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!

  2. Wow! This is soo cute! I, too, hope that you will do a tutorial! I’ve been thinking really hard about how you’d have done this, but all I can come up with is that you found heart-shaped fruit roll-ups or something like that and baked them into the cake…
    P l e a s e do a turorial so I can bake this for my hubby for Valentine’s Day! Please?

  5. Amanda- your blog is one of the first blogs I began reading a while back. While I do own a bakery, the best instruction on cake decoration is from great blogs, like yours. Often times I tell everyone who wants to decorate cakes is to start reading blogs and then I tell them about you! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. We are so blessed. Happy Birthday!
