Leah, your office sounds SO PURDEEEE! Congrats my dear 
This is my 1st Friday night. I just finished a couple days of a turkey cake for work.. ha ha we called it the over cooked one because I airbrushed it too dark... then the preschool on that looked just right.. the lil kids were like yummy turkey and I said its cake and they said huh? The third cake was a soccer ball cake and field for my friends kid first soccer party. She brought me a thank you are you ready for this.... cupcake shaped bandaids in a cute tin, cake tissues and a necklace she made me with sprinkles... then when I thought it was her to pick up the cake the door knocked and it was my son on a suprise trip home from college talk about a halmark moment! Hope you all are having a great night
I don't know how some of you do this...6 cakes, then 5 more, then cupcakes? Good Lord, you must never sleep. I don't get much sleep though. This is my 2nd time on Friday night. I finished for tonight. Finished the cupcakes and cheesecake. Have 3 baby shower cakes for tomorrow and Sunday. I'm already dreading the alarm clock. Good night!
Ok so I just did a test stacking of my tiers. The top four are dummies and the bottom is real cake.
But the bottom one isn't as tall as the stupid dummies. My hubby said it didn't look bad but I'm scared they'll want their money back or something.
That's where 1/2 inch foam core as your base can help. I do that when I want a super tall tier.
I'm such an idiot! Oh well. We'll see if its super noticable when I deliver it.
Nite Nite everyone!
Well, I looked for you all last night, but I was exhausted from the day, so I hit the pillows early.
Yesterday was my birthday. My son's girlfriend bought me the Ace of Cakes book. Although some of the comments I've read on the book were negative, as people were expecting a how-to book, I found it to bring new intimacy between the AoC staff and myself. I'm a fan of biographies and biographical material, so for them to share their past and their passion brought me closer to my own passion for what I do.
As for cake, here's a pic of the baby shower cake I did for my niece. Her color choices were pink and brown, which challenged me, as I didn't want to do the standard stripes and dots with deely-bobbers hanging off wires. I ended up doing what I call the Tub of Flowers. Instead of a flower pot, I decided to mimic a crockery planter. The amount of flowers in the tub represents the number grandchild this one will be for my sister - 16. Personally, I think it would have been lacking if I had less flowers in there.
Enjoy!

Sweet Pea..I think it's gorgeous! Your hands must be tired after all that piping!
For me Friday night was spent making my husbands golf bag birthday cake...you can see it now in my photos. He loved it, as did our party guests.
Have you all noticed how high the bar has been set for family cakes now that you are a decorator?? LOL!
