I hope everyone had a super May long weekend! It was busy around here with 2 cakes going out - one Saturday afternoon and the other on Sunday. Both clients were happy which makes for a happy caker!
The "Ben 10" cake was my 2nd Omnitrix watch and also my 2nd birthday cake for Paul! Thank you Andrea!! I wanted to put a small LED light on the top in the centre of the watch, but was warned against going overboard by my ever-so-$-consciencious husband! Next time for sure and I'll be sure to include it in my quote price so I won't get into trouble with him!
The ipod touch cake might be my new fave! It was definately a labour of love - much like my Harry Potter potion's book. Since I didn't know the exact apps that the birthday boy had on his ipod, I researched a bit and was able to create a custom screen for a 14yr old. Then I thought I might hand-paint them but when I looked a bit closer, I realized that lots of the apps have dark backgrounds so painting would be difficult. So off to cutting the tiniest little bits of fondant to make every app as accurate as possible! You keen eyes will notice that I did forget one thing - when I was piping the final details on the apps (like Sunday on the calendar and Call of Duty), I forgot to paint the symbols on the calculator! Crap!! Kyle's mom LOVED the cake - he seemed as excited as a 14yr old boy is going to get over a cake! Thanks to both Kyle & Corie for letting me be a part of the day!
This week in cake: a small & low-key wedding cake for Friday and then a big celebration cake for our church's Garden party on Sunday! Trying to spend my day out of the kitchen (been cleaning since I woke up) but I might just have to bang off a few carrot cakes while the sun is NOT shining!
Thanks for looking everyone!
Cheers!
