She wasn't supposed to be born for another five weeks but came a little early. I tried out a new technique 'painted flowers'. After piping the icing on for the flowers you wet a paint brush and brush it in to the center. I really like the look of it. Of course I also love brown and pink. <br /><br />It's a white chocolate cake with white chocolate cream cheese filling and lime filling.

He did a fabulous job and I wanted to thank him in a fun way. The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant and all the 'toppings' are also fondant. I liked how the toppings came out. The 'cheese' is just grated which makes it look so real. I freehand cut the mushrooms and the peppers and used a #10 tip (I think) bottom to cut the olives and then the tip to cut the centers. I struggled and struggled with the 'dough' for some reason I couldn't achieve the right color for the crust. Also the height is an issue- but when you want to fill it so it's yummy it's going to be taller.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9039523561217090403-3567806259127019261?l=a-cake-a-week.blogspot.com'/></div>Ambernoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039523561217090403.post-34251670450673181752007-01-29T10:00:00.000-08:002008-12-11T13:30:36.846-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HfnI_cU1tJY/Rb42p0GYGcI/AAAAAAAAAIg/TcLncah-FQk/s1600-h/Baseball+lighter.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HfnI_cU1tJY/Rb42p0GYGcI/AAAAAAAAAIg/TcLncah-FQk/s320/Baseball+lighter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025514326179977666" border="0" /></a>Chocolate cake with chocolate cream puff filling, buttercream frosting and decorations.
