Mistake Monday

 Big mistake to think that writing on a cake is like writing on paper. Trust me when I say, "I was out of my MIND to think that."
 I was told that after writing on the first twenty or so cakes it would get easier. HA! That still gives me a laugh. I've written on well over two hundred cakes and I still get it wrong at times.
 Full sheets are truly the hardest though. These size cakes feed up to a hundred people. These are really big cakes. Which means you have a lot of writing and work to do to fill it.
 Some cakes like this air sprayed cake looked beautiful without any writing on it. It truly looked beautiful. Then I wrote on it and it turned into this.
It also would be wise to make sure you read the name right before you spell it out on the cake. Just for the soul fact... that not everyone is willing or as patient to wait for you to fix these little goof ups.
 Flowers have been the easiest thing thankfully. 

That writing thing though... was truly the devil to work with.

Flower Fridays

 Clearly when someone works with cakes, and a pastry case you will make flowers, roses, pansy's, daisys, mums, sweet pea flowers, name it we try to make it out of icing. After learning basics for two weeks I was pulled aside to learn roses. I could have cried I was so happy. The rose above this was my teachers. The rest below are mine.
 This was my first rose I had ever made out of whipped icing. It was hard, but oh so much fun. Needless to say after my first rose I felt like I could take on the world.
 Which isn't true. You can't take on the world by just making roses out of whipped icing. Though you can truly try.
Or instead of trying just eat the delicious whipped rose and let the world go on without you for a few minutes. It's up to you really.
