Rapunzel? Who's Rapunzel?

Okay... so here is a funny story.. A friend of ours referred me to her sister about her daughters birthday cake. Jared took the order (Jared is my Hubby) and the request was.. It didn't matter which one its is just as long as it Disney Princess. So he thought well a Disney Princess that is freshest in our mind because it was in theatres would be Rapunzel. We didn't think to actually run that idea past our customer... so we came up with this idea. Rapunzel, standing in the cake and her hair wrapping all the way around the tiers of the cake.

I was so pleased with the way the cake turned out.. but we thought we would throw in a key element to the story.. the frying pan:

plus some flowers in her hair and if you look close her pet chameleon is there too...

So we deliver the cake and this cute little girl come running in so excited to see her cake and.... she stops and says.. who's that? I WAS MORTIFIED! Her mom said.. you had to pick the one Princess she hadn't seen the movie to??? EVEN MORE MORTIFIED!! After the blood left my face we thanked them for the opportunity and apologized profusely for the mix up we left.. and we forgot to take pictures of the cake.. Luckily our friend took these for us and emailed them over to us. We again were so thankful that we had the opportunity to have made this cake.. with each one I learn something new.

What I learned from this cake:
1. Always re verify with the customer orders that Jared takes by himself. (I love him SO much)
2. Take pictures BEFORE delivering the cake..
3. My husband is the smartest guy ever.. The frying pan made this cake and it was his idea.
