Birthday Cake for L- Pink and Brown

My first cake order!! Woohoo!! My friend texted me Sunday night and asked me to make a cake for one of her good friend's birthday. All she specified was she wanted a chocolate cake with pink icing. I asked if we could do pink and brown? She said her friend loved pink and brown! So, I busily got to work!

I made my favorite chocolate cake recipe and filled it with a homemade chocolate pudding between the layers. Everything is made from scratch and I used lots of organic ingredients. I made my first Swiss Buttercream icing for the crumb coat, it came out perfect, and was amazingly simple to make. Here is my cake ready for fondant!

I made my own marshmallow fondant, and a chocolate fondant. Here is a picture of the first layer with the pink marshmallow fondant.

My finished cake!! I love fondant and I have so much fun working with it. The lighting in my kitchen was tricking my camera. The pink above is the actual color of the cake.

My bow! (Sorry the lighting is funky!)
