Also pretty great: I get to meet other cake decorators!
Cake decorators are an interesting bunch. By my count, there are roughly four point three bajillion cake decorators in the world today. Like any group of people, there are all kinds. Just... all kinds.
That swoop, y'all... love it! |
I have no idea what's going on in this picture, but I think it's hilarious. |
Isn't it pretty? Unfortunately, Christel flew to the cake show and so logistics were preventing her from taking her cake display home. Since her home is in Atlanta, I offered to drive her cake home with me so that she could come get it from Cakeapotamus. We're not too far from Atlanta, after all. And so I did.
But you know how it is.
Sometimes, you have a beautiful display cake sitting in your bakery that isn't yours, and you start to get... antsy. I swear, I don't know where these ideas come from, but I found myself thinking, "Wouldn't it be funny if I got some pictures of the Cakepot characters with Christel's cake and sent them to her?"
[ProTip: If you hear me utter the words, "Wouldn't it be funny...", proceed with caution.]
So, we started where you might expect: Stormtrooper attack.
My life is so much fun.
"What next?", I wondered. Oh! What about that scene in Ghostbusters where he pulls the tablecloth off the table in the fancy room?
And... the flowers are still standing! |
I got a little Harry Potter action:
Dr. Whorrible:
and Captain Hammer...And come on... how cool is this one?
You know I just had to try and get a princess picture in there:
And I love, love, love the Men in Black picture:
By the time I sent Christel the MiB picture, she had already decided to come down and rescue her cake sooner rather than later. And she did:
She even got a cookie for her troubles.
