So many things have changed since I first posted my Rose Cake on this day last year.

I had a baby.

Got a new job.

And have gotten to know some amazing people.

You guys.

Thanks for the support.  The laughter.  The challenges.  The inspiration.

I am so thankful that you are willing to share some of yourself here.

So today (Feb. 1st) , on my thirty-fifth birthday, I want you to know that

You are my gift.

Thank you!

If you like this cake, you can see many more like it in my new book, Surprise-Inside Cakes!  Almost all the cakes in my book have never been published before, so it’s all new tutorials and recipes!

Share with your friends!

  9. I had this cake stand- HAD as in past tense! I put too much on the glass shelves in my china cabinet and right after Christmas I heard a major crash and the shelf that held this cake stand along with so many other pretties CRASHED! We call it the great crystal disaster of 2011! Well, I couldn’t part with the base and my plans are to have it smoothed out and attach a platter to the top! I am going to make this heart cake and display it proudly on it!!! RIP beautiful stand! You are an inspiration to all of us decorator want -to -bes! Thank you!
