Rose Cake

A couple of weeks ago, my mother-in-law had a birthday, which was the perfect occasion to try out the Rose Cake Tutorial from I Am Baker.  It is really beautiful (and a lot easier than it looks). 


While mine isn't as perfect as the original, it definitely was a fun first attempt, and something I'll try again.  In the future, I'll use a larger star tip on my icing bag.


My favorite new way of finding new tutorials is through Pinterest.com.  I know, old news to the internet world ... but I have been using it for the last several months to organize craft ideas, and I am totally hooked!  I used to have a miles-long bookmark list in my internet browser, and now I have neatly arranged inspiration boards, complete with pretty photos.  LOVE!  You can check out my pinterest boards here.
