KATAMARI DAMACY CAKE!!!!

it's a katamari!! like from katamari damacy!!

ok, here are the specs--solid cake made with this recipe, doubled (subbing in whole eggs and yolks to make it a yellow cake).

the icing is a buttercream frosting recipe, tripled.

the cupcakes were made from the basic cupcake recipe from clare crespo's hey, there cupcake.

it weights about five pounds (approx 2267 grams) and is approx a foot tall. (30 cm)

i was orignially going to use candy dough to sculpt a little prince and some cows to stick on the katamari, but i couldn't get the dough to work as well as i would've liked.

i can't wait to eat it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

What an awesome cake! I'd love to see a katamari cake entered in our State Fair this year ... hmmm ... maybe I'll have to make one (even though you're the only reason I've ever even heard of Katamari Damacy ... I don't even know what it means!)

I'm seriously wanting some cake. I wish I had thrown responsibility to the wind and gone to memphis this weekend!

Scootie says:

hahahahaha. I should have guessed, the clues were all there :)

now I'm just worried that you'll roll up all the flickrites into this big katamari and it grows (to quote the namco website) into "a monstrous freak of nature" :)
"ravaging through city streets, picking up momentum and skyscrapers along the way"

aaaaaaiiii! look out! katamariiii!

I dare you to make another one to wear to a party as a haaaat, so you can walk around and have people eat cake off your head :)

HyperBob says:

I wonder where you get your inspiration from???

Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

Rakka says:

HAHAHAHA!!! there's nothing to fear anymore, scootie. enough of the cake's been eaten to where i can't roll anyone up into a monstrous freak of nature. :D!

oh, i'm not wearing one of those on my head. that @#@#$# was heavy! HAHA!

thanks, sylvia! i'll post the other pics soon! promise!

it's a good guess, hyperbob, but the cake's actually based on the game katamari damacy.

This katamari damacy cake is cute and therefore looks japanese. i think it's like this, CUTE = JAPANESE. But I might be wrong, it might be JAPANESE = CUTE. it's one of those.
