Birthday Cake


This cake was a lot of firsts for me- first time being paid for a birthday cake, first sheet cake, and first time using fondant decorations on buttercream. I was given some paper plates that I was supposed to match to the cakes. It was fun and went fairly smoothly. I didn't put enough meringue powder in the icing so it didn't crust as well as I would have liked- I need to look at the recipe and measure things every once in a while. Other than that, it turned out well. I changed the color of the #1 on top at the very last- hence the two pics...
