I have never made a full sheet cake before so I was a little concerned about all the details, particularly,what do I put it on and how do I box it?
I purchased a 30"x 24" piece of plywood and some pretty white vinyl tablecloth fabric to cover it with. I also glued some 1" cubes on the bottom to elevate the board so we could get our hands under it in order to lift it. The box was constructed out of assorted cardboard boxes that just happened to be in the house. I knew there was a good reason to save all those boxes.
The cake was half chocolate and half vanilla with chocolate butter cream frosting. Since this was for a baby girl shower there are lots of pink flowers. As I have mentioned previously, my writing has a lot to be desired so this is not my proudest moment. The flowers are gorgeous and hopefully that makes up for my penmanship failure.

I Would Be Delighted
This cake was made for a friend's baby shower. This amazing young woman has a gluten intolerance so would not be able to indulge in her shower cake. Jenn's mother-in-law, also a friend of mine, asked if I could make a special gluten free cake just for her. "I would be delighted" I said! I used a gluten free cake mix which is a perfect size for a 3 layer, 6" cake. The frosting, which is made of butter cream, was dyed to match the colors of paper goods for the party. I also tried to replicate the design of the paper plate . When it comes to writing on cakes, well, I kind of suck. But, I did it anyway because it completed the design. While the writing was not too bad looking, the cake itself was very pretty.
