Mom's 50th Birthday Cake!

I decided to make my mom's birthday cake for her suprise party! This time I wanted to try royal icing stenciling. I'd seen it online and in magazines and it always looks so awesome! But when i looked online for "cake stencils" i was FLOORED at how much they can be. I'm talking 50+ for a stencil! SERIOUSLY!? So being the frugal mom I am i went to the craft store and looked for small enough stencils to fit a two layer cake. It ended up only costing me with coupons(of course) $3 for each one.  Gotta love that! 
Since my mom's favorite flower is the white daisy I started with that and decided to do yellow so i could find other color daisy's to match for the cake topper.  For my first attempt i think it turned out pretty good. I am not happy with the border on each layer. I should of just did it in white icing or another technique, but i had a lot of extra royal icing that was already tinted that I didnt want to waste. 

So here it is!! It's a home made poundcake (my grandmothers recipe) with buttercream frosting, with rolled fondant!

PS! Fondant does burn! lol Since i had flowers on top and I insisted on putting 50 candles on it, all the heat stared to singe the cake and flowers! lol 

SUPRISE!!! Happy 50th Birthday mom!

Since me and my mom are so close it was SO hard to keep her 50th surprise party a surprise! lol But we pulled it off! She honestly had NO clue and it made it great!  For the party we did yellow, white and sea foam green color scheme, I made her cake and most of of the food.  I took her out for a day with Brayden while everyone else set up and decorated! It turned out to be a good time! Mom is ALWAYS putting everyone before herself so it was great to give her a special day! She deserves it!  Love you mommy, Happy 50th birthday! Here's to 50 years of memories and all the ones to come! 

I tried to make sure I got photos of everyone there!  :)  But there are WAAAY too many to upload them all!
