I make edible cakes, too!

You know I make diaper cakes.... well I am also starting to try new techniques in edible cake baking and decorating, too! I volunteered to make the cake for my friend Brandi's church baby shower. The nursery theme for baby Myer is "Enchanted Forest", with woodland creatures, so I was trying to figure out how to get them onto the cake. I went and bought the wall stickers for the nursery so I would have something to draw from, and then in my online research I discovered the buttercream transfer method. Essentially it involves tracing a design with icing on wax paper, freezing it, and then pressing it into an iced cake. It was hard and took a long time, (since I did five transfer designs) but it was a neat technique to get the exact pictures I wanted onto the cake. If you want more details on how I did this and good recipes for both buttercreams needed, let me know and I will forward them to you.

The shower was a lot of fun, and the cake was great (if I do say so myself =P). If you need a cake for an occasion, let me know and I would love to make it!
