Yena’s 5th birthday request — she’s been waiting for this for almost a year!
There’s a long story of disaster and success behind this cake, but it will have to wait ’til next week. I promise to post details, details, details!!! Making that marzipan rose (the center one) was some of the most fun I’ve had!! And Yena’s very precious first attempts at marzipan-flower making — the other two — are VERY impressive, don’t you think? Ooooh, but that marzipan coating … argh…. took more than double the time I thought it would take. Why I assumed it would be just as easy as fondant to work with, I have no idea. It’s not like I haven’t worked with marzipan before. Of course, not as cake “cover”. Lots of lessons learned. You get to read about it next week:D.

Stef, these are all just beautiful. I am always in awe of your cooking and your photography. I hope you and Aisa and the rest of your family have a wonderful and blessed 2007!!!
