So I was having an informal cake consultation today at school with my VP for whom I am making 2 upcoming birthday cakes. His son is quite an interesting young man approaching 13 or 14 (guess I should confirm that before making the cake) who LOVES to bake!! Seriously - Saturday morning he gets up with great excitement and exclaims that he is going to make eclairs that day! And then procedes to make homemade eclairs! I think I should hire this kid as my first official assistant!! So the reason for my "it doesn't take much" title is because the cake was supposed to be for June 11th and it's my 2nd that day and 4th of that week...so the great news is that it is being bumped 2 weeks! YAY! I'm thinking that I need to make (somehow) a Kitchen Aid stand mixer out of cake! What do you think?
The 2nd bday cake is for his Tim Burton obsessed teenage daughter and this too is bumped by a few days so that both cakes are needed for June 24th! Perfect! I can't wait to create a wonderful Tim Burton tribute cake for her with 3 necessary characters: Jack from Nightmare before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and the Mad Hatter!!
That's all for now. Just thought I'd share some little news that made me happy today! This week's cakes - Buzz Lightyear for a 2 yr old and a very last-minute custom yet damaged police cruiser cake (order from my caramel/cabbage-roll loving police officer from last week! Too FUNNY!!) Pics of this past weekend's Garden Party cake coming soon! The wedding cake I did for Friday that kept me up til 2:30am on Thursday pissed me off so much that I didn't even take a picture! Grrr....now kicking myself because I spent so much time on it, and maybe just maybe it might have actually looked better once I had some sleep!
