Well we are finally here, the last day of Aardvark Cakes. I’ve been working flat out for weeks now on orders that were placed before I made the decision to change my life (yep, a teeny bit dramatic!) Now I have finished, I’m having a reminisce about some of the cakes and invite you along for the ride. Its pretty safe to say I’ve been pants about photographing the cakes at points (notably during my 3 pregnancies) so there may be some gaps. I’ve done tons more cakes than I thought so this might end up being a 2 parter post. It would be good to start with my first ever cake – I can’t find a picture though. There is one in existence so I will carry on the search but I will tell you a bit about it anyway… The client was a friend of my Auntie’s and the cake was for her 18 year old daughter. I decided on silver stars on a white cake (fruit!) with star explosions. Sounds simple enough? Bear in mind, at this point I had never even covered a cake!
