This past weekend was a busy one, two cake orders one for an anniversary cake and one for a birthday cake.
This birthday cake was a Vikings cake for someone. I am in no way shape or form an artist. Sculpting? nope! Fondant and I do not get along! So I went to the store and got an edible image printed. I did my research on how to get it put on and everything else so I felt pretty good about it. I didn't have to attempt to make a viking out of fondant and it would look great!
And then it went on purple icing
And it turned pink
I was livid. I was cursing (in my brain of course so that my two children couldn't hear it) and trying not to cry. I had been so excited about it and it looked terrible.
The client still loved it, I made her some cupcakes as well because I felt so bad. But that was a not so pleasant learning experience for me.
This cake was for someone's 25th wedding anniversary. They had never had a wedding cake and this was what they asked for. While I was not perfectly happy with this cake I felt a lot better about it than the previous one. The client, again, loved it and was so happy and in the end that is all that matters.
It was a rough weekend baking wise. A few times I felt like hanging up my apron and calling it quits. But in the end I love to bake and I will continue to. Maybe just more for my kids less for everyone else we'll see.
