My latest Birthday Cake

It's been so long since I posted on my cake blog. I haven't been making sweets lately because my husband is trying to lose weight and I am trying to cut back on sugar. Not that I had a big issue with turning down sugary sweets, but my husband is a diffrent story. He has a major sweet tooth so for him, I have been cutting back on my sweet treats. However I miss the baking and decorating part so I hope to start baking again soon.
I made this cake months ago for my husbands meimaw. I was very happy with it. The only major problem I had was that I cut one of the dowles to high and it made the cake crooked. Luckily I was able to hide it somewhat and take some pictures on an angle so it wouldn't look so bad LOL.

I usually post my pictures on www.CakeCentral.com and that's exactly what I did with this one. And to my surprise, within the next 24 hours of it's posting it was put on, I wanna say 100 peoples "favorites" list!!!!! The most I have had is maybe 17 or 20 or so. And that's overall. This was within a day!!!! I was shocked, excited, happy and I felt like I won a prize or something. Seeing my cake on the homepage of the website in the "Favorite Cakes Today" cake pictures was a great feeling. I have stopped going to the site lately just because sometimes I feel inferrior to some of the other cakes, (ok most of the other cakes) and I just don't have the time to devote to the cake decorating craft as I would like. But I do enjoy it so I hope to get back to it very soon!

Thanks for reading.
