Simple but Elegant design for a cake.
The celebrant loves green.

I got the sweetest message from the celebrant today.
"Luisa, I want to thank you for the most beautiful cake I've ever seen.
If you went on TV you would surely win.
Everybody was so amazed at how everything was perfect.
I hope to get to meet you one day, you must be a great person.
Thank you! Jeannette" 

Wow, it did made my day. So nice to be appreciated by someone that I have not even met.
I love this new found passion!

~ ABOUT THE CAKE ~
If I have more time, I probably would have added flowers but since
I have 3 days (I mean 3 nights) to make this cake,
I thought a Satin looking ribbon will do.

I remembered that awhile back I bought a cake stencil.
Perfect time to put it to use.

I used Satin Ice Ready Made Fondant and gumpaste for the board and ribbon.
Love how this cake turned out.
Hope you like it too!

I posted this cake on Cake Central, an online cake community I visit daily, and the
next morning I saw that it was second cake in the most saved cake of the day.
I had to capture that moment as this happened only three times on all my creations.
 Here is a photo.

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY JEANNETTE! 
Thanks John for trusting me on this cake.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I had been asked twice where if I got my inspiration for this design 
I had been making ribbons since last year on most of my cakes.
Example as shown below made in October 2010.

However, my real inspiration for this cake was the one created by
Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs.
Michelle Rea made the version in Oct 2010  
I also bought Sharon Zambito's Box and Bow DVD Tutorial, which is very helpful.
