My mom is not a fan of fondant or a fan of cakes for that matter. However, when you're celebrating milestone you have to have cake! So, purple being on of her favourite colours I decided to decorate it with a purple buttercream almond flavour. The cake itself was a recipe from the Wilton site also flavoured with almond. The birthday girl was most pleased.
Clover never ceases to amaze me in what challenge she dreams up for me to do for her son's birthday cake. This year was no disappointment! The baking was the easy part for this cake! The cake was technically a 3 tiered cake that was about 9" x 10". The tiers were separated with a half inch black cake board cut down to size. The bottom was chocolate, then vanilla and then cookies and cream. All were covered in vanilla butter cream before being covered in red fondant. Thankfully Mr T's cousin Amanda was over visiting for the weekend and ended up helping me a lot with the cake. She built the handle for me using cardboard and electrical tape. She also told me that it was customary to have stickers on your toolbox so I printed off some plumber related ones and laminated them. We even got the cake done early and delivered. Woohoo! Can't wait for next year's challenge! That's a joke. P.S. Now in my Instagram and ...
She certainly was and the cake was delicious.
