Hey all!
So this weekend I worked on a cake for a new client I went to high school with a couple years ago--she needed a cake for her sisters Quinceanera--which incidentally became a HUGE party. It was in a beautiful banquet hall with white tablecloths, ribbons and Masquerade decorations everywhere. I left before everything started but they were about to bring on a group of professional dancers to perform with the birthday girl.
SO! In other words this was a biggie!
The family wanted a fun cake to fit the theme and gave me a picture of a cake by PinkCakeBox.
With a few changes of course...
The bottom tier was Chocolate fudge cake with a fresh glazed strawberry filling, the middle tier was white cake with mint butter cream, and the top was red velvet with chocolate fudge.
The best part about this cake was that most of the work was in advance--a lot of things needed to be made and let to set up and dry days before I even started the cake--so the actual decorating part didnt take all too long.
The hassle--TOPSY TURVY. My god I love these cakes but man they are hard to get right!
I made the mistake of trying to shape them with too short a knife. Thank god they came out as I wanted them too and the cake was a hit.
This cake (with the right size slices) feeds up to 120 people. It was a fun cake to make and fun people to work with, another great weekend!
Until next time!
Kim
