Custom Cakes

[mrb627]

I keep seeing these programs on tv where these bakers design and build amazing custom cakes. I can't help but wonder what an AGITATOR cake would be like. Or perhaps the top of a washer with detailed control panel.

Am I crazy?

Am I crazy?

Well, yea. . . but the washer cake idea is pretty good.

Ahah
I would think the blades would be an issue if it had thin blades, but if it was a ramped like blade that doesn't stick out I could see that working well.

I watch ace of cakes all the time. Great hilarious show.

Not exactly as

you are describing. But there was a "Maytag cake" at the convention in 2005!

I went to cake decorating school and actually did okay, but constructing an agitator cake would be a challenge. My first thought is to rule out fondant. That just seems a recipe for disaster, pun intended.

So which agitator design would translate most successfully into a baked good? Figuring that the entire cake is edible and cardboard is not used to replicate column vanes and base skirt fins, my vote would go to the Penta-Swirl. Seems like something that could actually be carved from basic cake shapes easier than fashioning a GE Ramp Activator or Whirlpool Super Surgilator (with wings!).

I think a penta swirl style would be not so challenging. The swirl fin would be near impossible I think.

But the easiest may be this style-

Agitator Choices

Well, initially I was thinking the Super Roto Swirl. But actually, I think the black roto swirl would be better. Or perhaps the 1-18 jetcone.

I love those cake show too, it just amazes me what they can do with a cake. I wonder if they could make one that looks like a IBM Selectric typewriter?

 

[iheartmaytag]

I think a Frigidaire pulsator agitator would translate into a good cake.

front loader

A sheet cake could be decorated to look like a front loader fairly easily. Perhaps I will give it a shot. I am not a professional but I do know how to bake a cake . My secret weapon is the modulating gas burner in my 1949 maytag dutch oven . A cake that looks just like an Equator EZ1000 (COMBINATION washer dryer ) should not be too difficult. Or how about a westinghouse space mate in frosting pink . . .
