*Tutorial HERE!

I have been dreaming about this cake for about a month.

Dreaming of layers that went up and down instead of horizontally.

Dreaming of obscene amounts of delicate frosting roses.

Dreaming of a variety of flavors.

And finally, my dream has come true.

Normally I share recipes and techniques and design aspects and every detail I can think of sharing… and maybe I will do that if anyone cares to know. But for now, I just want to enjoy it.

Why?

Because tomorrow (Feb. 1st) is my birthday. And I wanted to make myself a cake! (that’s me getting sassy with myself)

I just want to sit back, relax, and have a piece.

But I do wish I could share it with you.

Share with your friends!
