Someone actually ordered a cake from me...

I haven't been too well the last few days hence my lack of updating, again!

Earlier this week a lady I work with asked me to bake a birthday cake for her mum. This is the first time I have been asked to make any cakes and only my fourth attempt so I didn't have a clue what to charge. Off the top of my head I came up with £20, altogether the cake actually cost me £22 to make and people have said I undercharged ALOT. But until I actually get more orders I can't ask for too much money, I'm just glad to be asked at the moment.

I was asked to make a two tier cake with lots of chocolate. She specifically asked for it to be black and white with a couple of flowers and possibly some feathers.

& this was the result


 I am uber pleased with the result, it took me a little longer than planned but was definitely worth it.

I delivered it on Tuesday to my place of work after managing to drag my ill self out of bed and the reaction was amazing. I work in a call centre and in my department there are around 70 people and all of the managers were beyond impressed, maybe I'll get some orders when I finally get my ill arse back in to work.
