Recipe for Motherhood

This is the cake I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. It's buttercream with candy clay hearts and button. The recipe card is a frosting sheet. I took a close-up. I hope you can read it. The recipe serves 4 because I'm one of 4 children. The pizza paddle was one of Mom's gifts so I used it as the cake board. <b><img src=trophy.gif align=absmiddle>2005 Contest Mothers Day Contest Winner</b>

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful HEARTFELT cake for a Mother on Mother's Day. I can certainly see why you won, you sure deserved that win! I'm with Twinsline7, How in the world did you do your print? Was it done with the edible computer paper and you just did it on the computer, or was it done on rice paper, but then how did you do the printing. I would LOVE to have your instructions for this cake. Please do share. CakesByEllie@aol.com

I love the simplicity of your design. If you have the instructions for it I would love to have a copy. Thanks.

Thanks for all the kind comments! The print is part of the frosting sheet. I used a large recipe card and edited in my message. Then I printed it onto the frosting sheet.
