Today was Katy's baby shower for her soon to be bundle of joy Brooklynn. I decided that I wanted to take on the duty of making the cake. My FAVORITE shows are the amazing cake ones like ace of cakes and cake boss so I really wanted to try it and see if I was able to make an "amazing cake". I did a practice cake for my sister's 15th birthday to see if I could handle the job.
It turned out pretty good and tasted delicious! I'm very glad I did a trial run before I made the baby shower cake because I knocked out the bumps and was able to make Katy's cake relatively easily.
I made a Red Velvet cake with Buttercream frosting for the shower.
Courtney! You are so cute... and that cake is amazing! I hope all is well! xoxo.

ReplyDeleteThanks lauren and jess! of course i will make you one for your bday :) just slip me a request of the colors and ill whip one up!
ReplyDeleteI just want to say...WOW! I am in awe of how smooth and precise your fondant work is on that cake. I have tried using fondant before, and it is harder (I thought) than it seems. So props to you---and you even colored it so evenly. And I love that you are cultivating a new talent!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It was a lot of fun to make :) I bought a fondant smoother from the cake supply store (off of Jefferson), that's my trick... and hiring my little sister to cut out and smooth the circles helped a lot!
