“Hello mudda, hello fadda…Here I am atCamp Grananda…”* Happy Birthday, Dad! Yup, today is my Dad’s birthday! So in honor of his special day, I’m posting photos of a cake I did last week. It was for a 10-year-old girl, but I’m asking you to look past that fact. I know you can do it. …
I’m a huge fan of cakes that are iced in chocolate buttercream or covered with chocolate fondant because the colors that are used to decorate the cake really pop!
