60th Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my sister's 60th birthday party.  Her Birthday is two days before Christmas, but we always celebrate it on Christmas Eve.  And even though she is a Christmas baby, I always make sure her cake and gift wrapping is non-Christmas themed.

I was a little rushed as usual so the plans I had for an elaborate 2-tiered  monument to her 60th birthday got scaled back to an 8" round cake with some quick ribbon roses and fondant swags.  I slapped this baby together so quickly that I even forgot to take pictures of the intermediate steps.

My New Year's resolution is to manage my time better and to stop procrastinating!  Yea, like that is going to happen.

Happy Birthday, Sis!!
