Isn’t it pretty? I was the only one in the class with chocolate buttercream. My cake is relatively plain compared to those who decided to do clowns and then those that had to fill their entire top with dots and roses. I’m pleased with my cake though. Grant it Saturday when I made the cake, it was a not so good baking day and I learned quite a bit about baking a good decorating cake just by working on this single layer one that she requested. I signed up for Cake 2 and this time we’ll learn more flowers and basket weaving. We’ll make a two layered oval cake with a basket weave side and a bunch of different flowers on top. It should prove to be challenging. But I can say that I am well on my way. I was the first one finished in class today -partly because I only used one color whereas the others used multiple colors. It ended up being a good thing because we were so tight on time today with Joel having media duty at church tonight. I think I may have found my area of art. I’m very pleased with myself and very glad that I have taken the class. I also have received my certificate. I’m official.

congratulations…..its a beautiful cake…remember that simple elegance is not about how much you can put can put on the cake…I think you are well on your way…..Im very proud of you.
Very nice! I am having a cloudy memory of your mom decorating cakes- did she at one time?
Oh yes. That is how mom and dad met. Mom decorated cakes and then tormented daddy while he carried flour up and down the stairs at the bakery. I have always had a fascination with it as a result.
BRAVA!!!! Fantastic cake and I’m proud of you for being the brave one in class to do something different! Some day I’m going to have a coffee shop with a case full of your beautiful cakes!
