To Cake or not to Cake

How do I get myself in these situations, I love decorating cakes but... I am not sure if I am great at making them under pressure.

I have 3 orders, a Western Cake, a Surf cake and a wedding cake.
Yes - that's right - its not a typo - a Wedding Cake. I am already having sleepless nights just thinking about what happens if i screw it up? Should I have said no ? or should I just do it and use it as a way to launch my new adventure?

so... where to start - I have been busy searching the net for pictures of cakes as inspiration, there is so much out there.. and to add to the pressure the bride to be would like piping.. I don't even know how to pipe. So I am on a mission to try and convince her that piping is not the way to go... lets see how you go.

I will keep you posted on the wedding cake... Updates shortly !!

Western cake - the brainstorm went a little like this -
- hat
- horse
- gun
- boot
- Clint Eastwood
- the good the bad and the ugly
- a saloon
- a cactus

and so on... leaning strongly to cactus


Surf Cake - that was a bit easier...
- a wave and a little surfer
- a board
- a thong
- water
- palm tree


lets wait and see....

I have been so flat out with my normal work ... but will keep you posted
