One Scrap at a Time

TGIF!! This has been one long week but my work week ended with a bang yesterday..... Let me explain.

My niece Samara asked if I could make a Pirate cake for my great nephew, Jayden, who is turning three today. The cake is coconut with fresh pineapple filing.

The red and black were very nice to work with but the white was almost translucent. I added brilliant white gel color get the white you see here. I love how it turned out and so did the birthday boy. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
