"ElisaStrauss" news and stories

This pastry chef makes cake-making look like...well, a piece of cake



Can you tell which one is made of butter and flour?

Pastry Chef Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes is the mastermind behind this and many other magnificent reproductions made of cake and fondant.

She put together a video of the construction of the dog cake, a four hour process sped-up to four minutes and set to hurried classical music that makes the whole process seem even more impressive. Watch as she whizzes through the crumb coating, tosses on layers of fondant and double-times the "fur" sculpting.

You should also check out a video montage of more of Strauss' cakes, from cheese steaks to hat boxes to Yankees caps. You'll walk away in awe, with a new appreciation for cake making and an unmistakable craving for sugar.
