Courtney and I haven’t had a lot of time for cakes lately but her friend Brie requested a circus cake for her daughter Perry’s first birthday and we didn’t want to say no to that!  I baked, Cort decorated with fondant and then Brie made the topper out of clay.  Came out so cute!  The cake is brown sugar from the “White Almond Sour Cream” cake recipe, found here.  I just subbed brown sugar for the white sugar in the recipe.  Happy 1st Birthday to sweet little Perry!
