Gravity-Defying Cakes
Sugar craft specialist Eloise Durrant has a commission like no other: a gravity-defying, five-tier cake that will hang upside down like a chandelier.

A Fishy Commission
Husband and wife team Phil and Christine Jensen hope to scale new heights with a very fishy commission: a five-foot long lemon and elderflower cake designed to look like a leaping fish decorated with over 17 pounds of sugar paste. Meanwhile, an expectant couple asks baker Eloise Durrant to bake a special cake, the color of which will reveal their baby's gender to party guests ... and to the parents-to-be!
Three-Foot-Tall Fairy Cake
Creating an extreme cake takes a special kind of person -- someone like sugar craft specialist Eloise Durrant who is asked to make a three-foot-tall fairy cake for a toddler's birthday party. Also, Michelle Wibowo produces a six-foot-long miniature steam train made entirely out of cake, while wedding cake designer Karisha Pithwa makes a five-tier cake with nearly 900 edible iced flowers.

Ball Gown Celebration Cake
Molly Robbins has a very tall order -- a celebration cake for a customer to help him celebrate 35 years as a drag artist. The cake will be a life-size ball gown complete with 50 edible peacock feathers and 3,000 gold flowers. Meanwhile, chocolatier Tracy Kindred has been asked to produce a four-tiered wedding cake covered in more than 65 pounds of chocolate and decorated with hand-painted, edible scenes from the bride and groom's life together.

Bakers Phil and Christine Jensen create a four-tier cake with 28 edible tulip decorations inspired by the Queen's House in Greenwich, near London.
Gothic Wedding Cake
Chocolatier Tracey Kindred loves thinking outside the box, and a gruesome, four-tier wedding cake that pays tribute to a bride and groom's love of all things gothic is right up her alley.

The cake design includes the colors of the Nigerian flag and a hand-carved sugar silhouette of the London skyline.

Meanwhile, baker Nastassja Lusengo designs a four-foot-tall cake that celebrates motherhood.
Lady Liberty Cake
Sugar craft specialist Eloise Durrant receives an order with "wow" written all over it -- a four-foot-tall cake replica of the Statue of Liberty! But with more than 22 pounds of icing for the famous gown, will this lady be able to stand on her own two feet?

For baker Karisha Pithwa, a towering, seven-tier wedding cake with 150 handcrafted sugar flowers is one of her most extravagant commissions to date.
An Edible Portrait on a Cake Canvas
