Cake building

I wanted to take my first stab and piecing together a cake this year. My mom used to do this for us growing up and it was special to have such unique cakes. Thanks to her good advice I used 2 circle pans and cut out the pieces I needed after freezing the cakes. I used paper patterns cut from 2 tracings of the cake pans.


My crumb layer of frosting - you can kind of see the seams here.


Yay! It looks like a duck. Then I was scared to do anything else to it. I was afraid I would ruin it!


The bubbles and water for the bath.


The duck cake - Lexi was so excited about her duck cake. I was so glad.

I had a lot of fun making it!

Here is a close up of the banner. It was fun to make to! I don't get to crafty regularly so I really enjoyed an excuse.
