Anything special on your cake, I always ask...She said, "Orchids please". Small, simple and lots of color.  This 8" cake for 20 people is a Piña Colada cake for a 40th birthday.  Not one cake has ever been the same.  Perhaps another cake may have the same idea, but whatever comes to mind as I begin to design, is where I begin a creation.  I then prepare for fresh flowers, fresh fruit or detail in icing.
