Me: Sure, anything in mind?
Mickey: Yes, it needs to be a llama in a hat.

Okay then.
It had been a while since I made a cake, and well, the first llama... in a hat. This cake also had to taste fab! She was bringing it to the local country club to celebrate with the staff, 3 of which are chefs, one of which is a pastry chef. Double pressure as far as I am concerned. It has to taste and look fabulous. – I mean, it always should. Now, I am used to creative pressure, it's what I do but this was culinary pressure, a whole different ballgame.
I decided to do a lemon-blueberry cake with lemon buttercream frosting.
I did do am Instagram story as I evolved.
Here is how it went...
