A Promotion

This one was, obviously, for someone who was promoted to Major. The cake was coconut, strawberry filling, and vanilla butter cream. It was the biggest cake I have ever done, and it took longer than I expected. It was fun to do thow, and it turned out well. There is always something that I wish I did different one way or another, and this one definitly has a few, but I am happy with how it turned out.

Easy!

I am excited that it is getting easier, much easier and faster to frost a cake and do other basic things. This cake was very basic and something I had done before, just a week or so ago. This one turned out great. I was pretty proud to stand back and see that it looked almost perfect!

I got daring and tried to do a little decoration right on top, from memory without practice, and well needless to say I messed it up, lol. I fixed it best I could and did a different decoration that is a little easier.

The flavors of this one have been, apparently a big hit around here. Coconut cake, lime curd and passion fruit buttercream. And, well, it is one of my new favorite things to eat! I really love it!

Practice and a Taste Test

My last post I wasn't to thrilled with how the cake turned out, so I made another for practice. I did the basket weave on the sides again. This time I took my time and it turned out a lot better. Like they say practice makes perfect, though it isn't to the perfect stage yet.

I also made this as a test for a cake I will be making later in the month. Coconut Cake, Lime Curd and Passion Fruit Buttercream. Well it turned out great. It is probly the tastiest cake I have ever made!
I can't wait to make the final thing in a couple weeks!
