I haven't posted many cakes here lately so I thought I would update you on the latest. First cake is Rob's birthday cake. He celebrated his 35th birthday on the 8th of April. Even though Rob isn't a huge sweets person I knew that I had to make him one or I would never hear the end of it. I went really simple. Some times simple is best. This turned out to be the straightest, most level cake I have done. Even though it was plain I was very proud of it. 
Next was last weekend. I was asked to make a Mushroomhead cake for Tiffany's husband's birthday. Tiffany is one of Cameron's teachers. Mushroomhead is a heavy metal band that is her husband's favorite so she was thrilled when I said I could do it.
And that brings me up to today. I have decided to undertake my most ambitions cake to date. One of Cameron's friends Ella will be three next week. Ella's mom Laurie asked if I would be able to do a princess cake for Ella. I maybe crazy but I agreed. So below is the approved drawing (not to scale and please excuse my drawing abilities) of what Ella's cake will be. I am doing a lot of elements on this cake. Ella is getting a three tiered vanilla cake with chocolate ganache filling. It will be fondanted in white fondant with fuchsia, turquoise, yellow, and pink accents. The topper for the cake will be a fondant bow with a custom sparkly pink wooden 3. We are also trying to incorporate a tiara in the bow below the 3. So I hit Joann's Fabrics today and got the supplies for the 3 and started that (pictures to come later) and next I will work on the bow and some of the flowers. This will be a lot of work and it all has to be done by Thursday the 7th. We will see I will try to post updates as the cake progresses.
On a side note I was very flattered when today the owner of Gymboree ask me to think about donating a cake or a gift certificate for a cake to a charity silent auction she is working on. She said it is a way to drum up business and get my cakes out there. I am not really sure if I am ready for that yet. I don't think that I am anywhere ready for something like that. I don't know. I may just have to talk to Meshell a bit more before I decide. Maybe after I see how things go with Ella's cake!!!
