Rob Schrab cake for Image Comics
Rob Schrab is a writer, creator, artist extraordinaire. He is known for co-writing the movie Monster House, working on the Sarah Silverman show and for comic fans, as the creator of Scud the Disposable Assassin.
His new book But I Can’t Do Anything Else! The Art of Rob Schrab highlights his sketches of sci-fi, horror and monster images that have never been released.
Image Comics asked me to make a cake for the Rob Schrab book release party held at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. My design concept was to make a massive cake that looked like a fuzzy monster, complete with peeking eyeballs along the side and the actual book cover on top. Scary, cute, and of course, delicious. A cute but disturbing cake perfect for a monster party!
Rob Schrab cake for Image Comics
Ingredients:
Red Velvet Cake
candy eyeballs
Instructions:
I made a two layer red velvet cake and frosted it with cream cheese frosting. To achieve the ‘monster fuzz’ I baked another cake and crumbled it to smithereens, pressing the cake crumbs into the sides of the cake with just enough pressure to stick and look furry.
I printed out the book cover image with edible ink, laid that on the very top of the cake, and then pressed more ‘cake fuzz’ right up along the edge of the image. Then I added various sized sugar eyeballs along the sides of the cake.
That looks amazing, and I bet tasted just as good! Rob lucked out, I tell ya!
Awesome!! It kind of reminds me of the Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter!
