This is the cake that
started the major caking obsession!
My dear friend Les asked me one day, on IM, if I might want to make a cake
for her, and another mutual friend, Sue, for their birthdays - which are both
in November. I was thrilled beyond what should have been reasonable. We should
have known then!

My only real direction was "no whipped cream, and Sue likes fondant." This
was fantastic news, as I was really wanting to play with fondant!

I wanted to decorate
the cake with something that represented each of them. I chose the Goddess
pendant that Sue usually wears, and Les's rainbow pawprint tattoo.
The cake itself was
lemon, with lemon curd and buttercream inside. It was coated in buttercream, and
covered in white marshmallow fondant.
