Pretty in Pink

This is a cake made for a baby shower at the request of February's winner (yes, I know it's May). I apologize for the horrible picture. My camera was once again not cooperating and my Photoshop skillz are just plain sad. I couldn't tweak it to look anything like what it did in person. If you can imagine the decorations in pink on an off-white cream cheese frosting surface lightly speckled with orange zest bits, that's what the cake really looked it.

This was an orange spice cake, with orange cream cheese frosting. I heard from my friend that it was quite a success and the showeree described it as a "big, baked cinammon roll" (may not have been the exact words, I forget (>_<)). I'll definitely have to bake it again to see how it tastes (^_^). The decoration was a little tricky as the frosting was quite soft. I thought a star border would be a bit easier to do than a shell border. I also piped ridged strips up the side of the cake because I thought it gave it a more baby-shower look.
