Week 2 of Cake Decorating: Cakes

This week in cake decorating we tackled: cakes. Jess and I each decorated a 1-layer (delicious strawberry flavored) cake. We frosted them, traced and transferred designs, and then used different tips to decorate/fill it in. Here is what we made.

CUPCAKES! Mine is on the left, Jessica's is on the right. Jessica had to draw hers freehand because the frosting kept coming off. Looks pretty darn good to me!

Mine.

 

Jessica's. Is it any wonder she wants to be a baker?!

 

 

 

 

Yum.

 

 

 

 

Next week we get to decorate cupcakes! I'm excited because not only are cupcakes adorable, but you get to make lots of separate designs, instead of trying to make one, big, symmetrical pattern and position it precisely in the middle of the cake (too many factors to mess up). See you next week!
