At my last Works Christmas doo I got chatting to a wife of one of our employees and made friends with her on FB.
About 2 months ago I noticed she makes the odd cake for family and joked on FB saying "Can you squeexe me in" so we had a brief chat about what I was thinking of and I said all I know is that it has to be black and white and have something to do with NYC as thats where he popped the question. I had no idea what I wanted though.
This morning I had some cake wrapped up on my desk with a note saying taste me then look at your hotmail account. So I had a nibble and the cake was delicious then looked and she'd sent me some pics of a rough mock up cake she'd made to give me an idea of what I could take to the cake shops!! I was amazed!

I have now asked her how much would it be for a 5 tier one and if she would like to do it - she's jumped at it and said £200!
Just had to share as some people are bloomin lovely xx

CommentAuthorAbbey
The NY skyline is a wicked idea. What a lucky coincidence, great price too. xx
CommentAuthorGuessWho
It's just her rough attempt so the actual thing should be great - I've seen her work, the detail is great - she's going to cut lights on all the buildings so will look good. I need to think of flavours - I now it's boring but I love a plain Victoria Sponge, we'll do the top layer in Fruit Cake (yuk) and maybe have a chocolate flavour for the kids. what are you all having? x

CommentAuthorGuessWho
Ah never thought about that - I don't like fruit but the other half wants one layer of it - so I had said the smallest but yeah I guess it could sink. I'm making the cake stand so it will be lit up but with clear aqua crytals rather than the purple

Such a lovely cake and it ties in with your theme perfectly!
CommentAuthorClairebear67
Now that is fantastic Toria - what a fantastic price, how lovely of her to do that for you. -- Not sure what all flavours our cake will be but thinking of Chocolate and devils food cake as two flavours but not sure about third layer, none of us really keen on fruit will see. Im definately loving the Baileys idea.... lovely!! : ) lol
