushing. A friend of mine got me an airbrush machine as a gift, but I have no idea where to start with it:P Whenever I see a cool airbrushed cake, it motivates to go figure it out! Your cake is definitely motivating me! Thanks for sharing:)
Ashlee
Thank you so much! I just opened it up and started! I bought a set of different colors and played around. Roll out a big piece of fondant and play around, closer, farther, holding the spray gun trigger more or less… Just have fun!!! It’s totally worth it. My first airbrush cake was my pumpkin, it was so so SO much fun to do! http://ashleemarie.com/carved-and-airbrushed-pumpkin-cake/
