This was the first cake I decided to go "extreme" with. It was for one of my best friend's, Megan, Birthday. She loves zebra print! My friend Stephanie a.k.a. Bonesaw, was my partner in crime for this project.
We tag-teamed on the whole thing. I came home from school that afternoon, baked 7 cakes in 2 hours, fondanted the 2 tiers, and stacked them. Bonesaw came to pick it up while I went to work, she rolled out the black fondant, cut and stuck on the stripes, colored, traced, and cut out the "M" and "19" and then there was this! We had planned this cake for a long time, scanning each other pictures back and forth while we were in school- 45 minutes away from each other. Megan (Merg) LOVED her cake! It was a great surprise after her surprise dinner at LaRosa's that evening!
One of my best friends, Robert, always has all of our friends over for New Year's Eve. And this year when he asked us to bring food to share, I decided to bring a Funfetti cake to share. (Funfetti is EVERYONE'S favorite) This was my first attempt at doing non-traditional cake shaping.
My Uncle Dave is a HUGE UC fan, and even though I go to Xavier, I decided that it would be nice to make him a UC cake for his birthday. Yes, that's some serious love. There wasn't a speck of Xavier blue in that cake either. ;)
