3rd and Last Cake

Notice the heart in the middle of the top rose. I think it's fun, but I didn't do it on purpose. :)

Last night was my last Wilton Cake Class. I finally learned how to make a rose. I made many not so good ones and a few good ones. I hope you enjoyed the cake pictures!

2nd Cake

Here are pictures of my second cake! I hope you enjoy!

Updated Cake Picture

This is a bit late, but that's ok! The day after our celebration of David's birthday, he decided to have another piece of cake. He sliced it and the picture below is what it looked like. This picture is much more of what I had in mind except for the fact that I didn't want it to remain in the pan. Next time I do this cake, I will definitely do it the day before and definitely not allow the ice cream to melt as much as I did this time.

Happy 25th Birthday, David!!!!

Ok, so his birthday isn't until Sunday, but we celebrated tonight. We really had a great night! I fixed dinner and set the table with our china and stemware! I love using our china and stemware! You can see pictures of them below. I also made one of his most favorite desserts - ice cream cake. More on that later.

I am so thankful for my husband! I can't believe that God chose to bless me with such an amazing guy! He is godly, caring, kind, loving, smart, funny and so much more! I am truly blessed!

Happy Birthday to the best guy in the land! I love you!

My baby about to blow out his candle.

Blowing out the candle

Ok, so here is the story on the cake. I baked a chocolate cake in a tube pan. I sliced it in half and started spreading softened ice cream on the bottom half. The ice cream was way too soft and was just melting down the side, as you can see in the picture below.

So...............I ended up putting the top half of the cake back in the pan. I spread the ice cream on top of that, then put the bottom back in the pan. I put it in the freezer so the ice cream would harden. Then, I made a chocolate ganache and poured it over the top and back into the freezer it went. It didn't turn out like I intended it to, but David said it tasted better than the Baskin Robbins' cake he has always enjoyed. That was the best compliment ever! You can see the final product below.

I will probably do this again, but have to change it around a bit. We'll see!
