Of course I knew I wanted to add the iconic Tiffany blue color and bow but everything else was done on a whim. What I love about this cake is that it’s perfectly imperfect – I just love the homemade feel! What’s even better is that my little brother decided to join me for this birthday cake baking session. We had so much fun working on this together and created some wonderful memories in the process 🙂
