Hi There!!!!!!!!

Sorry for not posting for a while but its been a few hectic months...For example: We recently had exams nd we also had a school concert which turned out okish!!!!:) As it goes for baking it was my birthday and i couldn't resist but make MY own cake.I decided to make a cherry blossom cake with a twist...the cake was make up of 3 tiers which i covered in plain white fondant and placed a brown colored fondant tree up the tiers and instead of plain white and pink blossoms i replaced it with pastel coloured flowers...nice hey.
