Mr. Cy turns 4!

This cake was a LOT of fun to make! Simple double layer with chocolate frosting in the middle. White frosting to cover it all. I used frosting tips for all of the decorating (other than the cars and candles). Cy loved it and I'm very pleased with the final product. If there was ONE thing I would change, I should have saved some white frosting for the dotted lines down the middle of the track!! Whoops, lesson learned.
Simple start

After all the frosting was added

Final product with toy cars and candles added!

Vera Hazel- her baby shower :)

Stayed up till the weeee hours of the night working on just the "frame" of this cake! I spent another few hours this morning, finishing it up for the 2pm party. I would like to note that the picture of the cake taken in the fridge around noon, has purple trim around the baby shoes, a purple V, and purple icing around the circle of the monogram. However, the picture taken at the baby shower shows all of these things as BLUE! What?? I'm not sure why, and it's not the camera, but the icing actually changed color! I wasn't too happy, considering that baby Vera is indeed a girl, and purple is a girls favorite color! (next to diamond) :) take care!
