Decorate a Birthday Cake from the Bakery

Hello everyone,

This weekend we celebrated my husband's 75th birthday and family reunion. 

Later this week I will share more with you in another blog post. 

My daughter purchased the chocolate moose cake with plain chocolate frosting from Costco. 

The birthday guy loves NASCAR and my creative daughter and granddaughters

decorated the frosted chocolate cake with the cake decorations, I bought them 

from Wal-Mart.

My shopping list included:

A box of 48 candles

Small package of M and M's candy

White decorating frosting

Red decorating frosting

Green sprinkles

A small bag of Black Fondant

Two candles * the number 7 and the number 5

And a little red car.

The candles represent the spectators in the grandstands at the race track.

M and M candies are the pit boxes 

The black fondant made the race track, and the white

frosting is the white line and the checkered finish line. 

Green sprinkles cover white icing to represent green grass.

The red decorating icing trims the race track.

The number candles laid on the green grass, and the party started.

The candles are lite, and this guy with COPD

 is ready to blow out the candles. 

I didn't get a fire permit, but I thought about it. 

We had a great celebration. I hope this tutorial about personalizing your 

cake will come in handy one day. 

Sometimes we just don't have time to bake a

big cake, and creative granddaughters love to help. 

Thank you for joining our party.

Joyously,

Betty
