Cakes for corn snakes
October 3, 2010
For a while I have been looking for a new display unit for the cakes on display in the shop. People really enjoy coming into the shop and actually seeing the cakes that we make as opposed to just looking at the photo albums. We have always had some cakes on display but they get grubby pretty quickly and of course there is the problem of them being touched often and broken. I eventually found a company that makes up shop displays and received their quote with a picture of the new unit. Besides that it was very expensive, I was concerned that it wouldn’t actually suit the style of shop. Make no mistake it was a stunning unit, very neat and clean lines with a light fitted to showcase the cakes even better. It was just too neat and modern for our style shop.
I had shown the girls the new display and we were discussing it when Peta says “that actually looks like a vivarium”. For anyone else who doesn’t know what a vivarium is, it’s a glass front reptile house that looks like a display unit. We found one for sale on Gumtree in the area – comes with UV light, snake log, suitable for corn snake, fortunately did not include snake. Added bonus; less than a third of the price. We gave the unit a good clean and left a container of vanilla essence inside for a while to get rid of the reptile smell while we got busy on the new cakes. I always knew bicarb removed odours but vanilla essence is far more efficient. We replaced the UV light with a florescent light and filled the new display unit with our cakes.
It looks amazing! The display cakes are stunning and kept dust free. We have tried to make a variety of designs to showcase just how creative we can be and for you to actually see the attention to detail. I hope when you next come into the shop to order a cake these cakes will inspire and delight you.
