Starting to get orders

I'm very excited!!!

I've started getting paid orders. I had 3 cakes this last weekend and they all proved to be a hit. It's nice to get great feedback and even nicer when you get enquiries from people who saw and ate your cake.

I made a snake cake for a friends son. Never made a snake cake before and I have to admit the face was a challenge but I think I pulled it off. I tried to re-create the scaley skin my using the #104 tip. My god it took forever to finish but it was well worth it!!

Also made an Elmo cake for a 1st Birthday using the pattern transfer technique... finally my lessons are paying off!!

Lastly I made my nephew a Hawthorn AFL club inspired cake. Was very delicious.

I love experimenting with fillings. Chocolate cake can get a bit boring after you have churned out several hundred. So I made a nice lemon cake and filled it with passionfruit infused cream cheese filling. YUMMO!!! It proved a hit with everyone, including my very fussy husband.

So this week I have 2 orders, a chocolate bow cake and a birthday cake for two 12 year old girls who love horses. Cant wait to decorate these!

I will try and post the pics of these cakes at some stage. I'm still learning the whole posting process!

happy caking everyone!
