My children and I love to watch "Cake Boss", the cakes that they make are always so nice! Using the show for inspiration I decided to give it a try for my daughter's 5th birthday. Let me just say that they make it look much easier on TV. I like the way that this cake turned out, but I know that it could be much better! It was very difficult to smooth the fondant over the cake, my cake underneath wasn't a smooth surface so I think that was my problem. I think that I will try this again and learn from my mistakes.
I have had many requests for carrot cake, but had never made it before. I found this great recipe and had to give it a try. I was very happy with the way that they turned out, the cake was so moist and delicious and it was just right with the cream cheese frosting!
My daughter loves maraschino cherries, so I came up with this recipe for her birthday. It was a chocolate devils food cupcake with a cherry whipped cream filling and topped with cherry buttercream and a cherry on top!
