The Cake

I have worked very hard in the last few weeks learning and attempting to make the perfect cake for my sweet Cahill. I decided to make a stack of presents decorated with fondant. I am not quite sure why a chose to make this instead of an easier version. I was determined to not frost the cake with fondant as I did not want to compromise the taste. I started searching for a cream cheese or butter cream frosting that could frost smooth enough to make the cake perfect. Then I had to learn how to make a cake that was perfectly flat and would allow a frosting to be smooth. Then I had to find the perfect recipe for a fondant that tasted good and was easy to manipulate. (fondant is impossible to work with and very insane) To say the least I have learned a ton about cake decorating and my hat goes off to anyone who does this for a living. The pictures below are of the prototype cake. I am still learning a lot and just pray that the cake for her actual Birthday will turn out well. Everyone can rest assured that the cake will have a tremendous amount of love poured into it.
