One of my oldest clients requested a German Strawberry Cake this time, and not just any cake… she wanted it shaped as number 18
She even sent me the recipe because honestly, I had never made one before 😭
Carving the numbers were manageable.
Making the custard was also fine.
But then came the strawberry jelly topping… and THAT was where the panic began 😂
I was so worried about how I was going to contain the jelly without it flowing everywhere. Bought cake collars first, but- too flimsy. Then rushed to get acetate sheets and wrapped them around the cakes to hold everything in place while the jelly set.
Something that looked so simple turned out to be nerve-wracking experience 😅
No practice run, no testing the recipe beforehand… just pure faith and anxiety LOL.
But seeing it finally come together was honestly so satisfying 🙈
Really hoping the client loves it as much as I stressed over it 😁
Enjoy
