Description This is a cake I made for someone who is really into Apple Newtons. I did this cake a couple years ago and came across it today so I thought I would put it up here now that I have a place to post my stuff! It was chocolate cake with chocolate and white frosting with different colors added. The toughest part was the apple at the bottom which I had to pipe with each color separately and then smooth together with a knife because I don't have a cake sprayer at home. (The name on the cake was removed in Photoshop per request, hence the 'Happy Birthday' doesn't look centered.)

Newton is owned by the Apple company.

Oh this is awesome!!!  I remember the Newton, and thinking "what idiot in his right mind would ever USE one of these things??"  And here I am with 2 iPads and a new Mac Pro that I just installed a video capture board in.

This is executed so beautifully, especially amazing since you used butter icing and not fondant. Much tastier.

This cake looks great, both to look at and to eat (as do all your cakes)! I can't believe you managed that logo--it looks perfect!
(I like Apples, too, though I've never heard of the Newton.)

Thank you!! The logo did take me a while, but it was worth it! I have to have an Apple computer... I couldn't live without one!

Same here…I've stuck with it despite criticism from all my fellow computer engineering majors.

But seriously…to be able to get that much detail out of cake icing? I'm in awe!

cake decoration is most definitely an art, like anything else, and you seem to have mastered it. all of the details are perfect! if this cake had been made for me, I wouldn't even want to eat it because the details are all so perfect!

Thanks! I guess people that enjoyed owning a Newton get the full effect of the cake. (I hadn't heard about the Newton until I met the recipient of the cake... ) But now I recognize their coolness factor.

The Newton is a PDA that came about in the early 90s. You can read more about it here if you want to.
