It’s been a long time since I’ve had another cake! This month however I have QUITE a few. It’s insane. I told my Husband August was the last month I’d make cakes before the baby came and it just filled up! Why can’t every month be this full and fun? Anyway this cake was for a sweet little birthday girl whose favorite song is “I love to see the Temple”, a song LDS children frequently sing at church.
To make it I covered a cake with fondant. Then I used my silhouette to cut out the fondant words of the song as well as a silhouette of the most famous, local, Temple, the Salt Lake City Temple, in white.
If your interested in cutting this cake out with your silhouette here is my studio file for I love to see the Temple. I used my pasta roller to roll the fondant to a number 3, about the thickness of a dime. For my machine settings I used the special blade from desert designs, cut speed 5, thickness 25 and choose the pink cap (even though I was using my special blade).
I BOUGHT my very silhouette kit from Dessert Designs. I am in no way affiliated with them, and they don’t even know I wrote this post. I just think she has a great product (the special blade) and good ideas and instructions.

July 27, 2011 at 7:37 amThat cake is so pretty. We were singing that song all last week during our Utah Temple Tour. My kids love it!

July 27, 2011 at 10:50 amI bet you sang it quite a few times last week! I guess we could cut out small versions of each temple you went too and made cupcakes!

July 27, 2011 at 10:51 amthanks Kristy! I can think of a few songs this could work really well for, with various silhouettes! A blossoming tree branch on top with popcorn popping around the sides!

July 28, 2011 at 11:19 amYou used your silhouette to cut out the temple and words? You are a ROCKSTAR!!!!! Does Silhouette know you can use the machine for that? You should write them and get some free products for being so smart! That cake is stunning! AND Yeah for a pick-up in cake orders!!!! Can’t wait to see that baby!

July 28, 2011 at 11:47 amThey do know that she sells this blade, From what I’ve been told they are working on getting FDA approval to use the sillhouette with food products, but until they do they can not support the use of it with food products. But at least they don’t have to ask me to stop! People were using the cricut for fondant cutting for quite a while before the cricut cake came out. I wouldn’t mind when they did get the approval if they wanted to work with me though 😉 but for now I’m on my own!

August 9, 2011 at 8:19 pmLovely cake! So simple in white, yet uniquely themed. So, did you sing I Love To See The Temple, after singing the usual birthday song? 😀
Ashlee
August 14, 2011 at 8:33 pmThank you so much! I’m not sure what they sang, as it was for a client and I wasn’t there when they busted out in song!
