I’ve made a few cakes in my life but never really focused on the presentation. After watching Billie and Annabelle from Confection Perfection a few times I decided to give it a try. My friend Anthony made a buttermilk cake and then came over to my kitchen to direct and supervise the marzipanning process. [...]  Peru is very vegetarian friendly. Almost all the touristy restaurants I went to had a vegetarian option, and if all else fails you can always fall back on papas fritas. The quality of the produce is really impressive as well.
