I want to try something new tonight. I would like to tell a story for this cake. I work a normal 8 hour shift (sometimes more, sometimes less) at my primary job as a cook, doing cakes as a side business and hobby. Cake decorating is a passion of mine so much so that I can come home from a 14 hour shift and hand paint an entire cake for hours on end regardless of how tired I may be, and feel nothing but joy. Being self taught can mean many things but one in particular is when you take on a new challenge, it really is a totally new experience. Especially being an at home baker, the terror of knowing that anything could go wrong at any point in time both with how the cake is baked, all the way to the final touches of the overall look can be hard to keep your mind from straying to. That brings me to this particular cake. Square cakes are known to be on the much more complicated side of fondant covered cakes. The cake shown below is a Strawberry and Creme Minecraft cake. It is also the first square cake I have fully covered in fondant! This is what ten hours of work looks like, starting at 9 pm and finished by 7 am the following day. And with that, I can confidently say, what ever my client wants, no matter the circumstance, I will deliver to the absolute best of my abilities. Anything less is unacceptable 🎂 have a lovely weekend, and remember, cake will never hurt you!
