This post is for my favorite son. OK, you got me. He is my only son, but still. His 12th birthday was Sunday, October 13. I can't believe it has been 12 years since he came into our lives. It has been such an incredible ride, and a complete honor being his mommy. AND I am so excited to see what the next 12+ years bring.
The recipes that I used to make this cake have all been posted, but I promised him that I would share this cake.
Cake (posted on August 1, 2013) - I split the batter in two 9 x 13 pans.
Raspberry Buttercream Frosting (posted on July 5, 2013) I used a double batch to fill and dirty ice the cake. I used half a batch for the decorations, and had lots of left overs. I didn't add the extract, but used red gel coloring to color it.
Fondant (found on The Chaplain's Wife blog) - So, it turns out I didn't post this recipe. This is the blog where I found the recipe. It really is an amazing recipe, and works really well. My only recommendation is to make sure you use LOTS of powdered sugar to "flour" and "re-flour" your surface while you are rolling it out.
I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we did. I would love to hear how it works out for you, and for what occasion you make it.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
