Hi All-
I had an order to do for a 70th b'day cake for one of my best customers that was to originally be picked up today. Here in the NorthEast we got hit with yet anther big storm so the customer called me late Thurs night and asked if I could possibly have it ready by noon yesterday. Of course, I said "yes, sure I can do it" Well..... what a fool I was!! Ever just have one of those days where everything you touch falls apart?? Mine included... one of the layers splitting in half (luckily I was able to "glue" it back together, I dropped the mixing bowl with a whole batch of triple chocolate fudge icing on the floor
, the leprechan BCT that I made 2 of (just in case one didn't work) BOTH of them broke and I had to start all over again
Anyway, to end this rant... I finally finished the cake (not by noon though) and had to drive through the snow storm to deliver it (white knuckling it the whole way, I hate to drive in the snow) Long story short..... it was a disaster BUT... the customer ended up loving it and gave me a $10 tip!!
I personally don't like the cake, but the customer is the one that counts I guess. Thanks for letting me share!Here's the finished product
I love your cake! Great idea using the petal pan shape
Sorry for the hastle when making it, because it really looks great!
It's cute! I don't see anything wrong with it. Your BCT is great. I tried a FBCT once and it worked the 1st time and never again. I really wish I could get it right.
p.s. driving in snow makes me nervous too ![]()
It does look great. I will send warm thoughts and hopeful weather your way. I can sypmathize though I used to live in the Adirondacks but I am now a Floridian (11 years to thaw).
I had a day where nothing went right yesterday also. Fortunately, after much stress, I got my cake finished and delivered in time!
BTW, I think the cake is great. Love the colours of the rainbow!!!!
I like it! But I can relate to days like those..ugh. And I hate driving in the snow too!
