Here it is! This is what took me most of yesterday!
This morning we are going to my mother’s to celebrate Easter & her birthday. When I took cake decorating classes a few months ago her question was “Will you be able to make a Pansy cake?” I said I don’t know we will see. Now she has forgotten her request (or at least hasn’t mentioned it) so I hope to surprise her.
Why yellow frosting?
Well that is a question I am asking myself! LOL! I saw a cake like this in a book, and it had the yellow frosting. This is my CASE attempt. While Im not crazy about the yellow frosting on the cake I really think I did a good job considering I self taught myself the leaves and pansy’s (missed the last class!). This is only my second cake after taking classes!
I think my mom would love it reguardless. As mother’s don’t we love every “masterpiece” our child creates?
TOMORROW
Stay tuned tomorrow! I have something cool to share that Jason’t friend Sean came up with for winding ribbon! You aren’t going to believe what a bunch of guy were doing last night! LOL!
Great for all you who participate in ribbon shares or buy by the yard. SERIOUSLY AMAZING STUFF!

Pretty cake Lauren! I took the Wilton classes too (only the 1st one) specifically so I could make birthday cakes for my two little ones every year. The cakes may not look as nice as the ones in the Wilton yearbooks, but my little guys know who the cakes are and love them (and that’s all that matters isn’t it)!
Can’t wait to see your ribbon idea.

Lauren, awesome cake…did I mention my birthday is July 15th??? ha ha ha ha… Your mom is going to love this, you master everything you touch!! Fabulous!
You did a great job Lauren with the cake decorating. My mom used to teach it, and I never got around to learning it from her. It’s a whole lot harder than it looks. Your mom is going to love it too.
Oh, it looks delicious! Your mom is going to L-O-V-E it. You did an awesome job. Funny, I was just thinking to myself a couple of days ago if you were still doing cake decorating. Now I know 🙂 Have fun celebrating your mom’s birthday. Give her happy birthday wishes from us “pretend stamping friends”
Beautiful cake! I am sure you mom will love it. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Yummy!! I’m sure your Mom will love it and the yellow works great! Aren’t spring pansies yellow and purple/blue? Did I mention your birthday is shortly before mine? Chocolate is my favorite. 😉
Lauren, beautiful cake. I am sure your mom will love it 🙂 I look forward to seeing what this ribbon idea is….I will check in tomorrow! April
your cake turned out beautiful…I am sure your mom with LOVE it! My birthday is May 28th!!! LOL!!
I want to try the card challenge. Need to go stamp some now! Have a great April 1st.
Okay, no fair…a fabulous stamper and great cake decorator too! Hope she had a great b-day!
Lauren, you should be so proud, I would buy that cake from a specialist store, it is beautiful!
I can’t wait to see the ribbon idea. My friend and I were discussing the problems of the ribbon twisting as we were winding it onto the card! Neither of us had a solution.
Your cake is cute! I did some cake decorating several years ago, but you’re much more advanced than I was!
lovely!
that cake is gorgeous Lauren! You did a beautiful job! I haven’t decorated a cake in forevah!
Beautiful!!! I knew they were pansies even before I read the description!!
