So this guy came into Sam's Club last week with this castle cake set thing his wife had gotten from Michael's. They wanted to know if we (Sam's Club) would do it for them. I guess it isn't obvious that the bakery at Sam's Club isn't some high end specialty bakery. Anyways, I told the guy we didn't do stuff like that (we just do sheet cakes and cupcakes and stuff). Then this other girl I work with in the bakery said to me, "you should do it for him at home!" And the guy was like, "yeah!" And I'm like, "uh, ok." I didn't think it would take very long and I told him I'd do it for 50 bucks (that includes the cost of the cake and the icing and the time I spent making the stupid thing). Not enough!! Supplies were like 20 bucks total and I spent like 6 hours making it. That was my Friday night. Awesome. It did turn out pretty cute though. Too bad that little girl whose birthday it was for was only turning 2 and wouldn't even appreciate it. So I'm posting it on the blog so that you could all appreciate it :)

That is a beautiful creation you've got there! can you only eat the very bottom? I've got to try a castle, looks like fun but hard work. Thanks for showing us.
wow heid.. thats some talent there.. did the guy tip you? sheesh, that looks like a lot of work!
Amazing. Definitely shoulda made him give you more than $50 bucks though!!
wow heidsters.. thats like amazing!!! I would be afraid to eat that baby....
give yourself a pat on the back from me
wow!! i'm SUPER impressed.. and i think you need to charge more like 500 bones for the piece of work! when are you going to open up your own bakery?
Heidi this cake is sick (you know, sick in the good way)! i can't believe you made that.
Definitely didn't charge enough but it was worth it for the blog post I say.
That cake should be on a magazine cover! You are super talented!
You are too nice doing it for the guy, but it looks amazing!
It looks amazing! What a strange request... and a bummer deal on your end. You should have held the cake hostage until he paid you more. :)
Wow I'm impressed at your skills. You are very talented. To bad you only got $50 bucks for it.
