Happy Valentine's Day!!

My FIL asked me to make a chocolate cake for him and he always lets me do whatever as far as decorating them.  I love it because it gives me a chance to try new things and he always appreciates it.  I love having the chance to add to my "portfolio."

I've never attempted a lace type of design before.  First of all, I should get something to help mark garland if I'm gonna keep doing it!  I just eyeballed the spacing so they arent all even.  But it was a lot of fun.

Catch-up

Wow, my third post for the day!  I'm attempting to make this blog a little more personable...I don't have a lot of time to bake/decorate so I won't be able to post often, but when I do get the time to decorate, I want to post more. :)

This cake was made for new years eve for Jay's gran's birthday. (His dad, my father-in-law, ordered it for his mom, hence it saying "Happy Birthday Mom".) It was an 8" round chocolate cake with IndyDebi's buttercream.  I wrote a Bible verse on the side from the book of Proverbs: "Her children will rise up and call her blessed."  I love that verse.  Actually, I love all of Proverbs.  Oliver (my almost 18-month-old) and I read a chapter from Proverbs in the morning during our breakfast.

Gran loved the cake and that made me so happy :)))
