Yesterday, I spent most of the day baking, making frostings, designing, collaborating, and finally finishing THIS CAKE:
A two-layer white sheet cake (my first sheet cakes ever), baked by my trusty Baker In Chief (Trev)...the second batch of them, actually. But that story is for another day.The final product included name piping, rope piping (buttercream frosting), a few star sprinkles, and the Boy Scout eagle pin design that I made earlier in the week with a new technique that I just learned: Color Flow.
The rope design is something I learned in my class just the other week as well:
And for a brighter view (outside light during the day vs. inside light during the night)...

The Eagle Court of Honor was tonight, for a great kid named Zane. His mother (also a dear friend) called last week after she found out her original cake-baker was not able to fulfill the order. I felt daring and said "sure!"
It was quite an experience working with sheet cakes, new piping techniques, and color flow: each for the FIRST TIME on an official CAKE ORDER. From the reviews I received tonight, I think it was a hit!
I've said it before but I must say it again--I couldn't do it all without Trevor's awesome support & help!

First official order??? So you have officially opened shop? That is great!!! The cake looks fantastic and I loved the cupcakes.
Hey - Uncle Dan and Aunt Mildred are coming into town this weekend...you should drive over and join them! (I know, I know...it's just wishful thinking....very very wishful)
Hope you are all doing well.
Miss you!
Wow! What a fantastic job! Wanna come do my boys in a few months? ; )
This was actually my 4th official cake order--but I worked with a lot of FIRSTS by doing it, so it felt a bit *crazy* at times while I was working on it!! It was tons of fun, though & now I know how to do it!!
I'm not advertising or doing anything too BUSINESS-y, just when someone asks I've been doing cakes for them.
For now...

This was absolutely amazing AGAIN. I think I may need to place another order :)
Amazing!

Wow-eee! If you keep this up, you're gonna need a separate blog just for your cake pics!!
