Thoughtful Motherhood - Little Girl's Birthday Cake

Dec. 3, 2007 - Little Girl's Birthday Cake

I had the pleasure of making a cake for one of the little girls at church this weekend. I thought I would inclue a photo.

The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant (MMF). It is so much tastier than the Wilton store-bought fondant. It seemed harder to work with, but I probably needed to add more powdered sugar. The '2' is a cardboard cutout, covered in fondant. I wasn't too happy with it, but my original plan of making a loop bow for the top fell through, so I had to come up with an alternative.

The recipe for MMF is here. If you are interested in cake decorating, this is a great website. www.cakecentral.com

Awesome! I love it!! Cake making is a talent I've always wished I had. I've made a couple of good cakes so far, but more times than not, my attempts have resulted in us rushing out last minute to buy a DQ ice cream cake and me crying (just a little) about the disaster!

I love it and it's inspiring. For some reason my girls want a polka dot birthday next year.

About Me

I'm an almost ordinary mom. I'm a bit quirky in my tendency toward conspiracy theory and activism. I shout at the tv, which drives my hubby crazy. I was once a single mom of one son and God redeemed me with an amazing husband who loved us both. Later, God took my barren womb and knit together three little men in two and half years, and then shocked the stuff out of us knitting together a little lady. This blog is totally random, following the trends that only occur in my mind. My biggest aim is to live my life more joyfully and more thoughtfully.
