it's great to be.....CAKE!....uh and 8.

So, I made a baptism cake for my two cousins, hunter and jackson. : ) It was super fun and this time instead of doing a fun cake i attempted to do a more fancy cake. All in all I like how it turned out. I was going to do the silver leafing on it too but ran out of time! : ( Anyway, also this time everything was homemade...it was buttercake with buttercream in between each layer, covered in almond and vanilla flavored fondant, and decorated with royal icing. It took probably around 24 hours but was super fun to make!

cutting the cake layers straight is really hard...

put frosting in between each layer : P

then covered the whole thing in frosting

then kneaded and rolled out the fondant

and covered the cake with it...then i piped a strand of pearls around the edge

and piped designs and hunter and jackson's initials

i painted the top section with white pearl dust

and the bottom section with blue pearl dust

then painted the piping with silver pearl dust and some with white

WALAH!!!
