The Green Cake!


So I have THE sweetest new coworker! She just moved to Birmingham and needed a cake to take to a birthday party. Her request was green cake with green dots and a green bow.

Sounds simple enough...

Until you and your cake makin' friend make about a hundred batches of green fondant trying to get the right shades. Okay so maybe just three. Still... there was a stressful moment there when we nearly cried. Well, maybe more like I almost cried. Laura is the level headed one. This is my new coworker after all! What if she hated it? What if she then decided she hated ME because of her RUINED cake? Thank goodness for Laura. She shook me and said "GET A GRIP, WOMAN." Maybe she didn't shake me when I think about it. Oh who knows.

To make a long, inaccurately remembered story short, I gave the cake to my coworker, and she loved it! YAY!

Happy 1st Birthday, Charlie!

When Laura and I were asked to create a cake for Charlie's 1st birthday party, we were THRILLED! Charlie's mommy suggested that we base the cake on the invitation to the party... it had to be one of the sweetest invitations EVER! Creating this fun shape was a blast! We especially enjoyed making the little streamers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE! We hope you enjoyed your big day... and your FIRST cake!
