The wonderful owner of Angelina's Kitchen, Angela, asked me to do a cake for her youngest daughter's 9th birthday party. She knew I was busy and told me she just really needed a cake to serve, it didn't need to be decorated and "don't go crazy" she said. I prodded a bit to find out what kind of party it would be. A red carpet party, complete with a red carpet entrance filled with interviews, paparazzi and such. Chocolate cake was Sophie's only request. So as I set out to do a delicious, nothing special cake, I found myself coming up with ideas that would just take a bit extra effort and hopefully look super fun. Her name in a star, just like the Hollywood walk of fame and a fondant red carpet. Still it needed something else. I got it! Red velvet ropes around the edge.
Angela told me the kids loved the way the cake looked, but by the looks of this picture, I have to think the taste (especially eaten off their fingers) was the best part of it all.
I think I actually like this picture better than the finished cake shot. Don't you love the touch of glam in their clothes and then the hands everywhere! I am so happy Sophie
thoroughly enjoyed her cake. I am thinking that may be how I should eat my cake this birthday. 41 years of eating cake with a fork, maybe it is a time for a change?!
