This month I am taking a cake decorating class with my friend Rachel. We had our first class last week, where the instructor made everything look so easy -- of course you cake always comes out smooth I thought to myself....
Alas, my first frosted cake didn't come out as smooth as I would have hoped, but practice makes perfect so they say....
The cake out of the oven ( a nice marble fudge cake!)

I tried 'torting' the cake (cutting it in half) and filling it with pudding. I learned that I should use a decorating tip to make the rim because using a knife certainly didn't work. I ended up thinning the frosting too as it was too thick to begin with.
Then I frosted the top... looks good so far! Unfortunately when I put the two pieces together my cake wasn't quite as even as it was when it was just one piece :(
The final frosted cake. Not great, but not bad for a first try...
And to top off the evening Eve got sick tonight so was throwing up :( Not the way I want to spend my last few days with her... but she stayed with me in the kitchen and slept. Poor puppy....
I think your cake turned out pretty well! :-) I am going to attempt to make mine now... I'll let you know how it goes!
ReplyDeletelooks nice to me!
ReplyDeleteI learned the hard way about putting in an icing damm between layers, and had my filling oozing out of the final cake. I think your cake looks great!
