If you have read my blog for any length of time you know that I like to bake cakes. Well, to be a little more specific, I like to decorate cakes. For my mom's birthday I created this. (click here here and here for some other posts with cakes I've done.)
I'm a little disappointed with how the bow turned out. The color was much darker before the fondant dried. I think it looks like bubble tape. You know, the kind you get in the roll - by the foot. The pattern rolled into the fondant that covers the cake stretched as I placed it on top. Overall, I'm pleased since this is only the 2nd (ok, counting all of the practice cakes for Hannah's birthday it's more like the 4th) cake I've done using fondant. Nehemiah's birthday cake is going to require at least one practice round as well. You won't get to see that though... not until the finished masterpiece is revealed. :) Stay tuned.
disclaimer... if you looked at those other cake pictures...and if you noticed that there are no pictures of Nehemiah's birthday cakes...and you think that maybe the 2nd child in our house is being neglected... I am not a horrible mother. Pictures were taken. Many. Many. For real. I have pictures of his birthday. Cake and all. I just didn't post them. really. He's not neglected. We give him cake. ;)
