Making Hyperrealistic Cakes With Sam Cade Of Cades Cakes

There’s nothing Sam Cade can’t turn into a cake: A burger, beer bottle, sneaker, oyster, handbag, and even a giant slice of cherry pie. The founder of Cades Cakes and star of Netflix’s “Is It Cake?” is one of the country’s leading hyperrealistic cake artists and she joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about the tricks and artistry she puts into every cake she makes. 

Sam does a deep dive into the realistic cherry pie cake filled with Oreo layers, fondant, and buttercream that she made for a Cherry Bombe party in Dallas. The two chat about Sam’s love of messy arts and crafts, her time working at Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar, and her tips for working with that divisive ingredient, fondant.
