Birthday Gift


This is the first of my donation cakes and cookies. The lady who won the ZEF auction requested this cake for her daughter's birthday.
She requested 'chocolate frosting with white polka-dots.' I jazzed it up a little with the pink bow and dragies to look like a broach. The bow design is inspired by the incomparable Sharon Zambito of SugarEd Productions or 'SugarShack' on CakeCentral. I have used the dotted impression 'mat' on several of my bows. This was a plastic mat that is designed to line drawers to keep utensils from sliding, that I purchased at IKEA. Cake decorators seem to find creative uses for household items. {smile}
The cake was vanilla white cake with milk chocolate ganache filling, chocolate buttercream and chocolate fondant.
