Happy Almost Easter! And with Easter comes the end of my cake decorating class. How did the month fly by so quickly?! Jessica and I certainly learned a lot, and can now put our newly developed skills to the test! If all goes well and I have time, I would like to make a couple more cakes for the family party!

Oh, how professional they look! Check out those roses!
Leading up to the class I was so upset, because I was poorly prepared. I had baked the cake at Jessica's house the night before, but after transporting it home I forgot to open the carrier to let it finish cooling. That made the cake super moist (good for eating), but also impossible to frost (bad for decorating). The cake broke when I turned it over, the frosting kept pulling off, and I screamed in frustration as yellow cake crumbs speckled the frosting. All because I forgot to take the cover off! Then, I underestimated how much frosting I would need, and had none left over to actually decorate it during class. Luckily Jessica came to my rescue by bringing extra frosting, and I had a little pink and purple left over from our cupcakes the week before. In the end, I gained many valuable lessons from this cake, and was so happy with the way it turned out I almost forgot about the crumbs in the frosting!
My colorful cake.
This week, our lesson was on roses and writing.
Who knew you put flowers on a cake using scissors?
I made them up myself since we didn't cover them in my beginner class.
Jessica's beautiful cake. I love the vines.
Side view. Check out those perfect rosettes!
I hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter! Enjoy your chocolate and jelly beans and don't forget to thank Jesus!
