Eek...if I wasnt nervous before I am for sure nervous now!

I got a order a couple weeks ago for a Jimmy Choo shoe box cake with a pair of shoes on it... (it was my friends mom that was ordering it for a suprise party for her best friend)...fine i havent done a shoe before but figure i can give it a try, so I try it and they came out pretty good but the strapes we not very even. So last night I re-did the shoes because i want 100% happy with them..so this cake is so tomorrow and I just spoke with my girlfriends mother and she proceed's to tell me how much buisness I could get from this cake because the lady its for...her and her husband own a company party works. apparently they did Miley Cyru's sweet 16 birthday.......eeekk

I am definatly going to have to re-watch my sugarshack boxes and bows dvd again before i complete this cake!!

Anywho just had to vent my nervousness ... I might have some question's later once i get started...

I once had an aquatints(sp?) who always said something like this about 'famous' people:

"Their XXXX smells the same as yours and mine!"

Don't let celebrity throw you. Just do your very, very best and be happy with it.

Hi I love this! You did a great job... quick question though isn't forty spelled this way(and not fourty)? Just checking ...I know how special this is for you. Great job again. I know she will love it, and hopefully you will get tons of orders from it. thumbs_up.gif

I think Julia 53 is right - "FORTY" not "FOURTY". Just looked it up in Websters. I hope you can change it without much problem.

I have time to fix it once I am home!!! Holy Moly that was a close one!! What would I do without you guys!?

P.S: Thank you so much on the comments about it icon_biggrin.gif, I had made another pair of shoes as a practise one but the color came out wrong.

icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif They loved it! After I delivered the cake I could hardly get out of the room and people were coming up to me asking questions and for a buisness card. The as for the owners of Partyworks, they said it was awesome and they couldnt believe I had only been doing this for 7months and they asked for a buisness card icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

Anyway thanks everyone for the comments and support!! icon_biggrin.gif
