Warmup Week

This week was sort of a warmup week, I think....I had no cakes last week so did some housecleaning and various and assorted other things. This week I had several cakes but nothing too labor-intensive. Next week is going to be total BUSY!!!! But...on to posting this weekend's cakes....

First up is actually a replica of a cake I already have in my portfolio....but the customer wanted fewer flowers and to have it slightly more "boyish" so I reduced the amount of flowers and made them more "boy colors"....gave the monkey some bananas....but otherwise its pretty much the same cake. I do like this newer photo better than my original one:

Next was a rehearsal cake and groom's cake combo. The rehearsal dinner cake was just a delicious gourmet chocolate layer cake, poured in ganache, and garnished with bride and groom strawberries. The bride actually messaged me FROM the rehearsal dinner to let me know how delicious it was!

Then, delivered at the same time to a nearby venue, to be stored overnight, was her surprise groom's cake. She got the idea from a Philadelphia Brides magazine from last year, when my Red Sox cap groom's cake was featured in a "Real Wedding" in the magazine. So she decided to surprise HER groom as well!!!! Not only will the cake design surprise him, but the delicious moist pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling inside will surprise him as well!!!

Check back next weekend for two large wedding cakes, a groom's cake, and an extra surprise project!
