Its a Red Velvet cake with a yummy Marscarpone and Cream Cheese filling. The cake was delicious, but I had some trouble with how I decided to decorate it. It seems kinda blah to me. The fondant interacted with the icing in such a way as to melt the sugar, so the cake kinda weeps sugar around the seams. It all seems a bit too "home made" to my eye. I ran out of time to do everything I had designed, the cake broke when I was torting it, the bow looks like it has a hard-on, my Pal didn't like the color scheme - so I changed it, but never really bought into it, and on and on.
The real lesson here is to follow my own instincts and have fun.
Anyway, folks at the party seemed to like it. And someone hired me to make a cake for them!
So - Immaculate Confections has its big start. I need to design a business card!

Holy Caramba, Mrs. P! A little big in the bow perhaps, but otherwise? Confection perfection! I'm so glad to know you are developing a business out if this -- they are entirely too gorgeous to hide from the rest of the world!
Thank you Carroll. Your encouraging words really help.
Mrs. P.
Hey, Mrs. P! Guess what??! For the heck of it (Slow day in Cupertino? Nope, procrastinating!) I just googled "Immaculate Confections" -- you're Number Two!!! Gooood name choice!!
Mrs. Pink,
You dear! I want to hire you to consult, contract you to make architectural details, and otherwise pay you to attend as an expert ' The Great San Francisco Drag Queen Gingerbread Architecture, Fireworks & Mescal Event' that is shaping up at the end of this month. Call for details! This is the second not quite annual.
Love you! Funlady
I accept! Who could resist the combination of Drag Queen and Gingerbread and Fireworks and Mescal? The Drag Queens alone are superheros.
Love back at ya!
Mrs. P
That name Immaculate Confections suits you decorative baking perfectly.
