50 Shades Of Somethin….

I must admit, I may potentially be the only woman left in America  that hasn’t read the book dubbed in the media as “mommy porn”.  Although, I’ve read enough pages to know that it won't be winning a Pulitzer Prize anytime soon.  However, if you're raking in royalties from the sale of 50 million books, I suppose you can live without a Pulitzer.

Well, it was long overdue given the hype, but we were finally asked to  create our first “Fifty Shades of Grey”  themed cake recently.  It makes me laugh that discussing S & M is now part of people’s daily conversation and everyday birthday cakes! A husband had requested this cake for his wife's birthday,  and we wished we could have been there to see her face when she saw it!  It was a toss up…. Was she going to be horrified to serve it to her family, or think it was hysterical and love it?  I’m hoping for the latter! We’ll never know, unless she chooses to comment on this blog :)

When we got the cake order,  we had lots of fun talking about the possibilities of what we could have included in the final design.  After all, these days anything to do with Christian Grey commands a certain level of authenticity! My business partner Angie and I  agreed a long time ago that we wouldn't take on any “adult” themed cake requests.  However, our cake designer Aubrey did a great job making sure this cake was definitely 50 Shades of Grey related, but yet, not totally over the top with unsavory innuendo.  Although, I suppose hand cuffs may potentially tip the scale towards unsavory, unless you’re a police officer:)  I hope you like it as much as we did!
