Pierson's 1st birthday

I have been trying to get my daughter to get her hands in fondant for almost a year. She’s very creative. She’s in college to become a music teacher. This week she sat across the bench from me as I worked on a cake. I handed her some fondant and said, “Here, see what you can make”. She made the seal first. When I saw how decent the seal turned out, I asked her to make a turtle for me. I think she did pretty good for a first go!

Corrie from CorrieCakes, inspired me with all the beautiful sheet cakes she has been posting. Her quality work has challenged me to bump up my skills a notch. I tried very hard to keep my sides and borders straight on this cake. Corries are always so impeccably straight!
