Zebra Cake with Picture!

Oh, wow! This cake took forever to make! I learned so much from making it, though. I'm not happy about the way the fondant came out as far as 1) the top layer is all pleated on the bottom and 2) the bottom layer tore. I'll have to get more practice with the fondant.

All in all it looks pretty cute! I think the customer will be pretty happy. At least, I hope so!

This cake is chocolate devil's food with butter cream layers. It is covered in fondant with fondant decorations.

Zebra Cake!

I got a new cake order today. I'm so excited because it is precisely the cake I've been wanting to make: round, two-tier with pink, white and black fondant with zebra stripes! I think these are so cute. If my niece wasn't already dreaming of her princess cake for her birthday this summer I'd be begging my SIL to throw her a zebra party. Well, now I at least get to make the cake! And who knows, by this summer my niece my decide on a different cake for her party. (She'll be five! Five going on 15.)

At night, I read blogs. Tons and tons of cake blogs, party blogs, wedding blogs...I love looking at the pictures and the inspiration boards. When I get the chance I need to create a blog roll for my site so you can see my favorite sites and be inspired!

Anyway, I'll post pictures when the cake is done!
