100th Day Celebration

You know what is one of my most favorite parts about this whole baking thing I do? Learning about all of the different things people celebrate! It's so exciting to know that no matter what, people celebrate! Mr. Poor Economy, you can kiss my butter because guess what...come rain or shine one thing you can't steal from us is the excitement of celebration!
One of the most recent celebrations I learned about through doing a cake was the Korean 100th day celebration. The Korean people believe that the first 100 days of life are a difficult time. Therefore once a baby makes it to the 100th day, there is a celebration to thank the god that protects the baby & mother during this difficult time.
Cool right?
So this is the cake that I made for a 100th day celebration. The cake was vanilla bean with raspberry cream filling & Swiss meringue buttercream, Yum! The party colors were pink and purple so I did various shades of purple buttercream flowers with just a splash of pink. What a great reason to celebrate!
