Rachel's 30th

My sister-in-law turned thirty and asked for a Cake Mama Cake for her birthday. She wanted chocolate with buttercream filling and didn't care about the decor. I found the "Beautiful Blossoms Cake" on Wilton.com and based Rachel's off of that one.

My husband, Danny, made candied bacon ice cream (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2008/03/candied-bacon-i-1/) which was a surprisingly delicious compliment to the cake.

I topped each piece with a royal icing apple blossom. Mmm!
