Does this sound ridiculous?

UPDATE: I spoke with her and she offered to do the whole cake for our budget price!! So happy 💓

Hey ladies so my daughters first birthday is coming up, I’ve already spent around $1500 on decor and the hall and outfit for her, etc. so when it comes to the cake I was looking for a bakery who doesn’t charge a whole lot. The thing is I know this one cake lady who does AMAZING with decor, the bakery I found doesn’t do very good but they are cheap and their cakes TASTE absolutely delicious. So I was planning on the bakery making the cake, but possibly asking the lady I know to just decorate the cake so have the bakery just make a plain two tier cake and then bringing it to the lady to decorate it. I’m not a baker but it is possible to do the decorating after the cake has been baked for a few? (Sorry if that’s a dumb question lol) also, does it sound weird of me to ask the lady to do that? 😩 p.s I plan on doing this for the top tier:

And this as a bottom (just the arrows around the cake and the green strip, NOT the feather and leaf stuff on top):

EDIT: asking specifically about the CAKE. If you are going to judge me on spending the money for my daughters birthday, don’t bother commenting 🙄 should not have to explain myself. If I want to go all out on MY child’s birthday and make her first one as special and amazing as I can, then that is MY choice.
