My sister-in-law came up with the theme for our daughters' 2nd birthday party. Barnyard! The cake was a big hit and the birthday girls got a nice sugar-high! The cake was chocolate chip, iced with buttercream. The barn and surrounding animals were sculpted from fondant.

I am back! After a move across country here is the first cake I made in Cali. This one was for my friends daughter Charlie. It was a vanilla cake with buttercream icing. I kept it simple for the little one. She ended up wearing most of it. Happy birthday Charlie Kate!
