Love this boho 1st birthday set for so many reasons! A little different rainbow color palette, a mix of fondant and buttercream with those dried grasses, AND a set of buttercream cookies...
But I got sick that week and instead of a minor 2 day cold like the rest of the fam dealt with, it lasted 4 and got much worse the day before pickup. It was too late to cancel or find another baker for my 3 orders, so my youngest volunteered to stack and crumbcoat my other cake orders. (The cakes and buttercream were made, and the fondant rainbows & buttercream cookies for this order were finished already so they could dry).
That morning, I stacked and crumb coated this set and got it chilling. Leah did an excellent job on the others while I napped. Then, she attempted a final coat on this set. I had just a couple spots to touch up when I finished stacking the tiered cake.
I've had a lot of unexpected responsibilities come up over the last couple months, and she has been such a comfort and a help to me when I start to stress about how I'll fit it all in. I was so proud of building margin into my schedule to allow for true rest days. All that margin got filled quickly, so I'm attempting to adjust my schedule even more to get a little margin back.
I've been referring almost every inquiry to other bakers while I try so hard to fulfill my commitments in baking, volleyball, and family life. Unfortunately, baking is having to take the back burner until volleyball is over.
If you have an invoice, paid or unpaid, I'm committed to you. As was the case this past weekend, it may be that I find a replacement baker for you and facilitate pickups. It may be that my daughter helps get the cakes started for me. No matter what comes, I will do everything I can to provide a terrific experience for you!
