The Pink Cake!

Ok so this November, I decided to throw a double baby shower for two of my friends... Mandy and Dianna... they were both expecting their third baby and they were both expecting girls...they were also due around the same time... So why not? right?

I got everything together and asked a few friends and neighbors to help contribute to the food and decorations! I was going to bring the center piece!! The cake! It took me three whole days of searching online for the right design... if finally found it, but the cake online was for a baby shower for a little boy... so I spent another day searching for the right colors of pink for our baby shower! It was really fun to do...

Once I decided on a design, I called my friend Betsey to help me with the cake. I was going to pay her to do it all, because she makes cakes on the side, and then I thought I should try and do it myself... with her help!

I stared to bake the cakes. The first one came out OK, but for the second layer I had to bake 3 cakes just to get it right.. the others all crumbled to pieces and we needed something sturdy for the fondant to sit on!

Then Betsey came over and it took us about a hour and a half to turn white fondant to dark brown... it was hard.. my hands hurt just thinking about all the kneading we did to get it right... so around midnight we were finally done with the cake! ... what do you think?


I don't think I can do this for a living.. it was fun but alot of hard work!
