So this was the present cake for Course 3. I was trying to be fast in putting the bow on in class, so it's messy. I did what I was told and put the piping gel around the bottom of the cake, but it made it so goopy on the bottom. I've done a fondant cake before, but this one just turned out messy. I think also I put too much buttercream icing on first, next time a thinner coat of icing.
