Was a ton of fun to work on this cake! A lot of little details, made it all come together!

From stitching the "leather together" to stringing the laces, all on top of a carved chocolate and raspberry delight!

A special thank you to my brother (an auto body technician - so he has an incredible eye for detail) for sticking with me to finish this cake! Four hands make two hours a lot more productive!

It seemed that it was during the busiest time of summer I got the most amount of orders for cakes... isn't that life!! So many nights after everything else was done and everyone was in bed I found myself working on cakes! 

This was one of those after midnight cakes - customer was happy. I still see all the imperfections, but like one of my instructor has said - there comes a time were you just have to embrace the imperfections in the cake... they will make the cake unique (taken in the right way of course). Still my aim is for perfection!
This was just my chocolate cake filled with a rich chocolate pudding and fresh raspberries!

Happy Birthday Mikes - hope you had a most enjoyable day! Love you!
