My work had a dessert pot luck contest this past week. I decided I was going to bring in a cake, but it couldn't be just any old cake. It had to be pretty spectacular since there were prizes involved!
The firm I work for has the tiger as their mascot. Yes, I even have one on my business cards. I thought by doing a tiger themed cake with the firm logo, I would get me some extra points. So, I started to design the cake. Matt had some good ideas to incorporate the tiger stripes with the firm logo.
The cake itself is two 10-inch round chocolate fudge cakes. The inside is a peanut butter mousse...which is to die for! Well, the results turned out great.
The good news is that I won first prize! A $75 gift card to William-Sonoma. The cakes were judged on appearance, taste and creativity. I have also had some inquiries about possible side jobs from people at work. Either way, I enjoy doing it.
