Designs/Colors
Pictures are welcomed. But I do not copy/duplicate/replicate cakes. I will incorporate all major themes of the cake example, but not create the same exact cake. I make every cake unique to SweetThangs, and will not copy another Baker’s work. Colors will be interpreted to the best of my ability. Please be specific. If you want a specific color please provide color/fabric swatch (pictures are not swatches). Food color reacts differently, and can also change after sitting for more than 6 hours. ); photography can make colors appear differently as well. I can guarantee to match the hues within 4 colors (dark/warm when swatches are provided.
