cake

So here is the cake I made for Pam's wedding shower. Keep in mind this cake was done quite quickly I hope you like it. Nothing too fancy and actually quite simple to do. I used a stencil, and some thinned out butter cream frosting. If you go to www.cakecentral.com they have a video you can watch on how to do it.

next cut thin slices of butter and lay all over the cake mix.
