She told us a story about a respected cake designer Duff that she often gets referrals from who sent her the most ridiculously complicated cake EVER. At first he didn't explain what the client wanted only that he was busy that he was graciously sending the client to Karen. When she heard that they desired a city of light... ya, REAL lights, that turned on and off she had a feeling that this was a set up... though she was very up for the challenge. I got a laugh when she said she had called him to get his ideas on how to tackle this task and he simply replied with something like, "oh you'll figure it out". Well, she did! Light switch and all!
Another one she said had caught her a little of guard was when she was asked to make one for a strip house... now, I know what your thinking because it is exactly what Karen was thinking when she said.. "I don't know about that", They were a steak house, no nudity involved.
When we asked about divorce cakes she told us about how she was asked to make a cake for the former wife of drummer Travis Barker. She declined saying she didn't want the bad karma that creating a cake of Travis's severed head falling down several tiers of frosting would bring. It was weeks later that he was involved in a plane crash.... She told you so!
The most time consuming cake: Completely covered in 364 hand made damask patterns. This cake took 32 hours total. WOW! You are a WONDER, WOMEN!!
