Lucas' 1 Year Birthday Cake
Monday, January 26, 2009 Posted by Piera Jolly
For Lucas' birthday last year, I bought two round cakes from Publix. I told them to only minimally frost the cake and not to do any piping around the edges or decoration whatsoever. I bought some wooden dowels, chocolate candy melts, fondant, and an unfinished wooden 1. I tiered the cake myself and made a white ribbon from the fondant to go along the bottom edge of the cake. Then, I stuck some of the candy melts onto the cake with a bit of buttercream frosting. The wooden 1, I painted to coordinate with the cake. It turned out great and it was SO inexpensive!
Ok, ladies, I can't wait to see yours! I had to take Mr. Linky down again because it is slowing down my blog again. I don't know what's up with that! Make sure to leave me a comment so that I can check yours out!

That is awesome! I love it! I'll have to remember this next time! Curious... what kind of frosting did you use? I know you said you had them lightly frost it.. but did you frost it too?

You did the fondant? I am impressed and will never show another picture of anything I attempt to bake ever again LOL

That is a great idea! I have been wanting to try decorating with fondant...mind you that I am a beginning decorator!
My MSM is up!

Wow! That's a great idea. I know you said it was inexpensive, but do you mind sharing approx. how much it cost you (all said and done)?

It looks so very delicious! I made a fondant cake for my son's birthday last Sept but that was b/4 I was blogging. I may have to write about it now though!

So this is the first time I have participated in Make Something Monday and I see your post and my first thought is to pull my post down... you are so talented.
I have decided to leave my post up but be warned... it ain't pretty.

How lovely! Wish I could make things like that!
January 26, 2009 7:23 PM
You are seriously a bit of a genious..I don't know where you would ever come up with an idea to do that. But, I would never be able to do something like that, and have it come out looking like that! It looked amazing!
(And don't be jealous of me and my Make Something Monday craftiness...okay? heee hee, go look!)

Whoa, you are super talented--mind sharing your talent with me?
Anyhow, I participated in my first MSM, but it pales in comparison--but at least it's relevant to my job :o)

I think I'm stressed in getting ready hence why I'm not yet excited. Have to think of everything to pack plus extras for both kids. Soooo happy the boy is now in briefs. Whooooo!
Oh and if you could fold yourself like a diaper I'd throw you in my suitcase and put diapers over you for our trip :)
Ttys.
