I am so glad I am doing a practice run of my purse cake.  I am following a video tutorial (using my own pattern), and that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I used my chocolate cake recipe and have…Continue

I know Linda, after I quickly said NO to the customer, but promised her to look for someone to do it for her granddaughter ...I'm having second thoughts...I'm found myself looking to put all of your ideas into a cake...lol

Great news Magdalena - children are so resilient are they?  Bet that fairy castle is going to be one of the best you have ever done.  And I see no reason why you shouldn't attempt a circus themed cake - you're bound to do it amazingly!

Thank you Katy, for the vote of confidence, but it is  Sandra I. Vazquez Lossiseroni who is doing the circus cake. I am just doing a very plain old fashioned toolbox. That is for the 16th. but this week I'm on the castle and a bee cake.I should actually tell you all how sweet the bee idea is. The ladies husband's nickname is Buzz, it's her birthday but he is abroad, so he got a friend of hers to organize a surprise party for her. He insisted on a bee cake and wanted a note to be delivered with it. It reads something like this: " I know I can't be with you on your birthday so I surrounded  you with people who also love you. I want you to have a wonderful birthday and to know I love you very much. Happy birthday, your Buzz. Isn't that sweet?

lol Magdalena - I know haha.  I was trying to do too much catching up at once and got all confused! (Senior moment....). I've been away from emails for a couple of days and you all have been so busy........  I love the Bee thing, what a great idea from him and what a super guy.

Sandra I agree with everyone. You can do it. Go girl! Do not let anything ever hold you back. You have beautiful flair and style in your creations and even if it is a circus cake it can also have that. Can't wait to see it!

Comment by Sandra I. Vazquez Lossiseroni on September 5, 2012 at 9:52am

Thank you Magdalena, and YES, it is such a sweet note going with the Bee Cake for Buzz. (it sound all so funny)

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else out there in cake world as sleep deprived as I am on the weekends? Ugh!! It seems like I'm up until 4:00-5:00 am every Friday night/Saturday morning! I long for sleep! It probably doesn't help that I have a rambunctious toddler so it's easier to work after he's down. :)
