While in Florida, I was just itching to get my hands into some baking. And the opportunity presented itself. It was our good friend's birthday while we were down there. He was seeing his last year in his twenties, turning the big 29, so we baked him a cake. A chocolate cake with cookies and cream ice cream underneath, all iced with chocolate buttercream and decorated with fondant music notes and guitar. This was a request from David and Kari, as they both thought ice cream cake sounded yummy, and this was Dave's favourite cake! It doesn't turn out to look the prettiest, but it sure tastes good, if I do say so myself.
The next cake was a 60th birthday cake for a very special friend of ours back home. She was thrown a surprise 60th birthday party (for her birthday is not until June) - what a great surprise! The 6 was a carrot cake and the 0 was lemon poppyseed, all iced with a cream cheese icing. There was also a very special request for money to be placed in the cake - how fun! Everyone loved the cake, and she had a lovely day celebrating with her friends and family.
