so debbie called and asked for a tennis cake. i thought cool, tennis court with rackets and tennis balls and a net. so i put it together and it looked off...i wasn't completely happy with it. but i figured it was fine so i sprayed a pearl sheen and was ready to box.
i turn around and i realized...oh crap there is a net that i totally forgot about. that means i need to change the cake since the "l" was on the net line. but i already sprayed the pearl sheen. so i move some of the letters insert the net and spray the pearl sheen again. you can kind of see where the letters once were but the cake looked much better.
this wedding cake was for a couple that had a small wedding. because of the number of people they had to pay the minimum amount for a wedding cake. so i advised them to go all out and get fondant. they wanted to use a flower off their invitation. the color fondant was the color of their napkins. now i usually do buttercream cakes. i rarely get an opportunity to fondant cakes. it was a pain but it looks okay...thanks to the ribbon. the fondant traps air bubbles...i need to learn how to get rid of the bubbles that the cake produces so that i can have a perfect fondant cake. :) i think the cake kind of looks wintery to me. the flowers look like snowflakes.
this cakes was from a picture of a bridal magazine. the bride and groom wanted a small wedding cake to cut. fondant again...those air bubbles kill! but i think this cake looks awesome. i tried white chocolate fondant that says you roll it thin...it didn't work for me. but then again i am a novice. i think after more practice i will be ready for the white chocolate fondant.
