Carlie is here!

The last few months have been crazy busy. Carlie Skye Carter was born December 8, 2009 and life has been a whirlwind ever since. Whitney's family came to visit for a couple of weeks after the birth and that was good to have them up. I was busy making plenty of Carlie Skye's for everyone haha. I also made a cake for her baby blessing. It was my first time doing a tiered cake on pillars. I used white fondant on a white cake. The bottom tier was 12 inches and the top tier was 6 inches. I also made some fondant flowers (which Whitney mostly made) and placed them on the border of the top tier and above a fondant ruffle border on the bottom tier. Whitney then had a great idea for the remaining fondant flowers. We arranged them in a 'C' on top of the cake. I then put a bow around the top tier. We saved the top tier in the freezer for Carlie to enjoy when she is a year old haha. Here is a pic of the cake:
