I just wanted to thank you all for your comments and inspiration! WE have decided on a birthday cake I got an epiphany last night after reading all of your inspirational thoughts. Started thinking about doing a "new" technique and I thought about how I could include what we were doing into our birthday. Well, we're going COSMIC bowling after dinner...and what better way to highlight that fun than with A GLOW IN THE DARK CAKE! yessss! we're so flipping excited!
Good for you! Have fun and can't wait to see the cake
thanks!
So are you using the tonic water?
YES! that's when i thought this would be awesome to use! something new!
i think we are going to do a splatter technique with a few colors and royal icing. that way the tonic water is used to its ability and nothing like butter standing in the way of it glowing
1st off I cant wait to see your glow in the dark cake (awesome) make sure to post pics.
2nd my birthday is tomorrow I will NOT make my own cake. (Happy birthday to me you get a day off) I think that every birthday should be celebrated, we will have dinner with my parents and three kids. I am turning 31 and do not expect a cake from anyone especiallly ME
Oh and Happy Birthday to all you who have b-days coming up OH and to me too
That's exciting. I remember reading about it a long time ago. I think someone sprayed the final cake with a mist of tonic water or something.
I love bowling by the way. Cosmic is fun but expensive. Does your husband also decorate? I wish my DH would get in on it with me, but all he's good for is QCing everything haha.

yes, cosmic is a little more expensive, but we don't really drink so it's not a big deal. my husband does also decorate with me sometimes. he's an artist and going to school for that right now.
i saw that they "sprayed" the tonic water on that cake and it didn't really work i already found a recipe for actual buttercream but since tonic isn't toxic and food friendly i am only using it in the accent and will probably do a bunch! tee hee
