A wonderful way to say goodbye to one of our favorite girls! We had a blast crashing her party with her CRAZY friends! Z and I brought baked goodies, but ofcourse they were eaten before we got a chance to take a picture! Hope you girls had a great holiday too!

Red Velevt

Ok Guys, so I made a red velevt cake for that Wedding I was telling you about. I was supposed to make the cale for the rehersal dinner & then the bride says they were not having one & I should just bring the cake to the reception. Considering the fact she already had a wedding cake, I thought it was a little strange to bring a cake to the recption. Anyway, I did not want to compete with the cake in any way so I decided to garnish the sides with nuts & I was going to pipe 7 swir;s along the top edge of the cake with 3 dots for each swirl. I was too nervous to pipe directly on the cake so I decided to do it on parchment & then once dry, I could pick up the swirls & place on the cake, Well. I must have piped 50 swirls & they ALL BROKE!! So I decided to tak the broken pieces & make a deisgn. So there you have it!!!
