Decorating By Euphoriabakery Updated 26 May 2006 , 3:09pm by Euphoriabakery
I just got a request for a 10 inch square cake for tomorrow. It is to be iced in whipped cream icing. The cake is for a 20 something guy. His mom ordered the cake. Doesn't want any writing. Wants lots of decor. She said flowers of all colors or no flowers and do something else. Whatever I think would be best, but not too girly. I am at a loss for ideas and have to decorate this cake by tomorrow afternoon! Any help is appreciated!
How about the square cake, whipped icing, with maybe a little dark ganache down the sides & choc covered strawberries on top?? That wouldn't be too girly & wouldn't take alot of time either.
something like this...pinkbunny did this one:

How about "Tools".. Does he like Golf ? or anything Sporty. 
how about just a bunch of square - in a checkers pattern or something like that - goodluck
I like the checkered idea. Maybe I could do diamnd shapes in a checkerboard pattern with flowers on top. I don't know anything about the guy the cake is for so that makes it difficult. Strawberries are out because the cake is white with rasberry filling, I don't think strawberries and chocoalte would go. Any other ideas out there?
dandelion- I didn't mean that Strawberries and chocolate didn't go together, what I meant was that neither go with white cake with rasberry filling. I bet I could do fresh rasberries dipped in white chocolate though? What do you think?
Well, I just finished the cake! I didn't really go with any of the designs above, but thought you all might want to see what I came up with. All of your ideas really did get my creative juices flowing! I don't know how masculine it is, but she did say she wanted flowers. I thought the stripes and the maroon color added a little more masculinity to the cake. Anyhoo - Thanks a bunch everyone! And now I will go collapse into bed for a couple hours, at least until one of my kids wakes up!LOL
It looks GREAT!!! Nice job. They'll both be very pleased
