A short week?

This week was a challenge.. although the challenge wasn't creating the cake, but trying to get to 40 hours!  The heat wave in the Northeast doesn't seem to be treating anyone too well.  I'm getting increasingly antsy waiting for business to pick back up again.  Maybe mid to late august we should see an improvement? 

Onto the cakes that were finished this week.  I had one three tier wedding cake, a two tier separated wedding cake, and a couple smaller ones.

The Lane three tier wedding cake was an incredibly complicated cake, consisting of Almond cake with ganache filling, coconut cake with ganache filling, and the icing on the cake.. so to say, was Italian Buttercream.  All in all I think that the cake might taste wierd, but I didn't have the chance to talk with the customer to help them change their mind.  Oh well, to each there own I guess?

These twins twins as well as the nautical compass below were part of the Gray wedding.  The twin cakes were both the same cake, one is wrong and the other is right.. can you guess which one?  I had to remove the exterior designs after realizing that I had iced the cake incorrectly.  You could imagine the tension that was created when I realized that I read the order wrong.  On the up side though I was able to gain an additional two hours from fixing my error haha.

This cake looks awesome as a picture, but looks much different in person.  As Joshua said "artwork is best viewed at a distance".  When viewing the cake in person you can't help but notice the lines of icing that I used to fill in the nautical star.. it does look a bit funny, but as I said before, you need to look at it from far away.  

My stuff is no "Ace of Cake" or "Cake Boss"... but it's still kewl

I just got a nice camera for my birthday so I may start to create videos!  Keep an eye out for them :D

Till I see you again on wednesday, have a great weekend!
