I made this cake for a baby shower a few years go, but wanted to post pics on here. It was for a couple who were from Texas and loved "all things Texas." The cake really was 3 cakes and a pan of brownies, but they were "magically" transformed into a Barn, 2 haystacks, and a hoedown dance floor...all at the "Baby C" Ranch. The barn, a 5.5 layer cake, was "decorated" with sunflowers and bluebonnets...the mom's favorite flowers. I used the same color frosting as the haystacks spread all over the tablecloth to make the barnyard, and graham cracker crumbs to make a path/dirt road. It was my first attempt at a project this "big," and it wasn't perfect, but I thought it looked pretty amazing when it was done. 7 boxes of cake mix, 1 box of brownie mix, 28 eggs, 4 cups of oil, 3 lbs of powdered sugar, 13 cans of ready-made icing, 10 graham crackers, 5 cake boards and 5 dowel rods later...It became the "Baby C Ranch." Makes me hungry. Enjoy the pics...
Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
