My first cake

Well, first of all I have to admit, that I am not a baker. My mum tried to make me interested in both cooking and baking when I was younger, but I thought it was boring, took to much time to finish, and I had a lot of other interests. But, my dear Joakim turned 26 today, so last night I made this cake. It is the absolute first cake I have made in my intire life.....
First I filled the cake with strawberries in the bottom, mashed banana in the second together with vanillacream, and on the very top ( before I put on the marzipan), I coated on a layer with more vanillacream.
Then I just coated it with a thin layer of white marzipan.
Around the bottom I made a flower ribbon, and a sign with the name og the birthdayboy:)
After that I cut out one big green heart and placed it in the center on top. I made one more in pink, but cut out a zig zag pattern and made it look like a little jacket that I placed on top of the green one.
After cutting out, stamping and placing all the decoration, I finished it all with som eatable silver pearls.
I guess it is not something special, but it is a start.... I wanted to share it with you anyways, since this is one way of creativity. I loved to make it, and maybe I will make many, many more in the future as well?? I promise to come back here more often, but after getting two little kittens, and a house, there is things to do everyday. I am very glad that you are still here with me, and hope you all still enjoy my crafting. Have a great night, and day, and week. Hugz Marthe
