For Elijah's 1st birthday we had a cowboy party! I was having a hard time finding a cake I wanted to make that went along with the theme... They have a horse cake pan, but I really wanted to make a cowboy hat! I thought they ("they" being Wilton's) would have some kind of cowboy hat cake pan, but no such luck. So I decided to look on the internet (what did people do before this most wonderful of inventions?) and see if there were instructions- lucky me there were some pretty detailed instructions, so I followed right along and was quite pleased with the end result!! I was a little worried about working with the fondant frosting, but it's actually pretty easy- it just takes a l-o-n-g time!! Everything was edible but the star!

I am VERY VERY impressed!!! I am not a very creative person so I always stand in awe when someone does what I seem to have no ability to do.
ReplyDeleteVery Cool cake!
Super cute cake! But do you have more pics of the party??
ReplyDeleteAll in good time my dear! I fell asleep last night doing it, so they didn't get posted until this morning! Sorry!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to celebrate Elijah's 1st birthday...I think it was a wonderful success. We won't comment on HOW LATE you stayed up the night b/4 to get everything perfect!!! Oh, rats...you all know Shana is a night/early, early a.m. owl. I think it was...3:30 a.m.??? Is that reminiscent of finding you reading with a flashlight under your covers as a kid...then I would wonder why you didn't want to get up for school...ho-hum!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the cake and felt the cake and still could hardly believe it wasn't a hat. What an achievement!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks amazing Shana! You did such a good job...and little Eli is just adorable in his outfit!
