For Matt's 31st birthday, I tried out my new Cricut Cake!
This thing is very cool, but it definitely has a learning curve. It took me awhile to get the hang of it, but I think once I get used to it, I will be able to make some pretty cute things.
The Saturday before Matt's birthday, we drove to Allentown to visit with his grandfather who is in from Puerto Rico. Luke got to meet his great grandfather for the first time! It was a great day, and I made Matt's favorite cake...vanilla cake with vanilla bean frosting. I'm not sure what I did with the recipe, but the cake was a little dry. The icing was fantastic, though. Soooo buttery and smooth!
The directions for the Cricut say that gumpaste works best, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I think I like it a little better than fondant, but again, I need some practice with it.
Some of the more intricate designs need to be cut out at larger sizes...
This was Matt's first birthday cake that said, "Daddy."
He was extremely happy when Luke helped him blow out his candles.
Happy 31st birthday, Matt. Luke and I love you so much!
