I'm finally updating my blog it's been a while...anyways a lot has happened since last time, Sam's back home, and there was the Sharing Hope Benefit Concert that was a success and a lot of fun. I quit the Saint Germain job because I'm leaving in a week to Asia!!! Man it is going to be the first time traveling that long with a bunch of friends and with Paul... i can't wait!! But before I leave will also be doing one more wedding cake this summer for Andrea's sister Lien and her fiance Craig. I should be starting right now but I guess I wanted to blog about my last cake before my next.Their wedding is this Friday so come back and see my next blog about that cake.. I'm sure there will be some sort of cake story LOL
There is an interesting story about this sushi cake.. At first when Tessa asked if i could make a cake for Aaron I said i couldn't because I was really busy with work but then for some odd reason I got the friday before his birthday off . it was really a God thing when things just work out cuz i've been working on friday's for the whole summer. The idea of the sushi cake came about at Shauna's Party. I remembered the week before the cake at Isaac's birthday was a Hamburger from T&T so I asked Tess and Elaine what was Aaron's favourite food..and of course it was sushi! This was another group effort cake where Tess, Gloria, and Elaine helped with the fondant work. Ya!
So inside is a chocolate cake.. we brushed the white fondant with a little coffee syrup to make it look like wood.. for the sushi pieces we cut out rounds of cake and covered it with fondant..we used a variety of ingredients to make different effects.. shredded coconut, matcha powder, different food colours ect. everything is edible except the chop sticks. I'm really happy that Aaron really loved it!!
