Of course there would be a blizzard on the date of the party! We are in Maine right? So, with less than half of the invited guests planning to attend, I got started on the cakes that were the reason for everything. The 6" red daisy cake was lemon cake with lemon butter cream icing. The 8" orange daisy cake was white cake with white chocolate butter cream icing and a raspberry filling. The 10" pink daisy cake was chocolate cake with peanut butter butter cream icing.After a very late night, with Linda's help punching out tiny little white circles to adorn each petal, we were ready to transport the cakes to the party and set up.
Actual cake set up at the party.They looked great. I was so happy and from what everyone said, they tasted great too.
I had accomplished my goal and achieved what I set out to do...make a cake instead of buying one that I couldn't afford....ahem. Okay, so I probably spent enough on tools and supplies to buy a cake directly from Duff, but now I have a signature cake and I'm still learning, so hopefully some day I'll have a portfolio and might actually be able to make a cake to order.
Please don't hold your breath.
