Two months ago I was asked to quote on an engagement
cake. I sent samples along with the
quote and was promptly given the job of making a three tiered cake, draped with
fondant and decorated with pink roses.
Having never draped a cake before, I was quite excited to
teach myself a new skill. This past
weekend was the delivery date and so the task began. First step was obviously baking the cakes - the
bottom tier is carrot cake, the middle is red velvet and the top tier is lemon
cake. Once the baking was done, the fun
began.
I started with the smallest tier and after trying various
techniques I finally settled on one that was worked for me. Once I mastered it, it was fairly simple,
although time consuming. The time was
well spent because I LOVED the end product!
