This was my first cake order. It was for a little girl's winter wonderland first birthday. The colors for the party were ice blue, white, and silver. Although I was intimidated at first, I'm so happy with the finished product.
I met with the mother and grandmother of the birthday girl for a cake tasting and boy was I nervous. It was a big undertaking just to do the cake tasting. I baked a couple dozen cupcakes in different flavors and filled them with an array of fillings. Then I frosted them with different icings. Finally we had their selection of vanilla cake with butterscotch frosting.
I worked on this cake, little by little, over the course of three days. The fondant snow flakes and chocolate snowflake topper were made a couple days in advance. All the baking was done the day before, and decorations and final touches were completed the day of.
Once this cake was delivered and I saw the excited faces, I was able to let out a sigh of relief. The first order was stressful, but I think it was worth it!
