Here you go Angel...

I'm writing this blog right now for the benefit of my dear, dear friend Angel. She is my biggest supporter and my greatest encourager when it comes not only to life, but to my cakes. She's also the main reason I started this blog. She's a big time blogger, and she likes to read them as much as she likes writing them. Anyway, here you are Angel. Monday afternoon at three o'clock a friend of mine asked if I could make a cake for her (actually, it's for the twentieth wedding anniversary of the pastors of our church). "Sure," I replied, "when do you need it?" "Um, Wednesday?" Okay. Now what? I believe I mentioned in an earlier post that butter cream is not my strong suit. But this cake is entirely butter cream. The super short notice did not allow me the time to make fondant. This is the first time my butter cream roses have actually made it on to a cake Although the icing is as smooth as I've ever been able to get it, I still need a little more work in that area. Swirls hide a multitude of sins, and they look great.
