My first cake after taking my first Wilton Cake class. I was trying to employ some of the techniques I learned in class. I made a chocolate birthday cake with vanilla buttercream for my brother's birthday. I love little birdies and found this whimsical bird design that I recreated as a sugar decoration. To add a bit of flavor to the cake, I did what our local Carvel use to do their cakes, add a bit of crushed almonds around the outside of the cake. I also added crushed almonds between the layers as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake. I've come a long way since my first cake....but do have nostalgia over my first simple cake.....hmmm....instead of a slideshow, I may just do short posts of some of my baked goods from the last year or two.....stay tuned for more...my fingers are getting antsy... :)
