Over The Hill

Stefanie's wonderful mom, Rita, turned the big "5-0" this past weekend. Stefanie wanted a small round cake with black icing. I knew how hard it was to get white icing bright red, so I wondered how hard it would be getting it black. I read if you start with chocolate icing, it makes it a lot easier. So that is exactly what I did and it turned out great! I have learned when coloring frostings, the longer they sit the darker they will great. I saw these "50" candles at party city and thought they would look great stuck in the cake. The cake was french vanilla with chocolate icing.
