Grand Finale Cake

The last class of Course No. 2 of the cake decorating class my mom and I took was last night. We made a cake using all the techniques we learned over the last four weeks. We learned to do color flow (making flat designs and letting them dry) and royal icing (the flowers dry hard) and to make victorian roses, mums, violets, and all kinds of other flowers.

Last night we learned to do the basket weave. It's amazingly easy once you know what you're doing!



The book showed a cake in white frosting with springy colors and bluebirds. Because it is September, I made my basket brown with fall colors and little brown birds.

I can't wait to make more cakes!

Well, actually I can....I won't be making any cakes until the end of October because I'll be so busy........................I won't have access to phones or e-mail (darn!) for a while.
