I already had a lot on my plate with Anna Maria and Sean's wedding, but when I got an email from my first bride asking for a baby shower cake, I couldn't resist! Not only was it a chance to catch up and say hello, but also to welcome a new life with many birthdays to come! I love that this job lets me start and build relationships with people so that I get to enjoy all the happy milestones in their lives. From weddings, to baby showers, then birthdays and who knows, maybe one day a second generation of weddings! That has to be my new favourite part of this job. For the cake, my client raved about how everyone loved the wedding cake so she asked for cupcakes with the same flavour combinations as her wedding cake - chocolate and mocha. The cake is a vanilla cake with yellow buttercream (we don't know what the baby is yet). This particular client isn't a fan of fondant, so this cake (like her wedding cake) had to be decorated in buttercream (which I find more challenging). The baby bottle accents are fondant, and were made by my assistant.
