King of the Jungle

May 30th, 2009

Just over two weeks ago we were contacted by a woman who needed a cake and cupcakes for a jungle themed baby shower. We were excited to do it…we love when we get request for something we haven’t done before. So, we ask the woman for the date she needs them and she tells us May 30. Well, we already had orders for an engagement party which consisted of 2 small cakes and 3 dozen cupcakes (all different flavors), 24 lingerie cupcakes, and 40 My Little Pony cupcakes…all for that same weekend. There is nothing I dislike more than turning away an order…especially when it sounds like fun! We are however, only three sisters (technically only 2…one is still on bed rest with her pregnancy). We always want to insure plenty of time to produce the best quality cupcakes with the most creative decorations and not take on too much. So we took this order and made the cut off there. I don’t think I have gotten more requests for a single weekend before! We had to turn down 8 other orders!!! It’s times like these that I wish I had my own shop….some day:)

We received an e-mail with all the details, flavors, name, ideas, colors and a link to a photo of the invite and party decor….she said to take it from there, and we did.

Coordinating cake and cupcakes!

We had so much fun with this order and the woman LOVED them! While the plates and invites only included “the king of the jungle,” our client requested we give him some friends and incorporate a zebra and monkey. Congratulations and a warm welcome to baby Aiden!

    Jungle cake & cupcakes – I can not tell u how much we loved the cake & cupcakes!! I never expected the cake to look as beautiful as it did!! U matched our theme to a T! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it and I eneded up having to leave a pen & pad next to it for people to take down your business information! There were 70 guests! Thank u again, & look forward to placing my next order soon!
