messy

I tend to make quite a mess when I do cakes. 
I do clean up after myself though.
Here's the cake I was working on that day.


In yesterdays post, Liz asked if I make the flowers. Yes, I do. I can remember when I first started I was terrified to make flowers. Over the years I've had a lot of bad ones that I had to dump back in the frosting bowl. I've also had mishaps where I've dropped them upside down on a cake. I've had a lot of practice over the years and now, so long as the frosting cooperates, I can whip them out pretty quick.

You have such a talent for decorating. I still laugh remembering the cakes Kaitlin and I used to make. Plenty of love, but no artistic talent. 😊

Pretty cake. Cooks have dishwashers, so bakers like you should have cleaners!

Rose said...

I wish I could do half as good...

It's beautiful! Not easy to make flowers, I'm impressed with yours. I took a cake-making course with a couple of friends years and years ago. I was never any good at them.

Jeanette said...

Beautiful! I take it you make the flowers separately and then put them on the cake?

Oh the cake is lovely and a lot harder to do than you make it out to be.
You do a great job.

I'm like that when I bake at home. - The cake is very pretty, I like the colors.

Oh how great... more cakes.
You know, I went back from your most recent post to the older ones...
yes, that's exactly how it is: practice makes perfect :-))
p.s. I have to get my rolls out of the oven... whole grain sourdough... with and without nuts... I like the nuts in the rolls.
Hug to you.
Have fun in the bakery for you :-)))
