I have a good friend at work who likes cake. I mean it - she really likes cake. She is single-handedly keeping me in the cake making business. There are some weeks when I find myself making two or three cakes for Erika. Here are just some of the orders she's placed in the last year:
 |
| This was her daughter's Minnie Mouse cake. This one started it all! |
 |
| Erika's husband has a side job as a bartender. I made him a martini shaker and glass. |
 |
| This baby rattle was for a friend's shower. |
 |
| This was for Erika's Scrabble-enthusiast mom. I had a tough time with the board & peeled it all off to start over again. Note to self: don't try something new for someone else's cake. |
 |
| This was for the Fourth of July. I used a napkin as inspiration. It was a ton of piping, but I loved how it came out. |
 |
| This cake was for Erika's sister. It was actually pink, but my camera is crazy. |
 |
| A friend needed a Superman cake for her son. Erika ordered it from me. |
 |
| Anyone who knows Erika knows that she loves Hello Kitty. This was her birthday cake. |
 |
| She also talked her daughter into having a Hello Kitty party this year! |
 |
| ...with cupcakes to match. |
 |
| A little Easter cake |
 |
| A birthday cake for Aunt Charlotte |
Thanks to Erika, I'm always busy with cakes. I can count on her for at least one order a month. It's helping me to hone my skills!
**Updated: I added two more of Erika's recent cake orders. I'm sure there'll be more to come!
