cake

last year i resolved to learn how to use fondant. I know it wasn’t a particularly important or soul stirring resolution, but one i wanted to achieve, nonetheless.

one year came and went fondant-less.

i made the same resolution last month thinking that maybe this year would be the one.

this year probably would not have been fondant-full either if my talented friend Melissa hadn’t come along.

she offered me a spot in a small cake class she was teaching. I immediately said, “yes and please.”

it just so happened that the class was a few days before shelby’s birthday, so I made a special cake for my girl this year.

shelby’s favorite color (this month) is purple, so a purple cake it became.

  1. Sara, you are so talented! It's gorgeous. Did you do marshmallow fondant? And do you have a yummy buttercream recipe? I've been trying to find one but haven't had great success.
