had a baby shower cake for a friend on sunday. i didn't really get much direction, so i kind of went with what i could find out. my friend had posted a picture of the outfit she is going to bring the baby home in on her first day, and it was, of course, pink of various shades, with a curtsey-ing little monkey in an orange polka dotted dress. the way it was set out, i came up with this pretty quick. i added the monkey border and the flowers, just because i like making flowers, and i felt like the bottom needed something to tie it together. i think it came out pretty decent. it was definitely a big hit with everyone there! a chocolate tier and a vanilla tier, both filled with whipped cream and strawberries. not sure why, but i felt like that was fitting for a little girl as well. i couldn't tell you the inner workings of my mind.
on another note, not that i get many responses through this page, but those in the manlius, ny vicinity and so forth....PLEASE, if you ask for something, i need to know in advance!! like two weeks at least! i had a surprise cake come up today, so now i have two for this saturday. i love baking and all, but until i have a steady flow of people who need cakes and treats, i do work two jobs, probably between 45-60 hours a week, and i fit my cakes in or ask for time off accordingly. it is very hard to do last minute.
so on that end, i better get cracking if i wanna get this done o_O
also, i decided to add a new slideshow for the actual new stuff from here on out. hopefully i remember to keep up on this. there are more pictures of the wedding cake plus a few of this one, just a couple close ups of the piping and flowers and such. hope you all enjoy!
