Skylanders Party & Cake Masters Challenge @skylandersthegame @SkylandersGame

I received products in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Did you know that this year marks 5 years since the video game franchise Skylanders first launched? It doesn’t seem like that long ago but Skylanders is a game that changed video gaming. A video game that uses characters on a portal that kids can actually play with when they are not gaming? Seriously so cool!  Skylanders was actually the first video game my boys ever played and ever since they have played every Skylanders game available. It is a game that my family has yet to tire of, which is fortunate since we have like a million Skylanders to play with.

To celebrate the 5 year anniversary, the Skylanders team enlisted the help of famed cake decorator Duff Goldman, to create a life sized, edible and playable treat only he and his team could pull off. The adventure was captured on camera for Duff’s newest show Cake Masters, premiering on Food Network.

Known for some of the most-massive, mind-blowingly elaborate cakes, Duff Goldman and his experts in cake design are back on Food Network for a new series. On the premier episode, the cake masters take on a mega cake for the anniversary of powerhouse video-game franchise, Skylanders. The bakers bite off more than they can chew when they are tasked with staying true to the franchise by allowing the cake to come to life with a Skylanders Portal!

To celebrate the Cake Masters premiere we threw a Skylanders party. We received Duff cake mix but didn’t get to make it because I didn’t realize the frosting I had was expired. The cake mix looks amazing with the blue color even though I wouldn’t be able to make a creation like Cake Masters!
