A lady got in touch with a cake request that had me stumped at first. She wanted circus style for her soon-to-be 5 year old daughter, and in my head I had visions of a two or three tier masterpiece, with modelled clowns and lions. And panicked, because that type of cake is way out of my comfort zone, and doability. Now that I'm lucky enough to have another academic year of work, I have less time available to craft more magnificent pieces of art than before, so am careful which orders to accept, and which I need to regretfully decline.
But after a bit of chat back and forth, we determined that it was something more suggestive of a circus than the epic masterpiece I had envisaged. When added to the fact that her children preferred buttercream, I had a better idea of what would suit the family. Bunting was a definite, as it's so fun!
Red and white were the only required colours, so I had fun with the bunting et voila!
The bunting was printed onto paper, thanks to a link from The TomKat Studio - Kim puts so much fun stuff on the blog, it's hard to rein yourself in!
On the top of the cake was a plaque, but it just says simply Happy Birthday, rather than a name and age.
But we know it was Blythe's 5th birthday - hope it was fabulous sweetie!!
