It's Wednesday evening, and as I am doing my laundry, I'm making sketches for a custom cake I am making for Friday evening... A young woman who works for Botkier is having her 30th birthday at the restaurant I'm a pastry chef at and I've been asked to make a cake! This is so exciting because I feel like I haven't had any time to work on cakes and cake toppers which I would eventually like to sell online, so this is a good opportunity to actually make one. The sketch I've come up with so far is this:
The setting is an interactive display at the Melbourne Museum, where visitors get to look thru the plastic dome and find themselves surrounded by Ants. So, I'm going to make a cake with herself in the plastic, looking frightened, surrounded by ants and a piece of steak (she's a vegetarian). On the side of the cake I plan to put a couple of items about her personality, like silver ballet flats, a botkier bag, a scarf (because it's really cold in new york), and these items will be propped next to the entrance.
I hope it turns out as planned and that they love the cake!
Wish me luck, I've got such a busy schedule for the rest of the week... or more like the rest of this year. I feel like I don't have a moment's rest!
Oh, and here are some halloween pictures, trick or treating with my family...

sigh* laundry is done and needs to be folded. I love the feel of warm fabrics against my face, especially when they smell like lavender.
