Last Saturday we celebrated Elizabeth's birthday. She chose what she wanted for supper and I made a girly cake for her. It was also Mom's birthday this week so I made a cake for her too. I had fun with these cakes. I borrowed a couple of books from the library on cake decorating for ideas. I made a cake that was supposed to look like a jewelry box for Elizabeth. It was a white cake with a raspberry filling and fondant 'icing' and decorations. The filling didn't work out very well and the fondant decorations didn't work out quite like it was supposed to, but all in all I think it was a success. A little girl was more than pleased.
For Mom, I made a dozen eggs. They were mini cupcakes with white icing and lemon curd yolks, topped with a white chocolate egg shell, served in an egg carton. They tasted good and were very cute. The egg shell I made by 'painting' the inside of some plastic eggs with white chocolate.
