Which is why when I got to do something exciting at work, I grabbed my camera and jumped at the opportunity to blog about it. I haven't had the chance to do any cake decorating at work yet (though I'm hoping it'll come soon, mise en place is getting a little mundane) but I did get to deliver some cakes. The first two were going to the same hotel, on the same day at the same time...to two different brides. I drive a Toyota Celica (more fondly known as Cecilia, for those who don't know) and although the trunk is relatively spacious in terms of width and depth, it's not really made for super tall cakes. Fortunately, these were pretty small so I didn't have any problems with getting them in my car. No, my problem was with getting the cakes there. It was probably about 100+ degrees in Myrtle Beach at the time so my boss told me to make sure I had the air conditioning cranked to full blast. As soon as I hit the road though, I realized MY CAR WAS OUT OF GAS. Literally, as soon as I got on the highway the gas light came on. And I was following somebody else who was supposed to show me how to do this whole cake delivery thing and I didn't have his number so I just had to keep my fingers crossed that Cecilia had it in her to make it all the way to North Myrtle Beach and keep these cakes cool. I made it there no problem, thankfully, and the brides were very happy with their cakes.
This is what they looked like!
Confetti cake!
I got to do a second cake delivery this past week and I think it was probably the coolest cake I've seen thus far at Croissants...
Pizza and breadsticks! They did different pizza "toppings" using fondant and the parmesean cheese was shaved white chocolate. The breadsticks even came with marinara dipping sauce, a chocolate cupcake with dark red frosting.
Now that I've gotten to spend some time with these kinds of cakes, I'm eager to get to do some decorating of my own!
Bon appetit,
JoAnna
I want some cake now!! :-D Looks like you are having some fun adventures this summer! Miss you!
