I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cakes! It's getting to be a really big problem because I really should be doing things like.... homework instead of making cakes and Gold's Gym is going to make a killing off of me for the rest of my life. This last two cakes I was really excited to make. They were for Alpha Phi's C.O.B. initiation class. C.O.B. means Continuous Open Bid, basically it means that its for the initiates who didn't get initiated at formal rush. I seriously love all the girls that got initiated and I'm really glad we have that program because they're AMAZING! But one of the initiates, she really is great and I love her, but she was bugging me for like two weeks to make her a Harry Potter cake for her initiation. And I'm glad she did cause the more you annoy me the more likely I am to make you a cake, probably shouldn't put that online cause I have a feeling I'm gonna get annoyed a lot now. Anyways I had a couple extra cake mixes left over in my stash and I needed to use them. Another good reason to use them is it was on my list. I made a list of goals I need to reach with my cakes and making a lot at once was on it as wellllll as:
1. Use fondant on every other cake you use.
2. Make more wedding cakes!!
3. Start doing three layers more often.
4. Do sculpture cake! **
5. Make an average of ten cakes per month
This is all I've got for now but I'll definitely be adding more to this list. But I'm super excited about this list espcially #4 cause this one will be coming soon!!!
But for now you'll just have to see my doing cakes a lot at once. I did three at once. I learned a lot from doing this and mainly that it's a TON easier to do a lot at once.... meaning I should probably just quit school and open my own shop cause it'd be a lot easier to make cakes.
But here they are!!
This one was the Harry Potter cake. I still wanted it to be Alpha Phi related so I decided to go with the colors of Gryffindor and then make a spellbook where you can recite the spell "AOE" and poof! You're initiated!!! Cheesy but still creative so go with it.
The second one was for all the initiates. I put all their names around the edge of the cake so it was a lot more personal then made our letters out of gumpaste! Seriously though, I love all our new initiates and I'm so excited they now know all the secrets of Alpha Phi. Love and AOE!!
The third cake I don't have a picture of because I stopped half-way through.... I know I didn't really reach my goal but I'll make up for it next time. :)
