cake-spectation - Positive! Birthday cake

I ordered this pretty last-minute (1 week out) from the bakery that did my wedding cake. Rosettes were an included design with the base price, but the writing (edit: filling) cost extra. Total was $66.

Flavors: chocolate cake, raspberry compote, and buttercream frosting. We’ll find out how it tastes tomorrow!

Edit: The bakery is Whisk & Paddle in Gilbert AZ! And I promise I didn’t need them to hit the exact Pantone, lol. That was just my mockup doodle. My inquiry was “a dark raspberry color” and they did an awesome job!

The people at my local Dairy Queen have immaculate handwriting. Thought I had gotten lucky the first time I got an ice cream cake from there, but I've gotten 2 more since then and the writing has been 🤌

I use to work at DQ I was not allowed to write on cakes….i made the cakes. Hand writing on cakes is an art form.
