Cake designer goes mad on custom cake order.

That should be the headline for this blog entry. As the designer in question I must state my case. A new customer called on Saturday afternoon to order a custom cake for that Sunday, only 1 day away. Usually we ask for a two week window for cake orders but this customer was in a pinch. The designer she had picked to do this cake for her sons reptile themed birthday party had taken ill.
I agreed to do a simple dinosaur reptile themed birthday cake and have it available for pickup that Sunday.

This is where I lost it a bit. After considering several design ideas I decided to upgrade the customers order to a custom 3d cake at no additional cost to her. This is a $200.00 dollar upgrade! In defense of the decision. I am an artist. I saw the possibilities and decided to make it happen. The customer was ecstatic and the smile on her face was payment enough. Take a look at the cake and some other favorites from this weekend.
