So cake number one went well so well I got another client out of it--albeit another princess cake, but, another cake. There has been one development between client one and client two. I found out I was pregnant. We were planning on having kids-- God just excellerated the time line. This was not in my plan-- this was six months early. I now had clients-- where did being pregnant 6 months early and having two clients fit into my life matrix that I was trying so desparately to follow--I would keep working my corporate job and do parties and make fabulous cakes. However, this was God's way prepping me for parenthood. What not to do at my own daughter's birthday parties- 75 adults 40 kids. Over the top-- storytellers, goodie bags, music, lights-- there might have well have been a fog machine.
But a stuck to my plan... my computer template. I submitted my sketch (I drew probably twenty) and they loved it. I used the same buttercream receipt-- but alternated chocolate and vanilla layers. A cinderella blue fondant with little slippers randomly placed-- but every slipper was intentional. I remember rotating the cake and asking my husband does it look okay--I am sure he was looking at me as if I was asking him "does the cake look fat?"
The client loved the cake and recommended me to girlfriend-- a kid's birthday cake. I was now officially on the kiddie circuit.
