a shortcut, buttercream transfer, and dilbert

My boyfriend requested that I make his co-worker a birthday cake. No sweat right? Well he asked me if I could make a Dilbert cake.

catch up

So I finally got my pictures off Brandon’s camera. Here is my sister’s birthday cake that I did… Vanilla buttercream and pineapple cake. It was pretty good!
