This mini wedding cake was a last minute order; five days before the wedding to be exact. When they are mini cakes, about a foot tall, I love it because I can create it from start to finish in about a day. They are easy breezy.
The only downside to last minute orders is that I have to adjust my weekend plans....but it's worth it because every order is helping me to become more established in the Austin area. I'm still fairly new at this...so every little bit helps.
Anyhow.
This client wanted a very "Zen" feel to her cake since it was a theme in her life. It also fit well with the venue which was Imperia Austin - they serve Sushi and Asian-inspired cuisine.
The client also loved , loved, loved chocolate and requested a rich chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache filling, iced in chocolate, and then covered in Satin Ice chocolate fondant. Wooo Weeee!
The photo of this cake is one I took before delivery. I didn't have the clients flowers with me, so I used some silk roses and berries and then played photo stylist. The lighting was a bit off though and the rose got washed out, and editing did not help much. Overall, I love how the final product came out.

I'm outing myself as a blogger. I feel this is a very good reason to do so.
My sister entered me to win a contest and her entry was chosen as one of the eight finalists. She had to write a 100-word essay as to why she should win for the "Eight O'Clock Coffee - Discover the Difference Contest".
She also submitted this photo of me.
Now our goal is to try and win the grand prize of $10,000 so we can finish building our dream kitchen. (I say finish, but it hasn't even been started yet. We work from a temporary location.)
