In continuing the birthday party how-to's this week, I wanted to share the cake I made for my sweet girl. Oh and I should mention that it was FROM SCRATCH. Do whaaa? I know. It was my first time and it was intense.
Aren't they adorable. The author's are the owners/bakers of a shop by the same name in Savannah, Georgia which is one of my most favorite places to visit. I hope to go and get a little autograph and a taste of something delicious.
On with the recipe.
1lb.{that's right} of unsalted butter at room temperature
2 tsp. of fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. of fleur de sel {i just used sea salt}
Two 1 lb. boxes of confectioners sugar
1/2 cup of fresh pureed strawberries
Beat the butter, lemon juice, and fleur de sel on low speed for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and then continue beating until light and fluffy.{takes about 2-3 minutes} Add strawberry puree and mix until completely incorporated.

I must say, it was beautiful and so yummy but it needed a little something special for the top. So I made this. I love me some bunting in all fashions. I used two straws for the poles, bakers twine, fabric scraps, and a little hot glue.
Just cut some triangles from coordinating scrap fabrics and carefully{very carefully. ouch.} hot glue them to the bakers twine. The attach each side of the bunting to the straws with a little more hot glue. Wha-Lah...
Happy Baking and Bunting!
