Phewff! What a weekend! After baking and decorating this beauty I was totally burnt out! Looking at it now I am very happy with the end result! However, the process and time involved was not so pretty! As a full time teacher it is a little hard to take on a big job like this, BUT I was up to challenge and I like to think that I passed!
The cake and the cupcakes were choc flavoured with purple buttercream. I used a 1M tip to create a rose swirl effect, and I used a petal tip (can't remember the number) for the ruffles. The cupcakes took me about fifteen minutes to decorate. On the other hand the cakes took me 4+ hours to decorate as I was constantly running out of icing! Ruffle cakes need PLENTY of icing, next time I will be more prepared!
The best thing about baking and decorating is making people happy. The cake/cupcakes are always the center of attention, you say cake, I say celebration! My client had later messaged me telling me how happy she was and her guests were not also commenting on the look but also the taste! I am so pleased as taste is a major factor for me. I want to make sure that I bake and decorate pretty and yummy cakes, not too keen on piling high with play dough (just kidding)!
Blood, sweat and tears aside, I am pleased with the cakes and cupcakes, and the best part was seeing the look on my customer's face when she first laid eyes on the cakes!

Hey Miss Ouano ,
ReplyDeleteYour client must of been really lucky to have a cake that was baked by you. It looked really Sweet and Pretty just like you. I like how you used the colour Purple that's my Favourite colour. I also like how you blended the colours WHITE and PURPLE together it really matched.
