My latest creations was for a groom. A friend from college gave me a call to make a cake for her fiance. All she told me was that he likes fishing and soccer. I looked on line to see if there had been any cakes bringing the two together. I had no luck finding anything. So I had to come up with something on my own. I showed her the sketch and she loved it. I had never created something so detailed. I just hoped I could pull it off. I started on Tuesday with the man and finished Friday. I even woke up at 5am to work on it for fear I would run out of time. It was nice to be finished with the project hours before pick up. But I did have one problem. The leg fell off. I was babysitting my cousin and he said it was a zombie cake. That wasn't going to be good enough so I went into repair mode and fixed it. It was a sigh of relief that it did come off again. The bride loved it and so did I.
The guests all stood around and took pictures of it. Really- you do awesome work. It looked great up close and far away- I didnt get to eat any because I left the wedding prior to cake cutting. I hear it was yummy though.

Thanks so much for your comments.
ReplyDelete@ Becs, With all honesty I myself have just started making cakes. If I had to give advice I would say start with a plan. Base your prices by checking with local bakeries. Practice, practice, practice! I like to work with fondant because your able to do more things, but it took a long time to get the hang of it. Thanks
