I had a request for a 30th birthday cake a few weeks ago. Customer requested all the bells & whistles, including a stripper on the cake. Unfortunately I possess neither the skill nor talent to create/sculpt a human life form from fondant/gumpaste/modeling chocolate. What to do, what to do? 🤔🤔🤔 Customer sent me pictures of Barbies used as strippers on cakes but they all looked like wild women swinging from trees with their legs spread eagle…lol. Also there was the problem of fitting everything she wanted on one cake, especially a 12 inch doll. Solution…make two cakes. One featuring the stripper on a stage complete w/pole & flashing lights & another Las Vegas/Casino one all on one cake board. I tried to “class up” my Barbie stripper as much as I possibly could. I hope mine doesn’t look too tacky. We cake decorators all have specific talents. Creating realistic looking human beings from cake decorating mediums isn’t one of mine…🙄🙄. Cakes are WASC w/almond vanilla buttercream accented w/fondant/gumpaste decorations, edible images, miniature lights, & stripper Barbie of course…😂😂😂😂. As always, thank you for looking
