And, the decorating continues.

| shell, writing, and rosette practice cake |
After two more cake decorating
classes, I continue to be thrilled with the techniques that I am in the process
of perfecting. Perfecting….yeah,
right. I am happy just to know the ‘how
to’ for the shell trim, basket weave, rosettes, roses, and writing. What more do I need to know? After all, up until a few weeks ago, I would
frost a cake, badly I might add, throw a bit of colored sprinkles across the
top, and call it good. I have improved. And, the results, not perfect by any scope of
the imagination, but a bit more creative.

As with most skills/talents in life…practice, practice, practice is crucial to further technique.

| and, the practice continues... |
So, I keep practicing. If I would have started this decorating process 35 years ago, I would have been an accomplished cake decorator by now. Alas, that did not happen. The positive side is that I get to learn a new skill now…how fun!

| basket weave on practice cake Quick...eat the cake to destroy the evidence of a poorly decorated cake! |
My current status is still quite
novice, but I will practice, practice, practice until I can decorate and offer
a presentable, well-adorned cake. And, I
repeat… presentable, not perfect.

| my third practice cake I discovered that if I make a monochromatic decorated cake, the mistakes are hidden. This frosting was way too thick to cooperate with my abilities. Check out my first attempt at roses (see above 'Happy')...I call them wildflowers! |
Look out Cake Boss…here I come! HAHAHA
