This past weekend was full of surprises. It started off with a surprise birthday I set up for my boyfriend, Greg. I set up a night of bowling with a few of his friends after taking him to dinner. The surprise was sort of ruined becasue dinner ran very quickly and I had to figure out how to stall. So during dinner he kind of realized something was up. But, all that mattered was that he enjoyed the night with his friends. Although the party wasn't so much a surprise, he was surprised that I had made him a cake and it was already at the venue =).

So rewind back to earlier that morning. He had golf scheduled with his brother that morning and would be gone for about 5 hours, so that was the window I had to make this cake. I had made the cake layers and frosting earlier in the week so once he left I began the decorating. Oh, by the way, he told me the flavor profile he wanted already but he thought I would be making the cake for the following week for a dinner with his family. Anyways once he left I got to decorating. This was the first time I made spheres. It was kind of difficult because they kept melting in my hand. I ended up getting enough of them to work. I used luster dust to create the different colors on the cake. I added a constellation of his initials on the bottom right corner. I wanted to create an abstract galaxy cake and I think I was able to achieve that. Once I finished the cake, I boxed it up and drove it to the venue, and got back before he got home from golfing. It is very hard to surprise someone with a cake when you live with them and see them every day, but I did it! He was not expecting a cake that night and he was very please with both the design and the taste of the cake. Mission completed!​
