Happy birthday!

One of my favorite ladies at my church turned 80 this week, and her daughters asked me to bake a cake for her. I had so much fun making it!



Jeanne often wears pretty pastel colors, and always has a bright, sunny smile, so I wanted a cake with pastel decorations that would look happy and cheerful. It's a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, decorated with fun little fondant flowers. I brushed the flowers with a tiny bit of pearl powder to make them shimmer. They aren't so glittery in person as they are in the pictures.



Here's the cake:



And some details of the flowers:
