so i ordered sugar flowers for this cake. the bride chose it from the pictures, trying to keep costs down by ordering instead of making them. the cake was for a friend of a friend. i didn't bother to look at them until the week of the wedding cake and notice there was a big color difference. it was less purple than the picture. so i thought maybe dusting them would fix it. that didn't work. i thought all was lost until i remembered an ace of cakes episode where they were painting a design on a cake. so i tried it with the flowers. it worked. i made it more purple. as you will see below.
the the hardest thing about this cake was matching the fondant ribbon against the colors she gave me. in the end, i looked like i killed something pink and purple with my bare hands. the delivering the cake wasn't all that fun either. not only did i have to drive like an old lady for an hour but i had to deliver it to the restaurant that is in competition with my family's. i noticed that restaurant has this weird smelly old moldy scent that hits you as soon as walk into the door. and the people there weren't really helpful when i got there either. the owner just told me to put the cake there. there was through a maze of tables, across the dance floor to the stage. that was until the wife came up and said why don't you drive around to that door which is next to the stage and bring in the cake that way. wow, that was nice of her. so i did just that, did she send someone to open the door for me...of course not. so i had to walk back and open the door myself. and the whole time i was thinking...really, people like this restaurant more than my family's? so this is what the cake looked like.
