Oh my goodness... I cannot believe I did not post this picture!
In August 2013, last summer, I did my first wedding cake!
It was a 3 tier ALL buttercream cake - 3 different flavours.
Top and bottom tiers in rosette design and the middle was plain. Smooth buttercream.
I was very happy with how it turned out! I am so happy that middle tier came out as smooth as it did!
Well... for anyone who knows me... knows that I am a GoodLife junkie... I LOVE the GoodLife and as a favourite instructor calls us... the GoodLife family. It is kind of like a family... you see these same people 4-5 times per week. We sweat together, we grunt together, we cry together... it's family.
But recently, my GoodLife family has been distant... I have been suffering through a recent diagnosis of Patella Tracking Disorder... yuppers... my kneecaps don't like to stay "on track" and this causes quite a bit of pain and swelling... oh and clicking and grinding too!
So a week off the GoodLife and trip to the doctor's office and the medical imaging place to get some x-rays. I am still waiting on the result of the X-rays to determine the next steps to deal with this...
But before all this came about a few weeks ago, I had already taken on 2 new cake orders for this past weekend.
10 hours on my feet Saturday making this cake...
and low and behold... later that night... I could barely walk :(
But in the end, my client loved the cake so it is absolutely well worth the day of pain :)
The following day... after the night of pain, I had to make another cake for a client to pick up on Monday. This one didn't take as long... but after the whole weekend... needless to say I was not back to my GoodLife family on Monday as planned.
I LOVED making this cake... it was a sewing themed cake and I messaged the cake with "Thank you sew much". This cake was for a client and some friends who wanted to thank another friend who had been teaching them how to sew. And let's not forget that this cake was also my favourite flavour... vanilla bean cake with vanilla bean buttercream and my homemade raspberry sauce... yummm... soooooo good!
I loved how the measuring tape around the bottom turned out. Who knew edible markers worked so well... I used them on the top cake too!
