Pastry Chef Sheya - Volume 1 Chapter 9 Wedding Cake

Having Henson around is like a breath of fresh air. The kid is a charmer and very popular among the ladies because of his good looks and easygoing personality. The number of customers keep on getting higher giving Sheya the comfort of adding a new baker on the team to help her in the kitchen giving her more time to focus on customised and made to order requests which required attention to details so she makes sure to establish clear communication with the clients to avoid any problem.

Sheya: So please tell me what you have in mind

Woman: My partner and I met on the beach so basically we want our wedding cake to have that theme but I don’t want a traditional fondant cake that’s why I want you to do it for me.

Sheya: You said the motif is beige. I am thinking of a 3 tiered n.a.k.e.d cake. During the taste test you chose the unicorn bubblegum flavor, i can change the color to match your motif but same taste, same texture. There will be sand made of graham at the bottom followed by starfishes trying to reach the second layer then different kinds of shell for the next layer and for the cake topper will be the groom carrying his mermaid bride. What do you think about that?

Woman: I think its awesome!

Doing a wedding cake is not a simple task. Some bridezillas will agree with the sketch then change everything within an hour, some are obsessive and will call dozen times to make sure the details match their expectations and Sheya is very much aware of this so she made several back up plans in case the unexpected happens.

While working on the sugar paste, the thought of her ex boyfriend marrying someone else occurred in her mind. His name is Toby. They were together for a long time and her heart was broken into pieces when he ended their relationship. Being with a guy who claimed that marriage is just a piece of paper then to see him marrying this new girl he had only known for barely a year made it more difficult for Sheya to believe if she will ever find love again.

For now she she is in love with her cafeteria, her team, her cakes and other creations. She is also trying to fall in love with herself because she gave her all to the last person she shared her life with but she was never enough for him and that made her question her worth as a woman.
