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. Awww…. the cake is like sweet words that you say to someone, and when you see the little heart inside you get to the real emotion of the words. Love it! Even though you posted about your birthday (not today) on my birthday (today – Jan. 31st). Happy semi-shared birthday!
