My cake goal!

Bridal Shower July 2, 2011

So I said there were two special cakes and here is the second one. Like the golf cake I had built in my head an idea, an idea of a cake that had to be truly special. It needed to be so special because it was for one of the most important girls, well women, in my life, my niece. More like my baby sister she has grown up beside me, through ups and downs and some of the best memories I have. Now I am preparing to stand beside her as her maid of honor at one of the most important events in her life her wedding day.
The cake for her bridal shower needed to be unique and her style. I knew I wanted to add flowers but I wanted to try something new.
"My cake goal" was to paint on a cake with luster dust as I see every major bakery do on TV. I found what I needed when I was in Santa Rosa and I was like a kid in a candy store. So much cake stuff!!! I could've spent hours there. The women there thankfully shared in my joy and helped me find what I needed.
I began this cake at 11:30 pm and finished at 6:13 am. I was determined to keep this cake a secret and create as I moved along. Amazingly with that little of sleep i could actually function and create. A 6'' funfetti cake atop a 8'' strawberry cake, as requested by the bride. I could go on for days about all things that took place that night/morning and how there was almost only one cake but I won't. All I need to say is that I accomplished my goal and that at 6 a.m. when I stepped back and looked at my vision in real life, I was proud. I knew I did good and I knew I deserved the next two hours of sleep that I got. LOL.
