100 pounds of pure fat

Two words: Buttercream Icing...

Traditional white buttercream icing

As i've mentioned in my most recent blog... I have a really busy week ahead of me with five wedding cakes, two shop orders, as well as shop display cakes.  From what I have counted I have a total of 25 ordered cakes, but a total of over 30 takes that will be completed by the end of the week.  Naturally you've got to have something to cover the cake in!

This week I spent eight and a half hours making icing for all the cakes due this week!  Just under 150 pounds of pure fat and confectioners sugar..  Now when I mention the weight it's a combination of our two icings, traditional buttercream, and Italian buttercream.  Between the two icings there are 42 pounds of butter!

Imagine eating two slices of cake and what it would do to your hips.

Oh well, that wicked amount of fat keeps me in a job.  So do yourself and a cake decorator a favor, and go buy some cupcakes or a single serve cake slice.  You won't regret it ;)

Stay tuned on Saturday for the finished product from my hard week at work!  Till then.. have a great week
