Got a really nice surprise text message from a friend or my friend. My friend Le-Ann referred me to her friend Chester who happens to be looking for somebody to make a birthday cake for his girlfriend.
These things really means a lot to me for firstly, what the heck?!Chester could've gone to Art Cakes, Aggy's Cake Shop or even my friendly Multiply competitors to have his cake done. Right? Next, I always get girl / lady clients ordering cakes or cupcakes for their boyfriends. But this one is a guy, making an effort to surprise his girlfriend. I definitely wanted to make it really special and catered to his every request.
*Chester's Request*
His budget: Php 1,300
- Strawberry Cake
- 3D Tweety design (must be edible)
- Add some Snickers candy bars (it's the GF's favorite)
- Greeting "Happy Birthday Muding!"
So far so good... I definitely tried to stretch his budget to make it cute and pretty.
*My Rendition*
Strawberry cake with Lime Buttercream filling, Vanilla buttercream frosted, Tweety Bird made from gumpaste and sitting on Snickers candy bars, birthday greeting, lots of gumpaste flowers and dragees.
I really don't do meet-ups anymore as I charge for delivery. But this, I made an exception and woke up 5:00 a.m. just to meet Chester near our school by 7:00 to hand him over his surprise to Muding.
Goodness! I definitely feel like a saint! :)
