ONE OF A KIND

So...this is the one and only cake I will ever make for someone outside of my family. Just FYI. I have always, in the back of my mind, thought I might LOVE to open a little cake shop. Make cakes for other people. I love making cakes and seeing what I can do. Love it. Not so much for other people. All of the sudden I feel so self-conscious and very un-talented. I don't have any sort of technique. I always kind of... wing it. I call it "ghetto" style. Usually I just kind of start out with a blob of cake and make it what I want.

So...here goes.


Yep. I told you. Don't look too close. This was for my sweet cute neighbor friend who just graduated from high school. Her mom asked me to make her graduation cake. Sure...no problem . I was so excited. After a fitful night of "non sleep" and making myself sick....let's just say....fondant and I aren't friends. Nothing a little 2 inch black ribbon won't fix, right? Sorry Codi. I love you anyway!!!




So....that's all she wrote. My professional cake making career began and ended with this!!
