A Corporate Cake

We were very excited this month to be working with Getech in Leeds as they launched their new branding. We were set the challenge of recreating their logo in cake. It looks like a simple challenge when you first see the logo, but we soon found this was going to be a real test of skill and patience.

Each contour of colour needed to be higher than the other, meaning the middle of the logo would be the lowest point and the furthest contour away from the centre the highest. We were also asked if the cake could be two different flavours, one chocolate and one lemon.

Applying the icing was the trickiest part, on one of the hottest days of the year it was difficult to keep the icing at just the right temperature. Applying the strips of icing to make up the logo was proving to be a real challenge as the icing became too warm and began to break as we moved it. But we persevered, kept the kitchen as cool as possible and finally we managed to get the cake finished and looking like the Getech logo.

It was hard work but extremely satisfying once we had finished the cake and the feedback from Getech was well worth taking on the challenge for...even the founder of Getech commented that our cake "cut like butter!" Brilliant...that's what we like to hear!
