BABY SHOWER CAKE - The Conclusion!

I had a lovely message from my customer who ordered the coloured sponge which I blogged about the other day. 

He was totally and utterly over the moon with the cake -

I just wanted to email to say that the cake was perfect.  It was absolutely delicious – most people wanted seconds!! 

It was a nice surprise – worked really well – as the colour didn’t transfer onto the knife, so the cuts came out clean – meaning we had to wait to actually pull the slice out to find out – which kept the surprise right up to the last moment.

We didn’t take pictures as we were cutting, but a few of my friends did – so if I see any really good ones, I will forward.  I attach one that I have seen already – but it’s not the best!!

Thanks for everything – obviously the cake was the main part of our party – and it was perfect.  I would defiantly recommend you again – and I will be in contact in about 6 months for the christening cake (and seeing the job you did on the Yoda cake – probably for many birthdays to come!!)

I think it's fair to say that this is a pretty good testimonial!

So, should you need to colour a sponge, make sure that you use the SugarFlair Paste.  It works wonderfully well.

 

YODA!!!! Et al from this week!

Well, it's been the end of a busy week here in Wish Cakes' kitchen.  With 5 cakes this week and only me doing it, plus a poorly daughter in tow, it's been a bit of busy one.

But, that said, I'm pretty pleased with the results of each cake. Yoda, A present with a sugar shoe and mirror compact, a cricket themed cake, a baby shower cake, and a cake to celebrate my Aunt and Uncle's 25th Wedding Anniversary.

I called up my Aunt a couple of days ago and can't believe that they have been married for 25 years!  It seems like yesterday that I was in a puff ball (very 80's) dress with my lovely Deidre Barlow glasses doing my duties as her bridesmaid, along with my cousin, her daughter.

She pointed out to me that she was the same age as I am now when she got married, and it just seems unbelievable and quite scary.  So, to celebrate such an occasion I have created her a lovely cake.  I can't post the photo on here yet, as she may well read this, but once Sunday has come and gone, it will be posted for all to see.

I'm hoping that I will have 5 very happy customers.......let's see when they collect them tomorrow!
