Birthday Cake

Our sweet Audrey has a December birthday. She is destined to share her special day with the red and green accents of Christmas and to receive the dreaded “two-fer” gifts.

So this year for her third birthday, I wanted to make her a cake that was all about her.

I asked her what she wanted.

Showed her pictures of cakes from previous years, let her dream and wish to her heart’s delight.  It could be any color.  With any embellishment.

She picked the cake with the most possible frosting!

She is clearly her mother’s daughter.

I wanted the cake to do double duty, so I made the top her “smash” cake.  We can remove it when it comes time to eat so she has her very own pink princess cake.  Since the roses are so easy to do, I will bring a bag of white frosting with me and just quick add some to the top before everyone else’s pieces are served.  (Here is the Rose Cake Tutorial)

She hasn’t actually seen it yet (as I hope to surprise her with it tomorrow) but I hope she likes it!

  1. How wonderful! My husband’s birthday is a couple weeks after Christmas, and he always got a “combo” gift which was nothing more than his regular Christmas gift. He felt cheated about it his whole life, so when he saw this he asked me to write and say what a fabulous mommy you are to do this for your December daughter.

  2. What a stunning cake! Any girl regardless of age would love it! That is so funny about picking one with most icing. Happy 3rd Birthday to a very lucky little girl!

  3. Oh, man! I made a birthcake with roses on the top a couple of weeks ago, but I made just a 4 layer cake. The tiered cake is just SO much prettier!! Beautiful job, Amanda!

  4. Sooooooo pretty! I have 2 boys…my son want a tank cake this yr that shoots foan darts out of it…. far cry from the beautiful princess cake ..

  5. Beautiful cake! I come to your site so often to see what sort of wonderful pieces of art you’ve come up with. I’m afraid I have the baking part down, but not the decorating! These roses look amazing and I’m on your daughter’s side… There can never be too much frosting!

  6. This cake is so beautiful; I can’t stop looking at it! It’s certainly an amazing birthday cake for a little girl or could be a show-stopping wedding cake for a “big” girl. I think it’s perfect in white and pale pink and I’m daydreaming about lavender…just gorgeous!

  7. Beautiful cake! I am baking a cake tomorrow for my sisters in laws birthday and would love to do the flowers all over just like this, I have been searching everywhere for how to do it and I cant seem to find a video? How do you do it?! Thank you!
