Caution! Cake Makes Your Clothes Shrink

Here are the pictures of the two birthday cakes I was commissioned to bake.
The Coconut Cream Cake and the Chocolate Chipotly Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream and Chocolate Ganache. Although baking two cakes for one occasion is time consuming, Individual cakes didn't take that much time. Here is my time breakdown.

3. I gave it a crumb coat of cream cheese frosting.

Doing it over 3 days kept my stress level on "O"

I must confess, sugar is my worse temptation. I cleaned up custard pots, cake batter, frosted beaters, and Ganache coated spoons. I don't think there is any calories in a lick. But, when all was said and done with the cakes, I resumed normal home operation.

But, after three days of baking, I think my pants shrunk!
