sorry, guys. i've been busy. and right now my computer is being lame. BUT i just wanted to post a picture of the cake i just did for the owner of a fabulous burrito shop in downtown laconia called Burrito Me. His wife had a surprise 30th birthday party for him and asked me to make the cake! She wanted Happy Birthday Aaron to look like the Burrito Me logo, so i took my first venture into fondant lettering...which btw is a pain in the butt. but does look nice. basically i found a font that was similar to the burrito me font, printed out "happy birthday aaron" on the computer, cut those letters out of the paper with an exacto knife, THEN cut the letters out in fondant and let it dry before i put it on the cake! the swirlies are also a part of the logo. top layer vanilla, bottom layer chocolate, chocolate and vanilla swiss meringue buttercream for the frosting and the filling. it was quite delicious if i do say so myself! here it is!
and check out the Burrito Me facebook page to see their logo so you can compare!
I had a ton of fun doing this (with a little bit of frustration and a very little bit of sleep), but the end result was totally worth it. Thank you, Mandy, Aaron, and Remy for ordering!
p.s. this is a sample box I put together for someone...
spicy chocolate brownie, chocolate dipped shortbread,
vegan chocolaty chocolate cookies, and lavender heart cookies
(half dozen of each cookie, and 3 brownies)
A custom sample box with 4 things in it like this costs around 30 dollars, depending on what you order.
thats all for now!
ALSO, piper is wearing pigtails and took 3 steps all by herself! :)
