After reading her glowing reviews all over the web and seeing the beautiful pictures of all the cakes Penny had designed over the years, I had really high expectations for my cake. I talked to Penny about creating a wedding cake with a peacock feather design that (in hindsight) was too complex to execute. Despite the fact that I met with Penny twice and communicated with her numerous times over email, she never mentioned that the design was simply to hard to emulate. When the cake was delivered on my wedding day, I have to say, it looked nothing like what I had envisioned. Despite the fact that my guests loved it (they had no idea what it was supposed to look like) and it tasted delicious, I was slightly disappointed in the end result. The one thing I would tell a prospective client is that Penny is a sculptor not a painter. The design has to be of an object and not of a painting. And then, I would hire Penny again (you cannot beat the taste of the cake) but ask for a different design.
> This is the cake made for Suela.

While it is truly a shame that she did not love it just as much as we did, it was without a doubt a showstopper and embraced the inspiration provided.
