Let them eat cake!

A few months ago I (Jenn) decided to take some cake decorating classes. I've always enjoyed art and baking so I thought that it would be a fun to combine the two. The best part is that you get to eat it when you're done! It was a lot of fun learning the different techniques with cake, icing, fondant, tools, etc. There are so many things you can do. Some of it is actually a lot easier than it looks. I would love to have a cake decorating business someday. It would be so much fun to be able to make a job out of a talent. Maybe someday! These are the cakes I've made so far.

This is the first cake I made during class

I made this cake for Em's birthday. I was just playing around with some of the techniques I'd learned


This was the circus freak cake we made in class! I also turned that one into Em's b-day cake

I learned how to make roses out of frosting during the first course. That is definitely as hard as it looks!

This is a baby shower cake I made for my sister's friend


I made this for my brother-in-law's birthday. It was a lot of fun to make and he loved it. It's kind of a joke cake!


This was my first fondant cake. It's like working with playdough that's edible


My first tiered cake

My first cake sale!!!

It's been a lot of fun learning how to decorate cakes. If you're ever in need of a cake, I'm always looking for an excuse to make one:)
