THE Cake!

I had a FABULOUS birthday! Thank you family and friends for all the love and awesome gifts {wink!} it was super special! Will promised to "blow me away" with his present after he was disappointed with his "lame" Christmas present for me (DVD's and a CD... not much thought there! Sorry if that sounds unappreciative, I mean I loved the DVD's but I wanted him to put in more thought and he said himself that his gift was lame!) and boy did he ever blow me away! I was way spoilt! I'll post more about my Birthday later, first I wanted to post about my cake!

Remember the Cupcake Tin Alicia got me for Christmas (now that's thinking!!) well I had so much fun making it as my Birthday cake! I made Mississippi Mud Cake as the Cupcake Base and the Margaret Fulton butter cake (from my vintage MF cook book) as the "icing" bit. It was so much fun! I made Marshmallow icing from my new Cupcake book and had fun pushing the springy icing all around the cake. It was the most awesome-est Cupcake ever! I sprinkled it with Pink shiny cachous and pink and white sprinkles. We ate it at the Cafe after brunch but seemed to hardly make a dent in it! I took it to work for the next couple of days too and shared the love with my friends! They all loved it. I'm not much of a fan of butter cake (why have plain cake when you can have chocolate??!!) but my friends said the butter cake recipe was moist and delicious, so I believe them.
I can't wait to use the tin again and am thinking of all new and cool ways to decorate the giant Cupcake!


YUM!
