A full cake day

Well, here is the order completed for Sunday. Twenty 4" lemon cakes with lemon curd filling and fondant icing and topped with a gumpaste calla lily and leaf; an 8" Jamaican fruitcake covered in marzipan and fondant and a baby cradle; a 10" lemon cake with lemon curd filling and covered in fondant icing, a sugar cross and rosary. And a sugar card. And a couple of dozen iced sugar cookies in the baby theme. Also 6 dozen assorted other cookies. Whew, it was a long day getting it all together.

Sugar day

Wednesday afternoons are my time to play with sugar with my friend Verdie. We're working on an order for May 11 for a combined Christening and Confirmation. There will be an 8" Jamaican fruitcake with a baby cradle, a 10" lemon cake with a cross and rosary beads, twenty 4" lemon cakes each with a sugar calla lily, a standing card, and several dozen cookies, half of which will be baby-themed cutouts. It's a pretty big order with not a lot that can be made ahead of time. Today we worked on the calla lilies, the baby cradle, the rosary and lettering for the cakes & card.
