Balloon & Gift Birthday Cake: Made for a celebration of our December birthdays at the office. Design idea came from what I did with the Garden Girl cake. I didn’t have a lot of time for this one but didn’t want it to be just a two-layer yellow cake with a boring birthday design on the top. So I to cut around a design on the side to give it a little extra dimension. I did a quick Google search and found a clipart image that matched what I was thinking (balloon attached to a gift box) and blew it up in Photoshop so I could print it and use it as a guide while cutting. Once I had it cut, it all came together nicely.
