My First Commission

Hey, guys!

So a month ago I received a call for a legit wedding cake! It was for a beautiful bride named Myra. After a consultation and cake tasting with her and her mother, we decided to make a four-tiered, cream-colored wedding cake with white fondant ribbon and bows.  The result is below! I am quite proud of it. =D

 The top three tiers are Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake, and the bottom is Triple Chocolate Cake.

It took me running to literally seven different stores in the mall, calling two different Michaels, and searching through the notions and jewelry section of Walmart before I found the brooches for the bows. But luckily, right when I was about to give up hope, I found two gorgeous pearl bracelets with detachable pins that were only $5 each at Sears!Surprising, right? But beautiful nonetheless!

The chocolate layer was filled with chocolate ganache, and everything was covered in white chocolate buttercream. Mmmm.

The whole project took a solid week to complete (since I could only work at night after working at my full-time job), but I never could have finished anything without the help of my amazing mother! Thanks, Mama! She, my father, and wonderful friend Sarah helped me deliver the cake across town in the back of a mini-van. The amount of stress and ridiculousness that occurred that day enabled us to say, many times over, how we should have our own reality show. I'd watch that. ;)

And Saturday is my niece's 2nd birthday party. I can't believe it's been a year since her last one! You remember that cake, the Under the Sea cake?

Yeah, that one!

Well, this year, the party is Minnie Mouse themed. And the cake I am going to make for the occasion is sure to be adorable! Stay tuned! =D
