Pink Party Cake

I purchased the Cake Decorating Beginner's Guide from Wilton and it was probably the best $4 investment you can make if you are curious about decorating cakes and want to give the basics a try.  I had been loving the photo of a pretty little pink cake at the end of the book that used billowing swirls and combed edges.   For Christmas this year, my husband gave me lots of new decorating tools and some new pans in sizes I didn't have, so I was dying to try them out and this seemed like a perfect first project to use them.



The cake is two 8" diameter layers, decorated with vanilla buttercream.  I gave it to my In-Laws for their Wedding Anniversary.
