Isn't she lovely??

I have not been able to post because I have been so busy commuting. LA traffic is horrendous! I sit in traffic most of the day...

So I thought I'd share this pretty cake with you! My daughter have always wanted a princess cake, like this one. She googles it, and goes on utube on how to make it. She even told me the techniques and tips on how to decorate a cake after watching the utube videos! It was funny, awhile back I was trying to frost a cake, I was using a bread knife. (I am not good at things like that...I didn't know that you are not supposed to frost a cake using a butter knife. Anyhow, the frosting kept on clumping up and tearing into the cake. Sad to say, I had to go get a cake spreader-spatula-thingy....

This is WHAT I wished my cake looked like:

Even though you didn't share a photo of your cake, I'm sure it was wonderful because it was made with love. Using a spatula to ice cakes just takes a little practice and make sure your icing is thin enough to spread easily (but not so thin that it falls off the cake).

Who cares what it looked like! The fun is in trying something new and doing something special with family ;-) You get stars for trying!!

Love the fact that you tried - aim to please - they don't know a bad decorating job from another and you just spent major quality time with them! You rock!

Children don't see the "mistakes" - they just see the pretty princess they were looking for - I'm sure it was a big hit :)
