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!

  1. Hi Amanda, I’ve been a lurker on your site enjoying so many wonderful ideas. I love this cake, it’s beautiful braid look and the simplicity. I tried to imitate this cake and it didn’t really come out to my expectations which only shows me what a true ARTIST you are. So I have two questions regarding this lovely creation: 1) what tip did you use for the shells and 2) what is your typical buttercream recipe, because it looks far smoother and more detailed than mine. Mine is somewhat detailed, but not as clean-looking.

    Happy belated birthday, by the way.

  8. Just found this website, after having seen your cakes with surprises in them featured elsewhere for ages! I was wondering if you could tell us how to put a teeny tiny design inside a cake, since I think it’s very clever. I saw you did it with your social media cake too. Any chance for a tutorial?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Happy late Birthday! 🙂
