Someone would like my present cake for their daughter's 2nd birthday, but would like to incorporate a 2 on it in some way. Any ideas? (I am hoping to attach the picture of the present cake I'm referring to, but I have never done this. I apologize if the picture doesn't show up!)

Trying to add the picture . . .

OK. The cake is in my pictures. Anyone know how to add a picture?

Okay, first things first. Are you talking about the Wilton 3 Fondant present cake in your gallery? If so, why not do fondant cut outs of 2's with a small cookie cutter to match the color scheme either instead of or in addition to the flowers.

Adding Attachments: When you post (NOT in the quick reply) at the bottom of the box you will find the add attachment button, click it and follow directions. It's just like uploading a pic to your gallery.

I made a cake for my Brother and his Fiancee for their engagement party. I just made a tag on that cake that you could do for yours, so that the tag reads "Happy 2nd Birthday". (it's in my photos)

Or maybe make it look like wrapping paper that has the number 2?

Or right "Happy 2nd Birthday" along the lengths of ribbons/loops?

As for attaching photos to the posts... there is a button to click on under the box where you type your post that reads "add an attachment". Click on that and then click on "browse" to locate your photo within your computer folders. Click add (or attach, can't remember) and it should load.

HTH!

Thanks! I like the idea of the gift tag. Would I do that in fondant?

Also, she asked for a price quote. Tell me what you think. . . I told her that if she wanted it frosted in buttercream with a fondant bow, $40, and if she wanted it all covered in fondant like the picture, $55. I haven't covered a cake in fondant since that class. I think it tastes gross, so I haven't played with it more than accent stuff you wouldn't eat. Does that price sound reasonable? I guesstimated how much it'd cost me and doubled it. I've never sold someone a cake before. I've only done them as gifts for people so far.

You MUST try the MMF for the cake. It is so tasty and easy to work with. It is a real hit. Oh and by the way - your cakes are wonderful.

I wasn't able to post pics until I realized that my pics were too big. You might need to resize them to get them to CC's maximum. I think it says what that is somewhere on the attachment portion of the post. I would check the size of my pics by clicking on "properties." Then I'd use a photo editing program to resize. I think I ended up using a 4x6 size and that worked.

use the 2 as the pattern for the wrapping paper.... have them going all different directions so some are on angles and running into others... difficult to explain in words.
