The Challenge of my life!!
Hi Guys:
If you check my profile it will show that I am an amatuer cake decorator. I did my first wedding cake just about a year ago with no training. I took formal classes in late September. At that time I knew I had 2 wedding cakes (3-tiered each) for delivery on 16 Oct. Then 2 weeks a ago my friends announced their wedding date...you guessed it 16 Oct....and guess who they asked to do the cake...O yes me!...and what did I do...I accepted!!!!...so now it's 3 CAKES!!!!! for the same day.....
2 cakes were fondant and the 2 wks notice cake should have been covered in modeling chocolate...that didn't work out...so I had to go out and get Ivory fondant on friday along with other things to do the cake...I lost so much time...nerves were now getting the better of me...I have been somewhat sick...and all in all friday was a long day/night...no sleep!...then came Saturday morning...cakes still didn'tt have fondant on them...had to tell nerves to get lost cuz I don't want any unhappy brides on my hand...and I worked like crazy to get everything done. I called in the troops, my mom was here, neighbour (friend), my painter...anyone that I could find to help me out...and we pulled it off...
Every bride was happy with their cake...I delivered 2 cakes before guests arrived and my friends cake just as the guests were arriving. luckily for me it was an outdoor reception and it rained...so the decorators were still working, the cake table was not ready...and it all just worked out. I prayed so much that everything would have been fine....and that was the case.
As I worked on the cakes, I remembered all the great people here that have shared tips with me, they really helped as I did the cakes...I appreciate all of you and the smile that I now wear on my face I do share with you....
Thank you all!...I am so happy right now....but I will not take on 3 wedding cakes for the same day again...not until I have my operations running the way I dream....lol
I must have been crazy...never did 2 wedding cakes for one day..and I took on 3!...O boy....It was a super CHALLENGE!
