The Cake!

I forgot to share with you all MY CAKE!!!!

I am so proud of this en devour.

I used this recipe.

However, when I did my practice cake,

yup I said it, practice cake.

I didn't really love the frosting for this recipe.

So I made a vanilla frosting that I got from my mom's "cake lady".

Sorry can't reveal the recipe, but it was VERY simple.

And she recommended that since it was a lemon cake, instead of vanilla flavoring I add lemon juice,

it was PERFECT!

Please don't laugh at the elementary decoration, 

this was my FIRST cake people! :)

To make the "sand", I crushed up vanilla wafers, then cut a heart out of cardboard and sprinkled the "sand" around the cardboard heart.  When I pulled up the cardboard the pretty icing made a perfect heart!

Tadah!

For those of you that don't know, 

Logan and I are getting married in Cabo.

So the shower was beach themed.

Get it?! 

The final product!

Way cuter than a store bought cake, right??

It was delicious!

And it was GONE by the end of the evening. 

So I suppose that says something.

I love making cakes...new hobby! :)
