Humidity and cakes DON'T mix!

It's here! The hot, humid weather.
Being newer to this part of the country, I can say, I hate it. I hate it for what it does to may hair, (no point in combing it since it just ends up frizzy) it makes my makeup melt off revealing my not so perfect skin, and the worst offense of all: it ruins my fondant!

Usually you can put cakes in the fridge and they dry in there. As of this week, they do not dry in there, and when I pull them out to dry in the air, they get shinier and sticker my the minute.

This means massive headache and much more work then usual to get a cake right. This polka dot design should take about 5 hrs to complete, but today it took me all day- 12 full hours!

I like the way it turned out, but my back is so achy, not even a heavy ibuprofen would help!
Is it worth it you say??

It is! Every time I get frustrated I just think about how this cake is going to bless someone on their special day. People will gather around it, smile, laugh, share stories, and that makes it all worth it! In this case, this cake is for a surprise party. I'm sure the birthday girl will love it!
