Everyone Loves Cake….

So with spring in full effect, I thought why not start off the fresh month of April with a sweet treat!

As some of you may have guessed from my name ‘Lemon Cake’, I like cake, ALOT! I did do a ‘Little Lemon Cakery’ blog last year but the cakes all got too much to juggle with the rest of my life! So for now, that side of my life is dormant but I still enjoy baking at weekends, for friends birthdays, occasions and looking at other peoples amazing creations!

Here I have collated a list of my favourite sneaker related cakes from over the last couple of years for you guys to enjoy….

MJ’s JORDAN IV BIRTHDAY CAKE

Perhaps the oldest Sneaker Cake in the history of sneaker cakes, was Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 4 Cake that was presented to him by his Madukes and Pops back in 89′!

TIFFANY NIKE SB DUNK BIRTHDAY CAKE


Sneakerhead Matt Jae from LA celebrated in fashion in December 2011 with an incredibly accurate Nike ‘Tiffany’ SB replica cake! My personal favourite SB too!

AIR JORDAN 11 BLACK/RED GROOM’S WEDDING CAKE

Now this one has to be my absolute favourite! It was made my Texas based Sandia Horng aka @WhiskThis and this was actually her first ever sneaker cake, can you believe it!

“The Bride wanted to surprise her fiancée Mike with an awesome Grooms Cake for their wedding and came up with this idea. She said that this was Mike’s absolute favorite sneaker! We talked about several concepts but in the end she gave me full trust on the whole design. So I made an Air Jordan sneaker shoe box along with the shoe to display in front of the box.” – Sandia Horng



She is a really talented lady so make sure you check her blog out here!

Nike Air Foamposite One “Dark Neon Royal” & ‘Galaxy’ Birthday Cakes


Feast your eyes pon’ deez! I had to look a few times and check that this actually was a cake because it looks so close to the real thing its scary!

Galaxy
And again another Foamposite but this time in the form of the recently hyped ‘Galaxy’. These also look too real to be edible! As a fellow baker, I know I need work on my icing modelling techniques, and I’d LOVE to know how to create the galaxy print effect!



I dont know about you but I’d love to dig into this French vanilla flavoured freshness, made by ‘Made Fresh Daily Cakes’

Enjoy your cake with a slice of Farma G & tweet us your sneaker cakes to @bigeyeslilsoles!

Peace & CAKE!

Purrrrrr… ‘Black Beast’ Leopard AM 1s

Well well well, what do we have here!…

Here we have a little sneak preview of the ‘Leopard Pack’ Nike WMNS AM1′s! And wow are they sexy or what!?

If you know me, you’ll know I am usually a Jordan girl, but you’ll also know that I ADORE animal inspired print, so these are defiantly going to be on my 2012 cop list!

The black suede & nylon base colour really makes the leopard print stand out on the heel, forefoot and on the top lacing tabs. Rolling with an ivory white mid-sole topped off with classic alrming red lining the inside. The white swoosh makes these babies a clear contender for the AM1 hall of fame, especially adopting a nickname such as ‘Black Beast’.

Hearing news these should be hitting shelves around October 2012 but keep it Big Eyes for exact release date and where to buy!

Peace & Cake!

My BRED & Butter….

2012 sees the return of the Air Jordan IV ‘Bred’ Black / Red which happens to be my second favourite Jordan! The swish black and red colourway with the grey midsole & eyelets and black netting make this Jordan a PURE CLASSIC! Set to release on ‘Black Friday’ 2012 (November)

ON TOP OF THAT… we’ve been hearing rumors flying around that the Air Jordan XI Black/Red could be hitting the shelves in December! Now this IS exciting, so get saving because November/December 2012 could potentially be expensive months!

Peace & Rizzzzz

Jordan III ‘The Icing On The Cake’

No, unfortunately it’s not a new colourway of Jordan III, it’s just an immensely amazing and delicious cake that my friend made me for my birthday last Friday!!
I couldn’t miss the opportunity to share it with you guys because I know all you sneaker fanatics will appreciate how rad this beast looks, and just for the record it tasted ridiculously good as well!

If you live in the Manchester area (UK) and you’re interested in a cake as good as this for somebodies birthday celebration, you can contact ‘Cupcake Flick’ on her Facebook page.

Candy Cakes

Today I passed by the same cake shop I see every time we go to Carnaby Street… only this time, I went in!
Double Choc Cupcake

Fudge mmmmm and that icing looks AMAZING!
Not much more to say.. I can’t wait to eat it!

Get yours here!

Nike78

Found this when I was searching online. I wish I was this talented!
‘NIKE78 is an exciting new project created by Paul Jenkins and inspired by NIKE. Creatives involved will receive a brand new pair of NIKE shoes and will be asked to use sport as inspiration to challenge their function.’
Such an amazing idea, it’s so rad when people use their creativity to change the way we see and use sneakers.
Here are a few of my favourites:
Wieden & Kennedy Tokyo LAB – Abuku – Had to put these in.. sick!

Erica Dorn – Marathon Cake – my personal favourite.. NOM NOM NOM


Nick Marsh – Nike Wiis – I know Lei will love these!!


Fred Butler x Chrissie Abbott – Let’s Get This Shoe On The Road – Just because I love Whacky Races!!

I’m always amazed at how differently people take on a brief and come up with such diverse creations all from the same sneaker. These are ridiculous and yet incredible. Check out the other entries here
I love these and still definitely want an Air Max cake for my birthday this year (hint, hint)!

Tasty Sneakers

I love food, especially cakes and cupcakes. I also love sneakers.
Mix the two together and this it what happens…
The Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Tiffany’ Cake

It’s my birthday 4 weeks today and if anybody was wondering what to get me, I definitely wouldn’t say no to an Infra Cake!!
Komaki Ueno is an incredibly talented baker/sneaker head.
How real does this look!! Even the laces and the texture on the tongue.. I’d feel bad eating it!
I hope it tasted as yum as it looks!
