the unbelievable cake

i’ve been looking forward to this post for a quite a while.

why, you ask?

well. here’s the thing. i don’t think that you’ve heard of such a great combination of flavors before. cake flavors that is. more on that in a second.

see. i have the best clients. and i thank each one of them for being so special and unique.

a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. l.o.v.e. i.t. !

patricia contacts me and tells me that she wants a replica of the smallest tier of her wedding cake.

a little background on the lovely patricia: she is a magazine, web and newspaper writer. a tv/radio reporter. a wife. and a mom. oh. and. she just launched her new fabulous website. click here to check it out.

i say, “um uh… what is the occasion?”

she responds, “well. i would like to surprise my husband with the cake on our wedding anniversary.”

my heart pretty much melted. are you kidding me? that’s the best thing i’ve heard all year!

she’s kind of hesitant to tell me what is the cake like.

“okay, patricia. that’s the best present! can we be best friends?!?”

“yeah, our wedding cake was really unique and want to surprise him with it.”

see what i’m saying? she’s not telling me the type of cake yet :)

she tells me that she got married in florida. so i’m now prepared for the cake to be a tropical flavor.

are you ready? because i had no idea !!

“lemon poppy seed cake with coconut cream cheese frosting filled with fresh sliced strawberries and coconut cream cheese” she says.

“haa? say what?”

she bursts in laughter after my reaction – hahaha – it was funny.

“patricia” i say, “that is the most amazing combination of flavors yet!”

i then delivered the cake because she has a baby – that type of baby you see in magazines – yeah, really.

here is her tweet about the cake.

oh. and some pictures, too!

sweet packaging

after several weeks of searching for an earth-friendly packaging – but cool looking – i came across a website that sells kraft boxes for pretty much everything {baking wise} under the sun.

they are: pretty. chic. simple. all i wanted !

i get to the site. and.  of course i proceed to order the boxes right away thinking they’re going to be on time for a few orders i already had lined up.

hmm. well. it was not the case.

the boxes took way tooooo long to arrive.

and some of my lovely clients were given acrylic transparent boxes instead.

you know.  the ones that you see at the grocery store? not. pretty. at. all.

but since i’ve had them, my sweet clients have been able to enjoy their cupcakes in style.

the box can also hold a two-layer six inch cake. convenient. right? :)

which reminds me. the baking cup will also be baking these cakes for any occasion.

more on that later.

i snapped some photos for you to see.
