 It was really fun to make and I can’t wait to use this technique with a carnival theme, or movie theatre theme!</p>http://chefmona.com/post/17264910872http://chefmona.com/post/17264910872Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:05:43 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxtujwKl681qbvj2no1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxtujwKl681qbvj2no2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Piece of Cake</p> <p>This is a cake I made for Heather’s daughter, Olivia.  She wanted a small cake to feed 6 girls at a sleepover, so this is what I came up with!
