Pink, pink and more pink...
A few weeks ago, my cousin, Karen, aka my best customer, asked me to make a small cake for a "Sprinkle" she and her friends were throwing for their friend, Deb. The only theme I was told was "pink" since this will be her first girl after a few boys. I've been wanting to try a quilting technique I have seen, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Since these ladies are classy people, I didn't want to "baby" the cake up too much with storks and bears and such. I just wanted it to be pretty in pink. I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and topped it with pink fondant and candy pearls.
I told my cousin to tell people not to look to close. Its like a Monet, from far away, it looks pretty, but up close its a big old mess. (Bonus points if you get the movie reference).
I love the quilting technique and hope to perfect it in the near future.
I had some leftover ribon and a cake box. I always think it makes it extra special when it arrives in a nice package!
And the mommy-to-be. I've never met you, Deb, but I'm sure your little girl will be precious! Congratulations!
This is such a pretty cake. Simple and classy!
