Curious George Themed Cake

My fourth commission is due April 1st, making it the second commissioned cake that I will complete. It’s for a baby boy’s first birthday. His mother is throwing him a Curious George themed birthday party and asked for a cake that can feed 40-50 people. Her first thought was that she was interested in sheet cakes, so I sketched out a couple of options for her:

She liked the balloon concept, but after giving it a second thought, decided she was more interested in a round cake. So, I sketched out two round cake options: a single tier cake and a double tier cake.

The lastest feedback is that she is liking the single tier option. As for flavor, we’re looking at a vanilla cake with whipped cream flavored buttercream frosting and strawberries in between cake layers.

Check back later for the next steps in the creation of this and the other cakes I’ll be working on in the next couple of weeks…
