Who here had the Ace make them the Red Pinto cake?
The episode is called The Big Red Squidd ,Geoff makes a Red Ford Pinto
Pardon my cluelessness...but what are y'all talking about... red Pinto cakes, aces, squids... I've heard of red velvet cake... ???
Do you watch the food network? Ace of cakes is a show about a baker from the east coast. He makes cakes ,the show was on last night. He made a cake of a Red Pinto for a customer. I wondered if it was anyone on this board.
Dang!!! I'm sorry I missed that!
Dwayne :smile:
Sorry I don't have cable... haven't for over 5 years. I miss watching the shows... I'm sorry I missed it too. How very cool. Tell me about this cake. Was the cake itself shaped like a Pinto or did it have a pic or artwork of a Pinto?
huh, thats cool. i see that show every once in a while. maybe I can catch a rerun of it. if i do i'll let y'all know.
According to the "Ace of Cakes" website, the episode is slated to air again at 8:00 p.m. on September 8, 3:00 a.m. on September 9, and at 5:00 p.m. on September 13. I'm going to plan on watching it if at all possible. In answer to Becky's question, judging from the cake photos online, the cake looks like a miniature Pinto. Can't wait to see it!
Dwayne :smile:
Glad to see it will air again,it looked wonderful like a clay model.blupinto find a friend to watch it with, you'll be blown away.I liked when Geoff spoke about the car, he said he liked them and it reminded him of the old days. I think many of us feel the same way.
I briefly entertained the idea of ordering a Pinto cake for the 40th anniversary in Carlisle in 2011. Then I looked at the ordering information on their website and learned that their cakes START at $1000. If that's their minimum price, it's hard to say what the cake might cost by the time they're finished with it! :surprised:
Dwayne :smile:
If I should be VERY lucky enough to be able to do Carlisle 2011 with the help of someone's oven I can at least make a sheetcake and draw (with colored icing) a Pinto or even the kicking filly. How big was this ace of cakes cake? It can't be too hard. Cake sculpting might have to be employed but it's probably doable. Of course it's too darn hot here to even think of turning the oven on but maybe this winter I'll experiment (BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!) :devil: :amazed: ;D

Ah come on Dwayne, that's pocket change. Why not buy one for every Pinto owner there?? LOL :hypno: :lol: ;D
Says the girl with Pintos practically coming out of her ears... :lol: ;) ;D

You took the words right out of my mouth, Becky!
Dwayne :smile:
P.S. - If we could get every member of this site to contribute $1.00, we could buy several of them - would make a neat dessert for a banquet.
I JUST SAW THAT SHOW AND WANT ONE OF THE CAKES!!! The cool thing was that it started dripping something that looked like oil when they delivered it to the person so that added to the whole feel of a Pinto
Got to see that episode tonight... the cake was definitely awesome. The "oil" leak was hilarious!
Dwayne :smile:
Yeah! Pretty neat gotta see it again.
P
Where can i find that episode i missed it
It's airing one more time - Sunday, September 13th at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Food Network. Believe me, it's worth seeing!
Dwayne :smile:
I got to watch it today good show and should be easy enough to make a somewhat similar cake i could not make the same type frosting (fondue) as my sister-in-law called it. She is a cake decorator just not the extravagent. i ask her to make one but she did not see that eppisode. :(
the bet part " if this cake explodes i will just have to recall all my cakes"
phil
Maybe we can see if we can see is we can link the episode to this site? I will look into it.
Becky,
You said you watched the "Ace of Cakes" tape I sent you. Don't keep me in suspense... what did you think of that little culinary masterpiece?
Dwayne :smile:
As an avid Pinto fan I have to sat it was pretty darn good... but as an artist who draws and sculpts and notices details of what she loves, I think I might do better. I just need to know how to do fondant. I was really impressed with that big red thing (Sweet Cheeks) the other cakers made. I can't imagine either cake being eaten- they were too good! Now I didn't mean to brag if that's what I did. As Pinto cakes go it was a work of art. I did cringe when I heard the cakers sat things like "boxy" and one of the caker girls saying if they get hit from behind the engine blows up. Ooooof. That group has a lot of fun doing those cakes. ;D
I'm absolutely amazed :surprised: because your thoughts echo mine! While I think the idea, and the execution, were awesome (especially for someone who apparently had little or no Pinto knowledge and was working entirely from photos) the end result would have rated about an 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. Pintos weren't boxy, but the Pinto cake was a bit square in places where it should have been round. I studied art for 12 years through public school, private art lessons, and college. Never tried sculpting anything out of cake, but my gut instinct is that, due to my love of Pintos, my rendition might be a bit more precise. Might have to study up on that fondant and see what happens!
Dwayne :smile:
Check out: whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm Lots of good info!
Well guys I started this post to find out who ordered the cake. I guess we'll never know. ;)

Sorry, Skunky56, I guess we sort of highjacked your thread. My guess is that the recipient of the cake (I seem to remember it was ordered by his wife) is not a member of this site.
Dwayne :smile:
I have the tape... I'll get the cakery name and hopefully a name. If they were on this site I think they would've shared that with us before the show aired. For those of you on the East Coast the cakery is in Baltimore. I shall return... ;D
Okay, I got the couples first names... Kathy got the Pinto cake fotr her husband Tom. The cakery is Charm City Cakes, Geof was the sculptor... Igot the impression that Tom's family owned a succession of Pintos over the years but Tom and Kathy don't currently have one and that may be why they're not on the Pinto site. If I were him and I was, I would've been keen to share pix of the cake before the show aired. Tom and Kathy live in Virginia (Jim, Dwayne and other Virginia Pinto-people take note!) I hope thisa helps. I typed a reply but it seems to have disappeared...

I would have to assume that would be northern VA, since the bakery is in Baltimore. Probably around Fiarfax or Alexandria, would be my guess.
Dwayne :smile:
Dang Blu ,cool info maybe a job with the local CSI would suit you well. :0)
Thanks Paul
Well Paul, I would've been CSI material if I got the last name of the couple. Thanks also goes to Dwayne for sending me the tape- otherwise I'd be no help at all. :laugh: Thank you Paul for the high compliment! ;D
