House Cake Project ? Dedication Cake

I’ve been seriously lacking in the “recipe” department lately, but that will change VERY soon! Today marks two weeks until our big moving day, and then I’ll be puttering around our new kitchen…

There has been ONE thing I’ve been able to get done in the kitchen though, and that’s another cake! My niece’s dedication was last weekend, and I was honoured to be asked if I could make a cake for the lunch gathering afterwards. I wanted to do something girly, but not too over the top. Purple was a key colour for this cake. I also decided to try out a few new things on this cake. I did a bit of a pattern on the top-tier, made my own chocolate “dough” for some roses, and even made some fabric out of fondant!

This was definitely a learning experience, and a whole lot of fun!

Here's the second drawing of an idea I had (after I realized the first drawing wouldn't work out...)

The roses I made First time I've ever made flowers...
