Journey

I've come a long way in my journey of cake making already. I would post a picture of some of my first cakes that I had to make for Classes but frankly I'm embarrassed. I will however show one of the earlier cakes I have made. I plan to post pictures of cakes I have made and will make in the future and talk about the challenges and things I have learned from each cake. I might even be able to help some of the many other cake makers out there with a few tips and tricks. Best of luck!

This cake was I believe the first tired cake I made. It was for my daughters dedication. I didn't execute it as well as I would have liked or would do today but the trick was a cute one. I don't remember where I saw it but I took drinking glasses of different sizes (you could use cooking cutters of any shape or size as well) and pressed the glass lightly into the cake. Once the edge had a bit of icing on it (kind of like rimming a glass) I pressed it into some coloured sugar then pressed it back into the same spot on the cake so the sugar stuck. I did this in three colours actually. One was white though so it's difficult to see in the picture.

Happy Icing!
