Very nice job! Your sheet cakes look beautifull too. Do you have a close up of them? What are they made up of?

I baked for like 2 weeks straight to get this weekend accomplished, but I'm almost there. All bride cakes are 3-4 layers per tier, sheets are 2 whole sheet in each (for 2 layer ea). I WISH someone would invent a sheet cake box that is more than !#%^@#^ing 4" deep. *sigh*

I have to go start a 6, 9, 12 for tomorrow (all baked), need to fill and fondant it, then pipe and hand paint a Colette design on it.........ow. My feet hurt, and I can't seem to get the energy to go back in the kitchen.

And I have a house ful of company coming tonight.

Sorry no closeups of anything...nothing that interesting, just plain scrolls on the one. The Celtic design on the others was, uh, best viewed from a distance, lol. It was SUPER hard to pipe and I wasn't thrilled with how it looked up close (of course I'm my own worst critic).

So the sheet cakes are a 2 inch layer, filling, and 2 inch layer? How do you price them? They look like just as much work as your wedding cakes.

I looked at your photos and you seem to be the queen of sharp edges! icon_biggrin.gif Any tips on how you get such nice edges?

Yes, my sheets are two full 2" layers, filling between each, so they're over 4-1/2" tall when done and un-boxable...

I charge them 0.50 cents less per serving than my wedding cake prices, depending on what flavor they get, no less than $2.75 for basic though; they ARE as much work as wedding cakes.

Edges? Ha--they're not as great up close, and I LOVE top borders (whatever happened to those?), but IMBC is my friend, and I just pull the hot spatula across it from the edge towards the middle, and voila--beautiful edges. Don't know why I can't get it with reg BC, icon_confused.gif but I've quit using that stuff anyway...

Have a great weekend everyone...my company all just pulled in, the pizza's here, and I have a fondant Colette cake to finish, will post that tomorrow.

need more caffeine....
