I do a little cake baking and decorating on the side, and was asked a few weeks ago by a family I know to make a birthday cake for a grandmother's surprise party.
I'll be the first to tell you that I don't tend to be creative when it comes to decorating cakes (mostly because I'm scared I'll mess something up) but this particular family didn't care what design I put on it. That meant (gulp), that I had to come up with something on my own.
I chose to put some brightly colored flowers on the cake, thinking that was rather "grandmotherly". HA! And, if I say so myself, I think it turned out pretty good!
It's certainly not perfect, but the good thing is--I don't claim to be! I received several compliments on the cake and the best part is that it tasted great!

Charon, I had no idea you decorated cakes! You are a brave woman :) Making cupcakes for Allie Claire's birthday is about as big as I'll go and let's be honest, they are not much to write home about!
