Day one: Wednesday, I baked 3 of the cakes, 10,8 and 6 inch..I froze them, just to see how it would work. I've had a lot of people tell me that freezing cakes makes them super moist.. but, I didn't get to taste the cake after it had been frozen, but the client and the party enjoyed it. =) So for my next cake(s), I will be freezing them, it saves a lot of time making the cakes in advance. I also made some of the flowers that day, to see how they turned out so I could make adjustments. Day two. Thursday.. I made the other cakes, 10,8 and 6 inch again.. then two 12x18 cakes. . that took 50 cups of batter. .a lot..lol. then I made the fondant, 3 batches of it. Such a messy thing but always turns out great. I filmed me making the fondant.. so I will be posting that later. . Also made the rest of the flowers.. filmed that as well. Such an easy flower to make. I'm not quite sure if it has a name.but it's pretty..=)
Then day 3. Friday. . The most work was this day. Made God knows how many batches of butter cream, and creamchesse filling. . I frosted each tier, covered with fondant. and the decorated with the flowers. Doesn't sound like much.but it sure was =) Then the sheet cake was a little bit of a challenge, but managed well to get that covered with fondant. . I made the "40" cake topper out of chocolate. Printed out a 40 and layed wax paper over it. and just filled it in with chocolate. I've done this b4 with success, but my client called yesterday and said that it fell off before they got to the party. :( which was the only thing that went wrong. I'm not quite sure what happened, either a bump, to hot in the car, or I just didn't secure it enough. So next time I will make it thicker. .I think that will help =)
Then Saturday, my half day, I got up early before she came to pick up the cake, and wrote on the sheet cake and added some more flowers I made the previous day. Also added some leafs to go along with the flowers.
Over all, after 3 and a half days of working on the cakes I have to say I am pretty happy with how they turned out =)
