Semi Truck Cake

So, my father in-law called me the other day with a request. The company that he works for just received an award so he wanted to throw a party for his employees. Ok, I can handle that. Then, I realize his request isn't for just any cake, "can you make me a semi truck?" Ughhhhhh....lol I have to say - I was pretty pleased with how it turned out!!

Original

This is what the original cake looked like before the mishap! I have to say I was very pleased with how both of them turned out!

Faux Wedding Cake

Soooooo the worst thing possible just happened to me this weekend!! I was getting ready to deliver a wedding cake and one of the tiers shifted and when I went to fix it, the cake pretty much fell apart! I was absolutely PANICKED, as you can imagine, because I had no clue how I was going to redo a cake in 3 hours that originality took me about 3 DAYS to create! So, I called Dessert Deli to see if they had a tier I could buy from them in the flavor I needed and then I would just redecorate that. They suggested I do a faux cake, decorate it as the bride wanted it, and then I could buy sheet cakes from them in the flavors I needed for them to cut up at the wedding. Not only did they offer to help buy providing me with the styrofoam for the faux cake, but they handed me an apron and actually let me sit back there in the bakery, use all of their stuff, and decorate my cake right there so that I didn't lose any time! AMAZING!! What bakery do you know that would offer something like that!! Couldn't be more appreciative of Dessert Deli, the owner, or their staff! BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOU!!  Here is my finished product.
