Henna Cake

Party people, we are at 100 followers! Way to go...only 25 more until I can give those lucky people the adorable cupcake luggage tags! If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out my on-going giveaway!
So what am I sharing today, a cake that I made a couple of weeks ago for a 30th birthday. I had a lot of fun with this cake and I am hoping to have a tutorial on it soon. The problem is that I am usually pretty pressed for time when it comes to my baking (damn day job) so I rarely take pics for a tutorial. But I promise, someday soon!
This cake has some definite pros and cons...
  • Pros: 
    • looks amazing
    • creative & fun
    • hides flaws in your frosting job
  • Cons:
    • very time consuming!
    • your hand will be sore from piping
    • if you are a perfectionist like me, it will be hard to get over the fact it is not going to look 100% perfect because it is a work of art and perfect in its own way!
    Okay give it a try if you like, and by all means if you give it a shot, post pictures to my facebook page, I would love to see what you create! Just have fun with it! And if you are not a caker but you are a cookier (yes those are both nouns, lol!) try it on your next batch of cookies!
    Happy Baking, Happier Eating!
