First Paid Cake

Whodda thunk it? Me, who could barely turn on the oven 15 months ago, would be paid to bake and decorate a cake? I certainly wouldn’t have believed it.

And yet, earlier this week, I was contacted by a lady who heard i could probably do it…that is, bake and decorate a cake for her mother’s birthday. I can’t say no. I just can’t. The trouble was, she wanted it to be a sheet cake, but coconut. Coconut cake, most often, is round and layered. And there’s the icing, which is chock full of, well, coconut. So that makes the decorating of it a wee bit difficult. I did my best.
