So I've been debating for awhile now to get back into the nicer side of the cake business. I crave those custom orders and being able to put the time into them! Today I finally took on a little project to start updating my skills again!
I set up a kijiji ad to try to jump start things, and I ended up talking to a woman about a princess Elsa cake from the popular Disney movie Frozen. Unfortunately I think the price point I gave her was a little too steep and we never made any confirmed plans. However once the thought was in my mind I couldn't stop thinking about it! So for my family's Easter dinner I made her!
Since I was mostly concentrated on the design of the cake, I just used a cake mix to make that part quickly, the cake is way smaller then I would have liked it to be because of this... Oh well she's still pretty cute! If I can get a couple of orders out of this beauty then I will start using my prized cake recipes that I KNOW will make a big full dress for my girls.
The snowflakes were made in advance out of royal icing and left for 2 days to dry.
Also the other white accents were made from royal icing but they were done on the spot.
I'm not a huge fan of fondant but I felt like just icing this cake wouldn't do it justice! So I sucked it up and found 2 different shades of blue and made them adorably Frozen like!
Hopefully this will jump start a little bit more cake business and I can showcase even more projects in the future!! To see my older work check out
