cake.

this is what i figured out today about frosting a cake... i need to pre-frost it before i "pipe" the frosting on. i would have made a pretty cool cake today, had i put a thin layer of frosting under my decorative layer. but i could see the cake layer showing through and i didn't have enough icing. i'm really enjoying this. going to keep practicing and try my hand at making some cakes and frostings from scratch. something i've never done. i'm also going to sign up for a wilton cake decorating class. so fun. here's my finished product. i ended up just frosting over my first try. mmmmm. pink cake.

here's my inspiration: (from another blog)

here's mine. basic, not exactly what i planned, but i'm preparing for a comeback.
