3 Birthday Cakes In 3 Days...... And I Am Sick. Please Help
Decorating By yummymummycakes Updated 3 Sep 2007 , 3:29pm by dmq1298
Ok I have 2 birthday cakes due for Monday. Both girls work for the same company and in the same dept.
One of the girls suggested that I do one cake for the two of them to share. (I really am not a fan of this)
However the CFO has said that he would like to see two cakes, one for each girl. So the CFO wins (despite the fact that he is my darling BF 
)
Do you think I could stack them just to get the look or not?
So I need ideas for two cakes for woman that I know very little about.
The third cake is for a guy (urgh!!!) and the only thing I know about him is that he is not liked at all. So the only suggestions I get from his work collegues is to add arsenic!! The poor thing is going through a divorce at the moment and they are not aware of it.
I know he likes chocolate cake but have no ideas as to his hobbies.
Anyone have any ideas as I need to keep these resonably simple as I have the flu at the moment and feel like c##p at the moment.
Many thanks
Cheryl
Feel better soon!
For the two women, I would actually do 2 separate cakes, but coordinate them somehow- like using the same colors (makes for less time coloring icing, too), or using similar design elements but in different colors.
I actually love it when I have total freedom with the cake design- I look in my favorites here for cakes I've been wanting to try, or start browsing the birthday gallery for new ideas. Just be careful not to take on more than you can handle- you need time to recouperate, too!
for the guy what about a chocolate cake with chocolate bc and then either bc roses out of the choc. or candy clay roses or something..or you could always do the whole choc. dipped strawberries.....but that's time consuming sometimes! But the choc. on choc. flowers and such look VERY masculine IMO
Well, for the girls I would go simple with some roses and like someone else said, try to coordinate the colors. For the guy...I'd do like a german chocolate w/ some choc dipped strawberries on top. That's what i did for my hubby's bday last week. I did a rope boarder in choc. Nothing fancy but he's not a fancy man! So I think it was great for him. He loved it and I enjoyed making for him. Good luck. HTH!
I hope you get to feeling better soon
First of all, I hope you feel better soon. And to help you with an idea for the man's cake. I made a reverse image cake that turned out really cute. You can see it in my pics, but one half was choc bc and the other was white bc, with white roses on the choc and choc on the white. I iced the cake with a lg tip so I could have a straight line, and it really wasn't that much work. I hope that helps some. feel better soon Donna
