The creations

Well, they are done! Heather and I did two cakes in one week! We both decided that we won't be doing that again anytime soon, but we had so much fun doing it. Both were so different. The first cake was a cake for a guy's wife who is coming home from Iraq. We had a lot of fun making it. If I could do it again I would definitely make the red stripes thicker or at least have more of them. James loved the bottom of the cake, he thought we got the colors perfect.

So after we got done with the Patriotic cake, the plan was to do the couch right after. But by almost 11:00 at night we called it good and decided to do the other cake the next day. Here is the story. A guy was selling his couch, a lady called and wanted to buy it, so when she goes over there to pick it up the two fall madly deeply in love and get married.....I thought they still had the couch, but I guess they sold it recently. The guy asked James if Heather and I could make a cake resembling the couch (picture below) for a party they were having. The couch is kind of the thing that brought them together. The wife thought it was hilarious!! It was so funny to see her face :) So here is a picture the guy gave us to go off of, and then pictures of what we came up with.

The couch cake was our hardest cake so far. It was a lot of detail work, it kept us thinking. I loved doing it though. Don't let the pictures fool you either, this cake was a monster...it was like 18-20 inches long and so thick!! Although I love making all types of cake, I think the theme cakes and ones that have stories behind them are my favorite now.

So I know Heather did this on her blog a while back but how much would you charge for these cakes? We have been having a hard time being able to come to decision on a certain number. What would you charge or what would you pay?
