Natalie Sideserf and her husband Dave are the owners of Sideserf Cake Studio. The couple launched the new business in 2013. The baker is brilliant in creating edible cake sculptures of famous celebrities. Her one of a kind creations have led to the success of the business which has just reached a new pinnacle. Her new show on the Food Network is “Texas Cake House” and has come about because of her creative endeavors sold through Sideserf Cake Studio. If you have an interest in seeing how these elaborate art pieces are made, then you can tune in to watch Natalie in action.
Here are five things that you didn’t know about “Texas Cake House.”
The city of Austin is showcased in the series
Natalie has been working with local business owners to present some aspect of their company through her unique creations. This makes the show even more interesting for people who live in the area. It’s exciting for the business people in Austin because their companies will not only have a delicious and wonderful cake, they will also gain exposure to the public. Advertisement on a national television network can only help to promote their goods and services.
Dave had reservations before joining Natalie in the venture
Natalie first established the cake studio and ran it on her own until last year. The studio’s popularity became so immense that she couldn’t keep up with the orders. Dave was a bit reluctant to quit his job. There was some fear of the unknown involved, but he made the leap of faith anyway. Within the year, the deal for “Texas Cake House” became a reality and it was plain to see that he had made the right choice.
Serious baking with comedy interludes
The show is about hard core baking and cake sculpting with a theme. It is about recreating Austin, Texas in cake form. Dave’s contributions to the show will be as co-host as well as resident comic and baker. He occupies multiple roles and is a great resource for Natalie on the show. He brings humor to the set which breaks up the seriousness of making deadlines in a hurry to keep the cake fresh, along with the labor intensive process of achieving perfection in each cake that is made.
Natalie brings instruction to the air
“Texas Cake House” brings us a look at how Natalie arrives at the final product. She is a talented artist who designs and builds the infrastructure that will hold all of the delicate pieces carefully in place. Working with cake is no easy feat as it tends to crumble and fall if not properly supported. She offered classes in cake making prior to her deal with the Food Network and the lady knows her stuff. Now we can see how she makes her magic and maybe learn a thing or two.
Natalie doesn’t always know how it will work out
In an interview, she shared that some of her greatest creations began with an idea of how to do it, but no concrete plans for the details. She is a master at using different ingredients to make the cakes hold their shape. Trial and error are definitely places she’s gone in her own learning process. She has an arsenal of knowledge to draw from that she has gained through her years of experience, but sometimes you just have to put yourself out there and take a chance. It will be interesting to watch her in action as she sculpts new creations that have never been done before.
