Last Thursday, we had our office party debut! Affiliated Engineers, Inc. has recently moved their office from North Tampa to Harbor Island and wanted to celebrate with an open house party. And no party is complete without a cake so they called us!
I won’t lie. It was hard to come up with a creative and fun cake design for an engineering firm. Engineering is full of straight lines, calculations, and precision. And, in the past, our cakes tend to be a little whimsical, fun, and colorful.
But, after a full day of brainstorming, here’s what we came up with:
On the bottom tier, I attached copies of electrical, plumbing, and mechanical plans the company created for buildings and projects in the Tampa area.
On the middle tier, I attached pictures of the completed projects in Tampa. Both the bottom and middle tiers utilized my PhotoFrost printing system where I can print on edible paper with food color. Love it!
And the top tier displayed an edible version of the downtown Tampa skyline with a custom-made topper celebrating the Tampa branch of Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
The three banners on the cake read “Complex Projects,” “Innovative Solutions,” and “Diverse Clientele.” These phrases were taken directly from AEI’s mission statement and really helped to tie the whole cake together.
This is so cool, Melanie! I bet it was a hit with them.
Melanie, beautiful work. You are so talented.
WOW!!! I bet they were thrilled with this. What a stunning cake. I think you did a fantastic job.
