My Mom is about four and a half hour drive away.
It's hard to get there on a weekend. With cake.
Also there's a no gluten thing... I don't get it.
I get it if you're celiac, or trying to be more healthy, but no gluten?
How can you deny this little guy?!
May I introduce you to the Cakelette. Or Petite Cake, but I like Cakelette.
I think it'll be my substitute for the cupcake.
Not that cupcakes can never happen; they are just over done.

| That's right, Cupcake, you're on your way out. |
These were made for the ladies at my work. It had to be later since one only comes in later in the week.
Three inch round chocolate cake with dulce de leche and buttercream. It's splittable between two people, but then you start to eat it and it isn't sharable anymore.
If you need a video to see how click here. Also NicolaBakes is very cute.
Nicola does a cute, simple ringed fringe design on her tutorial, but I figured since this cake is a little over 3 inches across it would look too busy with the texture.
Also I had to top it with a tiny blossom.

If you want to learn more about gumpaste flowers I recommend Craftsy. Especially Maggie Austin's Sugar Berries, Leaves & Blossoms. That's what I'm practicing right now.
Enough free advertising.
Back to what this was actually for...
Happy Mother's Day to all the great mothers out there.

| I love you, Mom. |
