Success! Sort of ...

So if you talked to me much at all last week, you would have known how utterly excited I was to begin construction on a Barbie cake for my wonderful daycare lady's little girl's birthday. I was so excited that I dreamt about it for at least two days before and the night before, I had to will myself to go to sleep! Well, the construction was a success! We made it on Friday night and cut it at the party on Saturday afternoon. It looked great and tasted great, stayed standing overnight, and the birthday girl thought it was pretty neat too!

It's triple later, with the top later being a trimmed-up bundt cake. The layers had home-made chocolate frosting, and the outside was vanilla frosting.

After having such a success with this, I thought I'd try making a double layer cake with easy-pour fondant on Sunday. Well, that didn't work out so well.... In fact, I didn't even get to the fondant because I had made such a mess of the cake. But Bill and I cut ourselves a piece and happily ate it anyways. It wasn't pretty, but it was still good.

Next on my list... Red Velvet Cake Balls.
