I just got the pictures for Jonah's birthday cake, and wanted to share!
They put the picture on their thank you cards, which I thought was incredibly sweet.
It was sort of fun doing the blue whale. I looked for a picture I liked online, printed it out, and traced it onto the fondant to cut. Took a bit of liberty with the color of the whale, but I figure that's okay. I just wish my fondant (the cake-covering layer) didn't end up looking so rough and cracked. I think I put too much powdered sugar in it.
The cake inside was a vanilla buttermilk cake, with a strawberry cream filling, and it was frosted with a strawberry buttercream. I didn't attend the party, but Ellen said the cake got a lot of comments and questions and requests for my card! I may not want to do this professionally, but it's nice to know people are interested!
