My cousin's daughter is getting baptized tomorrow and I volunteered to make a cake for her baptism. Who knows why I get myself into these situations because I haven't done anything all week except work on this. I learned a lot as I was working on it...I learned that I will never do a sheet cake again.
This is a 12" X 18" double layer sheet cake and it took both Dan and I to figure out how to layer it without it breaking into a thousand pieces of crumbs. I'm happy how it turned out, but need to figure out how to write with icing-definitely not a forte of mine.
The roses are made out of fondant as well as the leaves and stripes up the side. The roses are what took me forever to make. I'm sure you're thinking, "what's up with all the pink cakes?" I don't really have an answer for that except that pink is my favorite color (except this cake was specifically requested to be pink).
I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that this cake is done. Anybody have a special order?

That cake is beautiful! I am sooo impressed, you are so talented!
Looks like I have myself some competition! Although I don't think I've ever worked in pink, so you can have that market...
