I clearly need to practice

This is my first effort at putting one cake on the other...and the fist time trying a flower shape cake. Its hard to get all the way around the cake properly...I'm used to just icing round cakes I guess! I'm not terribly happy with how this turned out but I think its because I feel like I really really need to practice more.

I am a seriously delinquint cake decorator!! This is what happens when you finish taking the courses and are no longer forced to make cakes on a weekly basis. I miss the decorating but seriously have no time!! Here is a cake I made for the heck of it for last weekend. I tried to make some "grass" around and on the cake and Oliver asked me to make a butterfly cake...and this is what I came up with since I had already baked two round cakes...we came to a compromise!
