Go Packers?


Okay, so technically, the Gals are die hard COLTS fans, but since the Colts are already out of Superbowl contingency, our good friend Nick Niespodziani (of Yacht Rock Revue) is a major Packers fan, and it was his birthday, we decided we could root for a new team just this once. Well of course throwing a birthday for the Gals of Sashay is no small feat. In fact, we undertook a major baking challenge in attempting to create a football helmet cake. It was a first at shaping cake, smoothing butter cream and working with, what we now call, the dreaded fondant. It was certainly a challenge, but it all came together in an amazing creation. Check it out. As a side note, I now COMPLETELY understand and justify a price tag on a wedding cake. That stuff is hard!
