Lazy Cake Decorating

October 1st, 2007 @ 11:31 am by Mrs. Gummi Bear

Not our baker, she’s not lazy at all. But we didn’t want to subject her to making a billion sugar flowers for one of our cakes, so we bought some online for her to just paste onto the cake later. We love her, so we figured anything we could do to make her life easier we’d just go ahead and do it ourselves. You can get flowers from a few places, just individually or as cake kits. We bought ours from Gail Watson Cake but Wendy Kromer has a lot of other really cute options if you’re looking!

They came in the mail in a not-so-secure feeling box wrapped in bubble wrap. Not individually, just kinda stuffed in there. So a bunch flew across the table when we first opened the box. They didn’t break, though, so they’re mildly durable, although certainly not Miss GB-level-clumsy proof, so we put them away quickly.

Note the Halo 3 box put in the photo oh-so cleverly as a hint that Mr. GB wants gamer tags so he can get his ass whooped. He’s terrible at FPS.

ps - they smell better than they taste. I just ate one and it has a slightly yucky aftertaste…. like.. pee. Not that I drink pee, but you know, if I were to, this is the aftertaste I would imagine.

pps - Mr. GB likes them, so I am convinced he must like the taste of urine. If I find a suspicious empty glass in the bathroom, I’ll let you know.

How did you order those? Did you have to get the whole kit? I am looking for something like that- just the flowers- but didn’t see them on her site. I did like some on the other site, but not as much as the ones you got. They are soooo cute!

ROTFLMAO!!!! Good thing they look so pretty…Maybe the taste is like a defense mechanism against anyone (bakers, ring bearers, drunk groomsmen) who would try to pilfer them before the cake cutting?

I hope people have enough sense to remove them, or maybe the caterers will remove it before cutting? who knows! Maybe the pee taste is like asparagus pee- only some people can taste the sugar-flower-urine.

As or buying the flowers, yes, we bought one kit for our cake. You just have to call them, and the customer service is not so responsive, but they got it here when they said they would, so not an issue. :)
