There are so many things I love about being a cake artist: The way the buttercream slides under the palette knife, the look of chocolate cake batter as it is poured into the pan, that moment when the cake creation is complete. One aspect that I take a great deal of pride in is matching seemingly insignificant details. Yes, I'm a geek. But I feel that you might not notice that they're there, but the cake just wouldn't look right without them. Whether it's the tiny Porsche hood ornament or the Canadian seal on an edible passport, I just love details.
This particular cake gave me a fun opportunity to match details perfectly - a cake based on a logo designed for a company birthday party.
Freshbooks is five years old!

The cake:
The especially geeky detail? Check out the colour of confetti placed on the letters in "Fresh" and "Bash":
I know, right? Gotta love the details.
This particular cake was a scrumptious combination of Vanilla Sugar cake with Chocolate Truffle Filling. Happy Birthday, Freshbooks!

Oh man, greatest blog post ever! You rule more than my life (and my life rules pretty hard), Kristin!
From the moment I contacted you on Twitter to the delivery of the cake to the office (causing hoards of FreshBooks-ers to follow with jaws dropped) to the momentious cutting, your cake was so much more than a huge success.
This was a very important part of a big day for FreshBooks, so thank you so so much for being part of it.
And the best part of it all is the fact that you were a pleasure to work with. I will recommend the pants off you.
Love,

P.S. The confetti details are ridiculously tedious in the best possible way! You are incredible and amazing and wonderful and the coolest ever and a million other overly positive adjectives!
P.P.S. Consider this my permission to use this as a testimonial. I'll forever sing your praises : )
Amazing! A friend of mine who was at the party said the cake was fantastic and then sent me the link. I love it. Cheers!
