What is the approximate number of people? If it was me and I was going this as a gift I wouldn't offer a tasting. They have already agreed to have you do the cake so they trust you already. Give them your tried and true flavors and have them just pick from the list. Also if you need or want to work on BC skills like piping you don't need to practice on a cake. I did a lot of practicing on the bottom and sides of an upside down cake pan. I took part of a batch of my BC, piped, scraped it off and re-used it over and over and over again. When I was working on a scroll design I tried to do a little for 15-20 minutes every day. It was pretty easy since the icing was just sitting there on the counter waiting for me.
