My dear friend Kristina celebrated her birthday this weekend. I was so happy to be able to give her a cake she loved. Kris I love you and I'm do grateful for you and our friendship!!




I did not take photos of this cake before delivery, so please excuse my husbands hands in the photos. The table cloth on the table was causing the photos to come out strange so I had my hubby hold the cake so I could get a photo with a dark back round. (thanks babe :))

The birthday girls favorite cake is red valet and so that's what she got on her day. This was the 1st time making a RV cake from scratch and it turned out GREAT!! I mixed some vanilla butter cream with cream cheese frosting and used as the filling (yummy!) I wish I had a photo after we cut the cake. It was a deep beautiful red color. Cake is covered and decorated with rolled fondant.

The cake gods were on my side during delivery. While driving the cake stand tipped over. I quickly pulled over and while holding my breath I picked up the stand and NOTHING had happened to the cake!! I could not believe it. I wiped the sweat from my brow and set off again. Due to he heat in AZ I did have to scrap a pick letter K that I had on top. I was OK with it in the end as I LOVED how this cake turned out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRIS!!!!!!!

A-S-U!!! Love this cake. Was made for a huge ASU fan (for his 9th b-day) This cake is completely edible, Sparky and all. 9 inch square white cake with vanilla butter cream filling. All decorating is rolled fondant.

Three layer 8 inch round vanilla cake with the yummiest (is that a word?) Ghirardelli Chocolate filling. With the left over filling we were dipping fresh strawberries, let me tell you it was a little slice of heave in my kitchen that evening. I love the colors on this cake. They all came out really nice. The pink and green are fun and girly without being over the top.

We had a few friends over for the 4th of July and I whipped this cake together (cuz, it's not a real party with out a cake! right?) People kept saying how pretty the cake was with the fresh fruit and it be red, white and blue. It was a real hit. I had a little surprise for them.....................Red, white and blue on the inside as well!! Was very happy with how true the colors turned out.
Happy Birthday America!!
