My parents are celebrating their 40th Anniversary this fall.
We're having a party:goodvibes
I'm going to be really brave, and make the cake:scared:
But I need to do a test run or two first:)
And I've never gone beyond the kids birthday cake, never done fondant, flowers or anything like that...but I do want to try.
I thought about doing the stacked thing with foam, and make a sheet cake to cut/serve..does that make sense?
It's going to have to travel 6 hours by car...so decorating the foam could be done before at my house, travel, and then I could make the cut/serve cake at my mom and dad's a day or two before...
Any suggestions/pictures/websites/books for how-to flowers, (mom's fav are yellow roses), or anything for a cake newbie! I found this on Wilton..
