A cake for Mindy's baby shower.
Yes, I may have gone a little overboard when decorating this cake. Some days being extra girly is fun. I started out with an idea about making a bunch of royal icing flowers and then placing a few on the top of a cake. At one point there was style and form, but it all went out the window when I started to grow attached to all the individual flowers I made, and I felt they needed a place. I know it looks like a flower vomited on it, but I think that Mindy liked it and it really tasted good. For my cake decorating friends- I used a hybrid shortening/buttercream frosting for crumb layer and the basket weave. It was easy to work with, easy to smooth, strong enough to hold up, and it didn't get soft when in a decorating bag (plus it tasted more like a buttercream then a shortening frosting!)
I wanted to thank my hubby for giving me my cake decorating caddy for Christmas - It's awesome and I love it, plus it's much better then keeping my stuff in a paper bag!

P.S. Thanks for the info on the icing. I've been nervous about icing cakes when summer rolls around. I'll definitely give that a try soon.
