First Real Order!

My sister Steph wanted to know if I was interested in doing a baby shower cake for a lady at her church a while back, and of course, I jumped at the opportunity. Of course, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into! All they said is that they wanted a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing big enough to feed 50 for a baby girl. I had no idea what to do, but I knew i wanted to try something new. I found a really cute silicone mold with baby items on it, and decided to do a tiered cake instead of a sheet cake, something I've never tried before. I started Thurs. night baking my cakes. I was able to bake my 2 small layers and 1 of the large layers before I finally had to call it a night. I finished up my last layer Fri. night and worked on my fondant and gum paste decorations (I worked on these for over a week!). Sat. I crumb coated, iced and assembled the cake, I even doweled it to make sure it stayed up! I checked it first thing Sun. to make sure it had survived the night in the fridge and was still standing straight, it looked great! I added my feet and flowers, which I finally decided upon as my design on Sat., and then loaded it into the vehicle! I was so nervous, but I think it turned out pretty good. Everything on the cake is edible except for the balloons on the top. And most importantly, everyone said it tasted great!!!
