1st Birthday Cake for Kaylen

This was such a fun cake to make! I loved the bright colors, polka dots, butterflies, and ladybugs! It was for my friend's little girl's first birthday party. It was a 10" marble cake with whipped cream filling and icing and then covered with my homemade marshmallow fondant. It was VERY YUMMY!

I still have some perfecting of my fondant recipe though, unfortunately, by the time the cake arrived to it's destination after an hour drive from Santa Fe, the sides began to weep. At the bakery I used to work at, we had a rule, NEVER use whipped cream with fondant, however, I am determined that it can work as I have done it several times in the past without any issues. I prefer the look of fondant as it has a very clean appearance. Kaylen LOVED her cake and I was so very honored to have been chosen to make it for her!

Here are the pictures of the cake before it's journey to Albuquerque!!
