Thanks chellescakes. I was doing what the customer asked. I just thought something was missing and maybe one day I would be able to do more realistic flowers. I have only been baking and decorating for 2 years. Lots to learn.

It was only a small cake , fondant covered and I always do a snail trail of royal icing around the bottom of the cake so they don't move and of course I used grip matting in the box and I had a little piece ready to pop under the cake on the floor. I have to Fly with a wedding cake in November a two tier although I think I will travel it unstacked , so this was a dry run.
I was actually quite proud of myself , I managed the cake , my carry on suitcase and my handbag by myself.

Sberry, it is a wonderful journey caking , I have learnt so much and yet there is still so much to learn . The hardest thing I learnt is when to step away from the cake . LOL

Okay here is what I did last week , I finally recovered enough to upload the pics onto the computer.
this is the one I flew with.

this was for my Aunt

This is for another caking friend the frosting was fresh cream mixed with a homemade cherry compote ( the cherries were imported from the USA .)
the cherry pieces made piping neatly a little difficult.

And finally my only paying gig for the week a teaset. Completely edible.

looks great Cat , I have been stalking this thread waiting for you to come home and post the pic. Sounds like your weekend was like mine last week. It is great to get out of town even if it does leave you a little worse for wear.

I too have the week off , I am hoping to start on my project for the Gold Coast Show.
