Yesterday was my mom's birthday but we made her think we were not doing anything special for her 60th. Today we held a surprise party for her and after watching Cake Boss so much I decided I wanted to get her a fondant-covered cake instead of the traditional grocery store kinds. She was beyond surprised that we had done this -- it was about 3 months in the making. I went and got this cake from a local baker who had her own store, and told her exactly how I wanted it to look..and she did a good job in my opinion! It didn't taste as great as it looked so my new goal is to learn to how to make great looking cakes AND great tasting cakes!
