My friend Taryn's daughter, Naftalia's first birthday party is coming up next weekend. I've been talking about wanting to start some sort of party planning, baking, cooking of some sort of adventure, so Taryn jumped on it and asked for my help. She is a very creative person and could totally do this all herself so I thank her for including me in the plans.We talked about food and what to do for the b-day cake and of course I offered up making the cake. Now, let me put this up front and out there... at Easter this year, I baked my first cake - it turned out ok but definitely not a masterpiece. I'm usually a pie/tart girl. Cookies, no problem. Scones, I love to make, but cakes I don't have much experience with, so here begins my adventure.
We decided on a small cake (for the b-day girl) surrounded by cupcakes. Perfect. Butterflies and flowers are the theme. So this week I worked on some ideas and Saturday I went to Cake Art in San Rafael and worked through the ideas. I think I got some good stuff. So I'm off to experiment.
