The Cake...

Yesterday (October 12th) was Sherri's 26th Birthday. We had a great evening with friends, we had 11 people at the Grenn's house for a little party for Sherri!! I knew that I wanted to do something "different" for her this year. We both really enjoy the TV show "Ace of Cakes" and I got the idea to have an "unusual" cake made for her. I contacted the lady who did our wedding cake (who is absolutly AMAZING!!!!!) and told her my ideas and she said..YES! I can do that!!

First I had to figure out what I wanted the cake to be. Sherri is very "girly" and loves anything pink or purple, so at first I was thinking of a very girly cake. But then I got "The Idea". One of the things that Sherri loves is "Coach" bags and purses. I recently got her a new Coach bag in Seattle that she absolutly loves and uses all of the time. I thought...How awesome to have a cake made that looks like her favorite Coach bag!!! So, I secretly took some pictures of the bag, as well as her Dior sunglasses and sunglasses case and e-mailed them to our cake lady. She did all of the hard work and I picked up the cake last night just before the party. The cake was THE highlight to say the least!! I was amazed at how well it turned out and everyone couldn't believe how real it looked!!!

Here are some pictures....
