A thank you cake

This cake is for someone my husband works with. They had a potluck lunch on Secretary Day or something like that, and he brought the dessert.

This was my first time making the flowers and I had a hard time with the daisy looking ones. The smaller blue and white flowers were easier to make and really make it look better. On the sides the basket weave piping was also pretty new to me. It turned out better than I had expected, but not as nice as I would have liked.

This one was a lemon cake with raspberry cream filling, and buttercream frosting. I really procrastinated on this one and the decorating was really rushed because of it. I wish I would have had a little more time to take my time and make everything look a little more professional. Next time for sure. I am definitely proving to myself that I need more practice, how fun!

My last few cakes didn't make it into posts because I wasn't very pleased with the results. They weren't bad but not something I was excited to share. Keep and eye out, because I am going to be practicing more.
