Not only did I make nutella brownies for Valentine's Day and cranberry bliss bars for a coworker's birthday, I made a birthday cake for my sister this week. It is a known fact that she loves My Little Pony. Given how busy I was, the best I could squeeze out was a buttercream transfer of her favorite pony, Fluttershy. I did try to make it fun by making it a rainbow cake inside, as seen on my Instagram account. I went with a yellow cake which I split into 6 bowls and dyed the colors of the rainbow. Frosting was an orange butter cream frosting which my brother said tasted like Fruity Pebbles.
