"Gotta catch 'em all"
Well, I had my first order for a cake this week. It was lots of fun to make. My friend from school asked me to do a cake for her son's 17th birthday. She decided on a strawberry cake with vanilla icing and wanted it to have a Pokemon theme. I really knew nothing about Pokemon so I had to do some research to come up with an idea. I settled on doing a three tiered cake. The bottom tier was done with two 10 in square cakes, the middle was three 8 in round cakes and the top was done with a ball cake pan. Each layer was strawberry with a vanilla buttercream center. I covered each tier in fondant, but I did something a little different. I made some modeling chocolate and kneaded a 1/3 chocolate and 2/3 fondant. This made the fondant taste a little better than it normally does. I proceeded to cover the bottom two tiers with blue fondant and yellow starts. The round ball cake on top was made into the Pokeman ball from the cartoon. I had so much fun working on this cake and hope that Bryan (the birthday boy) really enjoyed it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN :)
