jekyll and hyde cake

a bride wanted a chocolate ganache covered cake with flowers.  she sent pictures of fondant flowers and buttercream flowers but wanted them in pink.  i ended up sending the bride and groom a tasting cake with both designs on it, fondant on one side and buttercream on the other. they liked the design of the tasting cake that they wanted to keep both sides.  so it ended up being a jekyll and hyde cake.  

i found out later that the cake had a sad story behind it.  it was for a rush wedding because the bride's mother was very sick and the couple wanted to get married before her mother past away.  unfortunately, her mother past a week before the wedding.  i felt so sad after i heard the story and this is why i will never forget this cake.

tp cake

the bride wanted this paisley dot print all over the cake.  it kinda of made it look like toilet paper...doesn't it?  it think i would have looked better if the cake wasn't all in white.  the dots took hours to do.  my hand hurt like hell after words.   i used a paisley cutter to emboss the shape on to the fondant and then went back with the embosser stick to make each dot. 

the all see eye cake

i was given this card and asked to put four of them on the cake and add flowers.  i thought, really?  okay...this should be interesting.  

 

it was for her daughter's birthday.  

and this is how the cake turned out.
