My cakes page now has a picture of the web page cake I made for work.
I've decided that my objection to taking commissions for cakes is not so much about the decorating as the fact that I'm getting quite bored of the process of making and icing cakes. If somebody presented me with a ready-made, ready-iced cake and a design brief, I'd probably quite happily take it on. The decorating is so much fun to do when it works out right.

Date: 2004-05-07 01:30 am (UTC)I don't think my cakes page is good enough to merit a birthday celebration... the whole site is in desperate need of redesign, but, you know, cobbler's children, webmaster's homepage, etc.
I do love the idea of recursive cake though. I did one for my mum's birthday once, the cake was done to look like a table with patterned tablecloth, and on the table there was a vase of flowers, a candlestick, some presents (licquorice allsorts with 'ribbons' piped round them!), a birthday card (I cheated and made a small paper card... oh, actually I cheated on the flowers as well, they were plastic) and a cake which looked like the cake, IYSWIM. The miniature cake still had all the stuff on it (including a paper card which was about 3mm high) but the cake on that cake was just a blob by that point, so I couldn't go any further.
