Heather's Cake



Today is my sister Heather's birthday!! So, I have volunteered to do her birthday cake. I have volunteered to do everyone in my families cakes that are close! That way I can get lots of practice in before I start charging. I actually just lucked out and my friend just got engaged so i am doing her cake!! I'm really excited but now pretty much all the cakes from now until then are going to have some characteristics of her cake! So I can practice!Eyan's birthday cake might look like a wedding cake!! :) Anyways,
Heather wanted a black and pink cake. ( I wanted just black and white because she is the dreaded 30!!!) :) So, we compromised, because pink and black are cute too, plus, I still got my black! :) So, here are the beginning stages of her cake. It is just a single tier cake. I tried to do the topsy turvy design but it's harder than it looks. So, the cake isn't super even. But, I'm hoping the frosting will make up for it.The second picture is the parts for the bow.
