Mom had been making
her daughter's birthday cake
until
this one
was made and designed by herself.
She did a good job, didn't she?
One of my daughter friend made red velvet cupcakes and gave her about 2 cups of extra cream cheese frosting and we used it for top layer decoration (beading pattern). Swiss Butter cream frosting was use for crumbs coat and filling border. The frosting and filling amount is not accurate so I did not post them at this time and will update later. You can use your favorite frosting or filling, or Vanilla Frosting from Cook's Country.
Adapted from Cook's country:

6 large egg white
3 cups (12 oz) all purpose flour
1½ cups sugar

1 tsp salt
8 oz (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature, cut into small 1/2 inch cubes
2/3 cup whole milk at room temperature
