AVA'S 1st BIRTHDAY CANDYLAND CAKE!

Aloha!
Happy Monday everyone!
I know its not to happy for some people on the east coast. My family sent me tons of pictures of all the snow they got overnight. Some areas had almost a foot of snow. BURR!!! And I am complaining on how cold I am here!

Anyway, February was an extremely busy month for us. I think the busiest I have ever had. I had events everyday last week to end it with 6 events over the weekend. So with this coming week we will be posting a lot of those cakes. I wanted to start off with this cake first because Nick took charge on this cake and made it by himself while I worked on other cakes.

Miriam contacted me 2 weeks ago about 2 cakes. One was her anniversary cake. And the other for her Daughter's 1st birthday cake. Miriam celebrated her 2nd wedding anniversary on Wednesday and her daughters birthday on Tuesday but they had Ava'a birthday party on Saturday. She wanted a 3 tier Topsy Turvy cake with the candy land theme. She saw our other 2 blogs recently about candy land themed cakes and she wanted the same cake. but to make her cake different we decided instead of separating them we would stack them.

The only request she had was that we use pink and lots of candy. She also picked our pineapple coconut, chocolate praline, and strawberry shortcake flavors.

Nick handcrafted all the stars and candy from sugar and all was completely edible. He did an awesome job on this cake. And proof was when we showed up to deliver it. Miriam was so surprised and excited to see this cake. Her and her husband could not stop talking about it. It was awesome. Not only because we gave them an amazing cake but because I knew that Nick made it almost by himself. His work is almost flawless. He has some great ideas and I am proud that I have someone I completely trust to work with and to share life with.

Miriam was quick to get back with me about her cake and this is what she e-mailed me yesterday.

Hi Vikki!
I just wanted to let you know that the cake was a HIT! Everyone could not stop raving about it. I was swamped with a lot of questions like, "who made it?" and "can we eat everything on that cake?". I passed out all of the business cards you gave me. They wanted to know if you had a website. I enjoyed/loved talking about your cakes. A relative of mine wanted that cake for her sweet 16...and she's only 12 years old. There were definitely a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" Some thought the cake was fake and was just a display! One more thing, the cake tasted SOOO good. Everyone loved it! Of course I had all three flavors....I just wanted to let you know that you and Nick did a great job! You guys are awesome. I hope you guys had a great weekend!
Miriam

E-mails like this are so awesome. they make me feel so good. It was a pleasure to be able to share in Ava's 1st Birthday.

Stay tuned tomorrow for 2 more cakes that Nick made on his own. Have a great day!
