It all started out great enough, no cracked cakes when I took them out of the pan, bottom layer a french vanilla with a yummy cream cheese coffee filling, and the second layer a lemon on lemon cake... absolutely essential for summer!
The day I started decorating ended up being a hectic day with several van loads of moving stuff to get through. Around 3pm I decided that I should check out my cake supplies and see that I have everything I need, and of course I end up doing a run to Michaels. In my time crunch, I make a decision to "cheat" and buy pre-colored fondant and flower cut-outs and 'tweak" the design of the cake a bit. The end result was not quite the cake that was dancing around in my head as I finished around 10pm... Do you know that I always end up this way? I am still in search of my "perfect" cake, but until then I will just keep on trying! Luckily for me, I have awesome friends who praise the cuteness of my cake and graciously overlook the not-quite-smooth icing, the fondant colors running down the cake, and the ever so adorable patch where my daughters hand smashed into the side from the ride up! THIS is what keeps me going, and wanting to try again :) I make cakes to honor those I love and want to please in a special way, and the love I get back is truly immeasurable and keeps me grateful for my family and friends. So in honor of "Expect the Unexpected" here is my dear friend Kathylee's Sprinkle cake that turned out ok in spite of me!!!!
