I had no idea what to do for Audreys first birthday cake! I sorta just made this up as I went along...
It was pretty easy to do, just lines up the side meeting on the top.
I think if I were to do this cake again, I would pay more attention to detail and make sure everything was symmetrical and straight!

Yeah - I was just going to say that your lines should have been more symmetrical.
WHATEVER!
It's adorable and amazing!! Nice work!!

Happy Birthday Audrey!
Wow! What a beautiful cake. Is that buttercream frosting? I tried chocolate buttercream frosting for the first time on Gary's birthday this past Thursday. It was pretty good! Did you use 3 cake mixes for this one? This cake looks a lot taller then the ones you usually make.
So glad you all had fun on Audrey's birthday. Looks like she had a blast too!

this is just the prettiest cake, both inside and out. Beautiful job :)
Posted by: Lisa | Dec 21, 2009 at 12:38 PM
I actually kind of like that the lines are not perfectly straight...
Beautiful cake.
Posted by: Kristin | Dec 21, 2009 at 12:40 PM
I like how your cakes match. Match as in, the outside matches/compliments the inside. Wouldn't it be fun(ny) to do a tacky cake! But I guess a big part of eating something is that it *appeals* to your appetite visually. This might not be the case for a tacky cake :)

There are no words.
This cake is b-e-a-utiful!!!
Posted by: Christina | Dec 21, 2009 at 01:01 PM
I love the fact that the lines aren't all symmetrical and straight! It's a homemade cake, after all, and it looks just delicious!
Posted by: LyB | Dec 21, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Beautiful!!! :)
Posted by: janis | Dec 21, 2009 at 03:10 PM
I LIKE that the lines of this cake aren't as straight! It makes it more playful and less formal - perfection for a girlie 1st bday cake!!
Love your site here. I used to bake cakes and decorate cookies aaaall the freakin' time, and then sold most all my tools on eBay. You are inspiring me to get back to this mess!
