An Arthopod With Your Cake Anyone?

I have had more and more birthday orders by the person celebrating the birthday. So far all women, they are not going to wait around for someone to buy them the “perfect” cake, they are going to do it themselves.

This most recent cake was for, you guessed it, a Scorpio. We made the cake red velvet, her favorite flavor, and then matched the design to the cakes pretty red color. Both 2 and 3-dimensional, the design was definitely eye-catching.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Twice

Linda and I met well over a decade ago when she referred me to her husband’s accounting firm. He’s been my accountant ever since. She called me a few weeks ago t order a baby shower cake for a friend.  They are expecting twin girls and that popular saying “Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, That’s What Little Girls are Made of ” is stenciled on the nursery wall. The cake was to be a surprise so to add that little extra piece by repeating the saying made it even better. My favorite part was the cheerios spilling out of the tupperware container.

Winter Green

I worked with Blair when we designed her boyfriend’s birthday cake: the great Viking Ship I posted a few months ago. It was so exciting when she called to say he had proposed and they’d set the date for early December. Her colors were going to be green, black,  and white and she was ready to set up a tasting appointment. White and Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream for two of the layers to please most guests and then spiced apple with caramel buttercream because she loved that combo! (Me too)

It was decided that to save costs on delivery, the cake would be picked up and driven to Wisconsin by a friend of the couple. That meant the cake needed to be very stable and the gumpaste flowers able to travel without being damaged.
The flowers and berries were botanically correct in 3 shades of green from the sample image she sent me. I gave the cake a little shimmy and bump before boxing to be certain nothing would knock together or rattle in travel.

Pretty and clean for a winter cake with green.
