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!

  4. Hi Amanda!
    I usually do not post comments. I’m a creeper on your site (who happens to share your birthday) and wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I admire your work! This cake is stunning. I love love the braided effect on the sides and that small understated heart on the inside just makes it all the more. I don’t even have a word that explains how much it made me smile… it just did. It inspired me and I thank you!

    Keep up the great work and I would love to see a tutorial on how this cake was done if you ever feel like sharing.
