The cake!

 Just a quick post this morning, as I'm finishing up the last few small things I need to do before my friends come over this afternoon. I commissioned a birthday cake from a talented woman I know who's a self-taught baker and trying to establish her own small business. I decided I wanted a yellow layer cake with chocolate icing, and as for decorations, I told her to "make it a nature theme, maybe with flowers, bugs, grass, etc., and just be creative and surprise me". This is what she came up with......




Isn't it gorgeous?!?! I think she did a fantastic job! It's almost too pretty to cut. :)


Here's a link to Jess's Instagram with some more examples of her work if you're interested.

Way too pretty to cut - but I hope it tastes even better. The mushrooms are very clever touch I think.

That's gorgeous! My daughter in law has just started making the most fantastical cakes. I said, "How on earth did you learn to do this." The answer came, "You Tube." These cake decorators are amazing.

Steve Reed said...

That's beautiful! At least you've documented it photographically. I'm sure it will taste amazing too, even the bugs. :)

I'm so impressed with this woman! She's entirely self-taught. :)

Jennifer said...

It was very tasty. Hard to go wrong with yellow layers and chocolate icing!

Jennifer said...

It was very tasty! I thought the same as you...at least it was documented with lots of pictures!

Jennifer said...

You can learn to do almost anything with the help of YouTube!

Jennifer said...

It made me so happy when she sent me the pictures of it!

Jennifer said...

The mushrooms were my favorite part! They look like those magic mushrooms that grow in the far north! :)

Jennifer said...

A teacher friend from work said "It suits you to a tea!" Lol.

Jennifer said...

I think she's getting more orders than she can comfortably fill at the moment, given that she has a full time job elsewhere!

Jennifer said...

It tasted very good!

Jennifer said...

She really is. Not just with cakes, either!

Jennifer said...

That was actually her kitchen in these photos! :) I hope she DOES have huge success...she's a good egg and deserves it!

Jennifer said...

The small details are the best! There's even moss on one side!

Jennifer said...

When I told her the cake was too pretty to cut, she said, "No, cakes are meant to be eaten!" and I do agree with her!

Jennifer said...

We had a good time together, but it was tiring to me. We're all out of the habit of socializing!

Jennifer said...

I really, really did. And Jess is a good woman so I was happy to support her side business, too!

Jennifer said...

I was so pleased with it!

Doc said...

Amazing work. My ability is limited to putting a sloppy layer of frosting on graham crackers for the grandkids.

nick said...
