Also, on this day, I get to celebrate it however I want. (yay!) I am such a control freak & plan all of the celebrations in my life, that making my cake every year doesn't bother me. In fact I am sure if I didn't make a big deal of it no one else would. Usually I make a 4 layer cake, alternating strawberry & lemon, with purple icing, sprinkles & other ridiculous decorations on it.
This year, I am going to take it super seriously! Ok, I lie, I am not going to take it that seriously. But I am going to feature a color scheme, some recipes for fondant & some cake topper things I want to make. Just to keep a record & spice things up.
The great part is I would love for you my wonderful followers to help me out! I appreciate you all sooooo much & am so thankful I've found other bloggers who love the same things I do. You all rock! I am also going to do a giveaway of a second topper I make that matches mine. So if you follow these posts all the way through, you'll have a say in what goes into the whole shebang!
This first installment is about deciding on colors! My favorite color is purple but I am open to new schemes that suite me. Here are a few colors I am thinking about:

I used Color Scheme Designer. It's pretty cool but I think something else might have worked better
Of course the icing will be a paler color (I think, since I think I can make that sort of color) but the other colors would go into the sprinkles, etc, & the topper!
Taking it to serious? I want to have a pretty cool looking cake & perhaps I want to start party planning. :)
Please leave a comment about your favorite! Make sure you don't miss next week's installment about cake toppers & remember to enter the giveaway next week during Dorm Dec Wednesday!
