Birthday Cake




this cake I made for a friend's daughter, Victoria who turned 9. She likes the colors blue and green so I thought these shades looked pretty together. I used a chocolate cake recipe from my Confetti Cakes book and made a chocolate buttercream filling. I decided to make this cake 2 days prior to her birthday and learned a lot for my future cake making, that things will move a lot faster if I had made all the cake topppings in advance. (I had made a fondant tiara cake topper but unfortunately it wasn't completly dry, so I had to make fondant stars. Each was attached to floral wire and curling ribbon.
