89th Birthday Cake

Last month my grandmother turned 89 years old and I had the pleasure of making her birthday cake. I chose the coffee cup because for as long as I can remember she's collected coffee cups and the colors are bright and bold, just like my grandmother.

This cake was truly adorable! It was two tiers with vanilla cake as the bottom tier and strawberry cake for the top. The cake was iced and trimmed using cream cheese frosting and all the additional accents were made using fondant.

This was my first time making shoes using fondant and it was definitely challenging the first go round, but I learned a lot, so I'm sure it'll go a little easier next time. The bow, polka dots and daisies add some added excitement to this cute cake.

I hope this cake provides a good memory for the mom to be.
