No, seriously, I do. I LOVE cake, you really have no idea how much....

Welcome to my new blog. I should let you know that my passion for cake began in the winter of 2006 after the birth of my second son. I found a cake that I love and then ate it every day....EVERY day...I kid you not! From there I began looking at cakes in whole new way and found that I really appreciate a good cake. I have recently started a cake decorating course and hope one day to be the maker of my own delicious cakes; to make them not only for myself but for others to enjoy too (yes! I have finally decided to share!!). Follow me in my journey from cake connoisseur to cake decorator!! Enjoy...I know I will!!

Castle Cake!

So here is the cake that I made for a friend's daughter's second birthday. I am pretty proud of the cake, though it isn't the greatest job, I think its pretty good for a first crack at it. Things I have learned: need to work on the filling in with the stars using more consistent pressure...some were to low, others went too high (but who can hate all that extra yummy icing!!). I also need to remember to read directions ahead of time and make sure I have all the right tips...turned out that I didn't have the right tip for making the drop flowers so I had to make a quick trip to Michael's to buy it...but I did have my 40% off coupon so I saved a dollar!!





Now for my next cake...which is next weekend, I need to make a cake shaped like a beer bottle or some other bottle of alcohol. Josh is turning 19 and very much looking forward to being able to buy his own booze...so a booze related cake sounds appropriate.
