Shion's Viva Las Vegas Birthday
I made a special birthday cake for my dear friend, Shion. I've known her since high school and have baked her a few birthday cakes. One birthday I made her a daisy bundt cake, and another I made an alien themed cake. This year she celebrated her birthday in Vegas and I drew my inspiration from the infamous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and created this cake for her. This was my first time working with fondant. I used Wilton's ready to use fondant, dyed it pink and worked with it just like clay. The cake batter is Shion's favorite, funfetti and I made buttercream frosting and royal icing for piping. It took about 6 hours to make, most of which was waiting and cooling time. It was well worth the time because this is by far the best cake I've made.
