So, I just finished another cake. My friend's daughter is a having a birthday tomorrow and she requested a present cake. She was at the party with the last cake and wanted one like it but for a girl. I chose pink and green simply because i was having a hell of a time getting my fondant to dye brown. So, instead of pink and brown I had to improvise and go with green. I also made a last minute decision on the ribbon of the bow. I really didn't like how they turned out so I made fresh ribbons that layed flat as opposed to the ones you see in the progression pics. I was up until 2am last night getting the baking and layering done. I was probably delirious because I completely forgot to take pix of the layering process. But, this morning when I was back into my right mind, I remembered in time to document the fondant transformation. So, those pictures are at the end of the post. I am having a great time building my portfolio and getting some free babysitting in the process...I love it! I have three girls and a night alone is unheard of. However, my payment for this cake was a night of babysitting; the only reason I was able to logically work until 2am. It was nice but very strange and unusual. So, my dog's birthday is on Friday and as per a request from my daughter I will be making a birthday cake for him tomorrow...So, check back in by Friday for the next addition.
