I had a bride contact me for a tasting of my cakes. She was interested in German Chocolate with Chocolate icing and french vanilla. She has a hectic schedule so i offered to drop them off to her. Let her taste (i thought this would make her more comfortable since I was not there-no pressure) Well i was not sure how i would package it to look its best with out giving a whole cake. So i did a search on cc and got alot of info. Here is what i did

I baked a 9" round of each flavor. Filled, sliced, took 1 slice from each cake and wrapped and froze the rest. I then iced the cake slice with a star tip and placed the slice in a pretty box (from the dollar store)and a plain white gift bag. I am pleased with the presentation. I will drop off to her today. Wish me luck.
I have attached pics of the final presentation. Hope this helps anyone else who needs info.

Wow, great presentation, to know that you go into that much detail for a tasting will make her quite confident that you will do great on the whole cake! Awesome!

What a wonderful idea. thanks for sharing and the tip decorating is a perfect touch.

Thanks for the pictures. I hope you get the job. That was a great idea. CC help out a lot.

Looks beautiful. If I were the Bride, I would definitely be impressed. Good luck and let us know what happens!

SweetCenterpieces,
