This beautiful cake was my final project in my second cake decorating class. I, honestly, didn't think I would be able to make this when I saw the picture. But, I have a fantastic teacher and she is very encouraging. I am looking forward to the next class with her this fall.
I am really enjoying learning how to make all of the fancy cakes you see in the bakeries. They all look so difficult and yes, some can be but they are truly not so hard.
I gave this cake to my mother to share with her friends at work. They all loved it and I even had one lady offer to buy it to use for Mother's Day. I was flattered! This was a two layer strawberry cake with buttercream icing and royal icing flowers. I made those too in class. Those were pretty fun to create. I really loved the pansies which you can't see in this photo. I loved the basket weave design on the side of the cake. I was sooo nervous about making the basket weave but it was really easy! Can't wait to make another one!
