Anyone that knows me knows that i have an interest in Marilyn Monroe that borders on near fanaticism. Well not really fanatacism--I'm not the fanatic type, but i really really really LOVE her ALOT!  And like most Monroe fans I've spoken to, our interest with her goes beyond like or even love, but delves into an affinity. a kinship. Feels like you know her. So naturally I had to put my cake decorating skills to work on something Marilyn. My other love, regarding cake decorating is stenciling.  I found a Marilyn stencil online and painstankingly cut out all the dark parts out of it using an exacto knife.  i knew i wanted the cake to be pink because like the inspiration for my baby shower cake,Jayne Mansfield--Marilyn's color--in my mind--is pink.  the jewels, the pearls, the faded pink roses, all symbols of her glamorous glittering but somewhat sad image.  I hope you guys enjoy this.
