In 14 years of this baking and caking business we'd never made a Monopoly-themed cake. And then just a few weeks ago...we made THREE?!
I don't know what happened. A glitch in the matrix perhaps. But three of the same theme in one week was a bit of surprise. And then, we hear one of them was being FLOWN to Geneva.
I'm not sure if the cake was going as under-seat baggage allowance, but something gave me the impression that it wasn't a budget airline anyway. I didn't ask many questions because I didn't want to be stressing about the cake's onward journey but I haven't heard anything about it since we delivered it to somewhere in Guildford. And I've long learnt that "no news is good news".
The Monopoly cake is so involved - I love the details. We have an edible Monopoly man, dog and car player tokens, house and hotel tokens, chance cards and of course, property title deeds and, of course, monopoly moneyyyyy.
The Swiss meringue buttercream colour had to be none other than the classic Monopoly board light teal. Once frosted smooth, it took every ounce of my nerves to pipe black pinstripes on it - such a tiny detail but took SO much time and faith in the process.
This was the feedback from one of the Monopoly cakes delivered. I can only hope it's the same for the others!
You can order our Monopoly cake here. The standard cake is an existing design. If you want the game tokens, Chance cards, property title deeds or other decorative elements changed for the recipient, those are Custom adaptations; a simple name, age or short message is Personalisation.

Big Monopoly Love,

ps: I don't even like the game.
