Laura and I both have sweet friends who asked us to make a cake for the baby showers they were hosting. We decided that since the paisley cake was so enjoyable to make, we would look closely at that experience to see what we could learn. Mostly what we came away with was eating dinner before we started yelling at each other and vowing to never speak again would be the first step to successful baking/ decorating (we are two GRUMPY girls when hungry). This changed our experience drastically! We were calm, happy, and simply loved every second of the process!The first cake we made was for a boy. His name will be Mason, and Laura and I just loved that name so much that we decided it should be on the cake. Luckily, the mommy had a blog that we could peruse to "get to know her" before we designed the cake. Her fantastic blog gave us an idea of the colors and type of design she would want. We felt confident by the end of the night that she would be pleased with our creation. We surely were!
No strict guidelines were given for the second cake... we had a vague idea of what we wanted, but ultimately decided to "go with the flow." Needless to say, we were nervous! With several new supplies, we tried a few things until we came up with an idea that worked (we think) very well! As Laura said, "It looks like a REAL baby gift!"
By the end of the night we were talking about how much we ADORE making cakes for baby showers! There are endless possibilities for sweet designs!!!
