I have been dreaming about this cake for about a month.

Dreaming of layers that went up and down instead of horizontally.

Dreaming of obscene amounts of delicate frosting roses.

Dreaming of a variety of flavors.

And finally, my dream has come true.

Normally I share recipes and techniques and design aspects and every detail I can think of sharing… and maybe I will do that if anyone cares to know. But for now, I just want to enjoy it.

Why?

Because tomorrow (Feb. 1st) is my birthday. And I wanted to make myself a cake! (that’s me getting sassy with myself)

I just want to sit back, relax, and have a piece.

But I do wish I could share it with you.

Share with your friends!

  6. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! May Our L-rd Bless you with a wonderful year!
    Oh PLEASE do share your recipe and techniques. I always make birthday cakes for my family and I never make one for me because I think that one day my family will make me one, but they don’t because they are afraid to try. I soo would love to have a beautiful cake for just me and I will make it myself. This is gorgeous and so unique.

  10. That is a truly beautiful cake. When I saw it, I instantly thought, that should have been our wedding cake. Maybe, I’ll try to make it as our anniversary cake if you would be kind enough to share how you made it.
