10" square base is covered in pink MMF. The top 4" layer is covered in pre-colored brown fondant. I love working with fondant. I think the finished cake turns out so nice.
I was teaching my cake class on my birthday and had to make a cake for that anyway. So, I told everyone NOT to make me a cake since I'd have one from my class. I got to make my own birthday cake. It's a coconut cake with coconut flavored frosting. YUM! Happy birthday to me!
On March 8, 2007 I had an opportunity to meet my cake decorating idol. I love Colette Peter's cakes. I was so excited to get to meet her. I got to talk with her for 10-15 minutes and get some good tips from her. I even got to show her the cakes that I had made. She seemed impressed. My son, Alex, is also in the picture.
