I've been "hired" to make a cake this week! I put it in quotes because it's still through friends of the family, and I still feel like they're doing me the favor. Kind of like how Cole "helps" rake the leaves by standing with his 4ft plastic rake and babbling. But in any event, I'm getting $ to make a yummy 2 tiered 21st bday cake, and I'm totally anxious about it. The last tiered cake I made got all squished down and lopsided, so this time I'm going to try to use dowels to support it. Also, the very most recent cake I made started falling apart before it made it to its destination. It's also supposed to be a martini glass theme, and I can't draw a good looking martini glass to save my life. (They all look like something out of a geometry or astrology lesson.)
So, I'm a bit nervous. It's not like if I mess up I can just make another one, because between making my own frosting and baking each cake separately, I have to really budget my time. (Cole doesn't like not being paid attention to, either, so I have to do this between the TV babysitter, nap time, and alone time with hubby.) I'm excited by the picture I have of it in my mind, but I'm curious what the real image will be. Plus, the woman is picking it up and I'm so afraid of getting a call, "The ______ fell off the cake/fell over/smushed!" Maybe I will make 2, just in case, and have the girls over for a martini girl's night in...
