I made this cake on the weekend.
It's something that I have never done before. It's something that I never even thought of doing before....writing an Irish Blessing on a Birthday cake. I LOVED the idea when it was suggested to me.
Actually.....I was a little over the top excited about it.
I made the celtic knot out of rolled fondant. It wasn't easy. It made my brain hurt a little. I had dyed the fondant green and then rolled it out like a snake and then joined it together at the ends. Then I just tried to copy from a picture of the knot. But it was more complicated than I thought it would be and it actually just looked like a big mess until I flattened it a little.....with a rolling pin.
I put shamrocks and little purple flowers all around the sides.
I was happy with the result....and I hope to do more cakes with Irish Blessings.
