We all have gotten some interesting, different requests. What is the weirest one you got and how did you handle the request? (Did you do it? Stir the customer to a different look? etcf)
I've had several requests for the TaghMahall (Yeah I know that's not spelled right but most should know what I mean) LOL The same couple also asked me where they might find an elephant for the goom to ride in on (in northern IN)!
Oh my great good gracious, @kakeladi ! I presume you provided the elephant???
I rarely sell cakes, but my strangest (and I guess it is not that strange) request was for a wedding cake in navy blue with a dragon on it. That was the complete extent of the request. After discussing with both the bride and groom, the is what I made for them and they were ascetic.
Yikes. I actually got 1 a couple of weeks ago and they wanted Trumps profile in front of an american flag with gold bars on the side. This was for a child also!!! I thought someone was pranking me but they were dead serious.
The saggy boob cake by far! Everyone loved it tho! I would be happy to post a pic as it is hysterical but I'm not sure if it is "allowable" as some people might consider it obscene.
@SandraSmiley it is weird for a wedding cake but that cake is awesome!!!!!!!! That dragon
wow
I don't sell cakes but I have to comment because that dragon cake is spectacular!
Thank you both so much, @aldonza and @Coffeelover77 ! The couple didn't really have much of an idea what they wanted - a dragon and navy blue, so the design was left pretty much up to me. As it turned out, I really enjoyed making it, once I got all that darned fondant colored and kneaded. The Chinese writing is their names and the double happiness symbol is commonly used at Chinese weddings. The dragon represents the masculine and the phoenix the feminine. Here is a better picture of the dragon.
I dont think that dragon is weird at all for a Chinese wedding & it is absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic job!
Thank you, @Kerryleigh ! Had the couple been Chinese, I would have thought nothing of it, but they were more of the redneck variety (not throwing stones because I am from the same local, haha). I think they were more intrigued by fantasy dragons, of the video game sort. The Chinese spin was my idea to give it a bit of class. Fortunately, they loved it.
Thanks, @aldonza ! While sugar art is the only sculpting I've ever done, I studied Fine Arts in college and have been drawing and painting all of my life. It helps tremendously with cake decorating and sugar art.
