Erin's Cake

So, I don't like to brag, but every once in a while, I'm pretty excited when my projects have such a successful conclusion. 

A few months back, I received a text from my hair stylist asking if I would be willing to trade a cake for her sister's graduation party, for a cut/highlight/low light session.  I was thrilled to do it, since it was an amazing deal for me.  I picked her brains on what she had in mind.  As soon as she said her sister was into girly stuff, and loved the colors pink and black, ideas started to form in my head.  Zebra print, make up, purses, all kinds of fun stuff.   So here's the final product. 

 My amazing sister in law Renae even came over to offer some opinions as I put the final touches on, and helped my out by making the blush brush and jewelry for the base.  All in all, I was pretty pleased.  When Clair came to pick up the cake, she was so excited, insisting that it wasn't enough for just me, but we needed to add some more to my package.  I told her if she'd cut and style Morgan's hair, (and maybe add a few fun highlight before our vacation) we'd call it even.  My appointment is Monday night, and I can't wait to reap the benefits of my hard work. 

BTW, everything in this picture is edible. (with the exception of the wooden dowels we cake decorators use to hold the dang thing together.)  Everything else?  You betcha!
