February has brought one snowstorm after another! Not only have we been slammed with snow here in Ohio, but I have been very busy with cake orders! That's a good thing...well, not the snow! Just when I think that I have tried everything, I get an order that really challenges me. This is why I love making these cakes!
The first new challenge was in sculpting a person for my husband's 40th. birthday cake. I was very pleased with how, "gumpaste Brent", as my daughter called it, turned out. I also had to spend a great deal of time on the cards, drawing in the details with edible markers, so that they actually looked like real playing cards!
The next challenge was a Hydrangea cake. This was my very first attempt at doing gumpaste and fondant flowers, very time consuming but they tuned out wonderful!!
I am starting to book larger events now, which is exciting! I am also booking Graduation cakes for this coming June, so I am anticipating the end of May/beginning of June being absolutely insane! Loving every minute of it, though!
