I just wanted to make a little diary entry to say that the cake got there in one piece! Phew! I was so worried. To give it some added stability, I loosely wrapped some cellophane around the cake and then gently stuffed some bubblewrap into the box. That way, if the cake did start to topple, it had the bubble wrap to 'lean' against to stop it falling.
The customer was thrilled with it. She sent me an email to say:
"Hi Suzanne
It was nice to meet you to and i'm over the moon with the cake! - also made it into work with no problems at all - phew!!!
I will certainly get a picture of Alex with cake and will email it to you on Monday.
Thank you once again
Best Wishes
Lynsey"
And she did indeed email me some photos. One of them is on my 'proper' website (www.patacake-parties.com) and it's on the 'Comments' page.
Sunday 11th, I was in Birmingham for a big cake/sugarcraft exhibition at the NEC. It was great - the first time I'd been. I got to meet quite a few people that I've only ever known via email and websites previously: Hannah - who I met through Babyworld; Sylvia and Bob - who I met through ebay and subsequent apron orders; and lots of members of the British Sugarcraft Guild website. It was so nice to meet people and put faces to names. I was fairly restrained in my purchases ;o) Hannah - I'm still in two minds as to whether I should have treated myself to those large rolling pins that do the embossing!! I'm still in love with them!
Anyway, two cakes for this coming weekend - a rocket and a number 1 with Winnie etc on.
That's it for now.
