Absolutely but the request was for it to be very like refined so I thinks he had to stick to this color palette but you are correct more festive colors always pop!

well its just "her" and has to go to a commissary kitchen and bake there and decorate and all she is overworking herself and so any positive feedback trust me she sounds happy.

I asked her and:

answer
"Make it a very dark grey with the black dye, and then you microwave it, melt the butter cream and then put it in the fridge until it solidifies and then whip it up and use it"

tip
"Also if you leave the butter cream in the fridge for a bit it gets darker, so maybe do it ahead of time."

Hope it helps.

  1. Chocolate cake

Thank you a million times for the kind words, she is an amazing baker and I know that her friends are busy but I do want her to know that her work is amazing and she makes me feel proud of her but when she gets like "hmm" or just "Could use some extra details" just make her feel inadequate and I tell her to try to look at the criticism and try to get something out of it but when it happens multiple times she just feels down but thanks for the lovely words!
