Winter Engagement Cake.

Winter Engagement Cake. on Cake Central

When my mother's boyfriend told me he was proposing I had to make a cake. :) This cake was actually constructed in secret right under my mother's nose, so I'm prouder of that than anything else. Flavor was great, too, I found a recipe for a really boozey gingerbread spice cake with allspice cream cheese frosting. It was definitely a success for that Christmas Eve! I had so much fun making the sugar ornament balls-- a technique I copied from a holiday cake challenge on the food network.

I'm surprised by compliments on the topper... the whole middle part (the royal icing accents) broke and had to be mended at the last minute! I forgot to add in the very center is a bell I took from the second Sugarcraft book. It broke completely in half right before serving though!
