This cake was done for a girl whose personality matches the cake! I love decorating the cake board to match the cake; I think it completes the whole look.
My daughter and some friends were surprising Marissa for her 18th birthday with a party at a warehouse. They had video games projected on the wall, music, indoor "tennis," and more. Needless to say, everyone had a blast!
I found out afterward, that they had decided that the birthday girl needed to blow out candles, so they put one on the cake. It was too close to the "M" on top, and burned it. Nothing like the smell of burnt sugar to make the party...
