Happy Birthday Candace!!!

I was so excited to be asked by my brother, Curt, to make his Girlfriend,Candace a cake for her birthday.I was so excited to
make something a little different but very pretty. I searched the
internet for pictures for some insperation.I found a few and sent one to Curt.He asked if i could make it and I replied,"Sure can"! After a busy day of running around gathering supplies for the cake and dinner, I got started on the cake. I had so much fun making the cake and I was so glad it turned out so well.Dinner that night was Fettuccine Alfredo with roasted chicken, grilled asparagus with sea salt and garlic bread. We all had a great time and the cake was really yummy!! Everyone enjoyed it.


I enjoyed working with fondant. I used Wilton pre-made fondant in white and Duff Goldman products from "CHarm City Cakes" for the black. The wilton fondant was good, it had a mild marshmellow flavor which went really well with the chocolate cake and Marionberry filling.The black fondant from Duff, had a slightly sweet but really good flavor too. I would recommend both.The cake itself was Duncan Hines chocolate.I choose to use a box cake because of the time crunch but I recommend Duncan Hines if I ever have to use box mix.
The fettucini alfredo was my own recipe. I will post the recipe on a later post.
