Our Cake

When I was a little girl, my great-grandmother, Ruth Grisham aka Dommy, used to make my birthday cakes.  They were these beautiful things with soft, fluffy icing and silver bb's for decoration.  I loved those cakes.  Because we are using damask for so much of our decor, I originally looked for cakes that had a damask print on them.  Then, I happened upon a cake that instantly transported me back to my childhood and my Dommy's wonderful cakes.  I knew instantly that it was the cake I wanted.  I showed it to Glenn and he loved the simple elegance of it.  We are having a red velvet cake, with soft fluffy icing and we aren't forgetting the silver bb's.  It is perfect!
