Week #1 – Mom’s Birthday Cake

The first cake in my 52 cakes!

Today is my mom’s 65th birthday! In order to celebrate her birthday I wanted to make her a fabulous cake.  This cake is vanilla cake brushed with kalua and vanilla Italian buttercream.  It’s covered with purple fondant and adorned with sugar flowers and a gumpaste bow.

I traveled to DC with the cake in a cardboard box and it arrived in tact!  Score one for my packing abilities. Should have taken a picture of the packing. It was almost a pretty as the cake!

We didn’t eat the cake while I was down there so we’ll have to wait to hear from my folks when they slice it open.
