quite proud of these cakes!
Oct. 4th, 2009 09:01 pmso i was asked to watch two very wonderful little girls on saturday, and their mother also asked me to make a cake for her daughter's birthday which was sunday. i went to interview with them on monday this past week, and they took to me right away (which made me feel great). while i was there visiting with them, the mother asked me about the cake. so i asked the young one what she wanted. she suggested a yellow cake with coffee buttercream in the middle and chocolate buttercream on top. i thought that would be a good combination. then she thought about it and asked if the kids would like that. we talked for a bit and i suggested that we make a cake for the adults and a cupcake cake for the kids. i could make part chocolate cupcakes and part yellow cupcakes then frost them all together to make one big cake. both the little girl and the mom thought that was a great idea. then she could taste the yellow cake she wanted and still be able to serve the other kids. we talked about designs for the cake, and she said she likes flowers...orchids specifically. O_o ummmm i dont know of one 8 year old who likes orchids specifically. but...that's what the customer wants...that's what the customer will get.
so...i was engaged. i was to make a yellow cake with coffee buttercream filling (which i had never made) and chocolate buttercream on top AND...a chocolate and yellow cupcake cake with whatever frosting. both to be topped with some form of flowers at least one of which should be an orchid.
( this is what i came up with (extremely picture heavy) )
well...those are the pictures of the cuppie cake...
( and back here are the pictures of the yellow cake )
so there they are...my 2 latest cakes. i had no idea what i was going to do until i started creating. i think they turned out lovely.
note for mothers...the cuppie cakes are so very easy to do. if you are interested in learning, i can show you how easy they are. you can also make shapes with them (most shapes anyway) and make them look like certain things. they are the best idea ever because you dont have to worry about this person wanting the corner or this child complaining that she didn't get enough icing, etc. you should always make a little more than you think you will need in case you have parents who want cake also.
