At yesterday’s 2 p.m. consult, the groom said rustic, I heard woodland poetry, and my sketch suddenly grew a sugar stag before we realized he just wanted textured buttercream and zero antlers. Do you ever play translator between starry-eyed visions and actual tiers, or is it just me swooning over sugar peonies while they mean no fondant?
Same here — , at a 2 p.m — consult “rustic” meant textured buttercream, not woodland poetry. > antlers. Do you ever play translator between starry-eyed visions and actual tiers, or is — yep, so I kick off with a 60‑second vocab check: rustic = palette‑knife texture, semi‑naked, or woodland extras; they tap one and I sketch, zero sugar stag detours. Do you run that before the tasting or once the pencils come out?
At 2 p.m. consults I use a ‘rustic spectrum’ card — textured buttercream to stag — then confirm ‘no fondant,’ unless antlers are nonnegotiable.
