I mastered a baseball diamond with brown sugar for the diamond, but I completely agree with you. It's more expensive and takes way more effort to make the cake than buy it, but loving hands have to add something special. I know Nathan will remember your beautiful results. If not... remind him often and save the photo for when he's all grown up. <br />BellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587634783902486718.post-26506279894422037642010-03-09T21:56:51.023-05:002010-03-09T21:56:51.023-05:00This is why I own a bunch of bundt cake pans in al...This is why I own a bunch of bundt cake pans in all shapes and sizes (they have a stadium shaped pan)....bake the cake, dust with some sugar, and stick in the candles:)<br /><br />Your cake is amazing!
