Our February theme came straight from our star dessert, the Shades of Love cake - a brainchild of my super talented friend, midwestern chef & lifestyle expert Ross Sveback (www.rosssveback.com). While it would've been much easier to just order his gorgeous cake (available through Williams-Sonoma), I decided to make my own version at home.
I admit the result of my cake decorating was far from the perfection of the inspiration cake. Nevertheless, I was pleased to have given it a try as a labor of love to my breaking-bread sisters whose enduring love and friendship makes my heart soar.
