Bridal Shower Cake

 I've often fantasized about creating a magical, whimsical cake with fondant and gumpaste and buttercream, oh my! I think, how hard could it really be?

Then the fear sets in that it could actually be extremely hard and I could end up with cake on the ceiling, a slip n' slide of icing on the floor, and a boyfriend that is about 5 minutes away from committing the now crazy, babbling zombie that used to be his somewhat normal girlfriend. This is the story of my first paid cake job.

Happy Valentine's Day!

To the entire female population, this day brings the anticipation of chocolates, flowers, and spending a night torn from the comfort of their favorite sweatpants (..just me?).

So, in honor of this universal day of love I have created a treat literally filled with it.
