I am not as talented as some of you are in the kitchen. Actually, I am quite a klutz in most things I do creatively but I am attempting to make Olivia's 1st birthday cake. YIKES! What am I thinking? Well, my dear sister in-law, Cami, makes beautiful cakes (she made my wedding cake) and I imposed on her for advice and prayed that her talent would come to me through some magical power. Well, I am not even as close as she is to excellence but I made a trial first time cake. And her advice has been helpful. Liv's birthday isn't for one more month but knowing how much time I need to prepare I figure one month gives me time to practice.
Here is a sneak preview of what her birthday cake with sort of look like. Yes there is fondant and yes this is my first time using it and it shows.However, I am proud of my accomplishment and hopefully by April I will wow you all with my cake making skills.
It looks a lot bigger in the pictures than it is. It is 6" by about 4" totally not a cube but a rectangle. :)

My first thought was "WOW!" Amy, well done! My mom-in-law makes amazing cakes and I always want to learn how. I'm just not sure I have the patience necessary to decorate an entire cake. I'm very proud of you. I'll call you when Libby turns 2 so you can make her cake. She really likes Care Bears so get those ideas ready. Oh, by the way, we love you and miss you!
Way to go! You Domestic Diva! I'm in Awe!
NICE JOB! I love it, I think it looks fantastic! You did great and should be so proud. Que bueno!!!
You did a great job. I miss all your baking creations that you used to bring into work. They were always delicious! I can't believe Liv is almost 1!!
