Here's the flower pot cake made for the lady who gave it to me! We had a fun birthday breakfast with her the Saturday after. You can see Johnny was there too!
Grandma took the cake over the table at one point in the day, and she stumbled a little, and it looked like the cake was going down. Grandpa and I both reached and gasped, but good old Granny had it all under control. We laughed about it, but it was tense for a moment!
The colors turned out pretty cool since the pink didn't mix into the purple completely. The purple flowers have a bit of a pink splotchy quality. I liked it though and thought it added character.
I didn't really get the green to be two different shades, but it still turned out. I don't like the petal outlining, but the center stars turned out better this way than the other way. Give and take!
I used a strawberry box cake this time, which was delicious. My hand got a little tired by the time I put the words on, so it isn't my best work. That, and I was taping myself for youtube so I had some stage anxiety. Also, something funky happened with the frosting. I'm still not sure.
I really liked the color of the pot on this one. It was harder to do the pot frosting since the consistency was off, but it looks fine.
