Trash the Cake

So a friend asked me to do a cake for her babies first birthday pictures. They are going to trash the cake. She had originally hired someone but it fell through. Well this was the cake from hell. I first started out with trying to make my own chocolate pound cake but that turned into a hockey puck. Then I tried a store mix well that just ended up sinking into itself when I tried to stack it. So the last time I bought a store mix pound cake and then added chocolate. It was perfect. I then was going to add a bow to it put for the life of me I could not make a stupid bow. I guess that is just something I need to work on. Well I think the finished product looks nice for starting over three times.

Cassie's birthday cake

I had so much fun making Kyn's birthday cake that I thought I would make my sister one for her birthday. It was my first time making a bow... I need to find a better icing glue to stick it all together.

Kyn's 2nd Birthday Cake

This is the first cake I ever made. I loved every second of it. I wish I would have spent more time on it. I made the cake and fondant the night before but I was going to wait for the day of to decorate. I thought that for my very first cake and having never been trained it turned out pretty good. If I do say so myself.

The begining

I have always love the look of fondant cakes and wanted to try it out. My daughters birthday was coming up and I wanted to do something special so I thought I can make her a cake. I wanted to start this blog to write about my journey teaching myself how to make cakes and show some photos as I work. I hope you all enjoy this journey with me.
