This weather is not my friend

This was a busy week for me. I had two cakes to make for Sunday one which was a massive cake (I'll save it for the next blog). So there was tons of cake to bake this week. The first one was for a young girls confirmation. When I was doing the food show in Essex the owner of an Italian restaurant approached me and asked if I would make a cake for her granddaughters confirmation that was a week away. At first I didn't think I would have enough time, but in the end it worked out. She wanted it to have her name and a cross on it but other than that she said the design was up to me. I wanted to try something different, so I tried fondant draping for the first time. Was really excited how easy and well it turned out. Also it was my first time making fondant calalilies.
The only frustrating thing was the weather, it was so humid that the trip from Amherstburg to Essex was extremely stressful, hoping that the fondant would make it in one piece. I think we did alright.
What do you think?
