My Bible study leader's (and sweet mentor) precious daughter turned 1 this year and I was thrilled to make her first individual Birthday Cake!
I attempted to experiment with two new trendy techniques: the rainbow layer cake and the ribbon icing effect. I tweaked the up and coming trend of creating cakes with layers imitating the colors of the rainbow. Instead, each of the four layers is a different shade of pink, gradually getting darker toward the top. I also learned a new form of decorating cakes by using the ribbon decorating tip and creating a soft and sweet ruffled ribbon effect around the cake. Pink and ruffles! Perfect for any little girl!

Precious!
