Let them eat cake....

My middle child turned 9 on April 23rd.  She really only had one request.  She asked that I make her birthday cake for her.  She knew that she wanted a big cake covered with funky colors and fun.  My child thinks of herself as a superstar. So with her picking the colors, I went on a journey to bake her a "star-worthy" cake.  I've baked plenty of cakes in my life, but never have I tried making my own buttercream and fondant. I looked up all the details on allrecipes.com and went for it.  It took a few nights of baking and testing  putting on the fondant.  I actually think I did pretty well smoothing the fondant on the cakes, but I also don't think any bakers are shaking in their boots either- lol. The picture doesn't do the cake justice, but I am proud of what I accomplished for my little superstar.
