What I Learned Doing My First Cake

My first cake has truly been a huge learning experience for me. I have learned that yes you really do need to crumb coat...yes it is easier to cut a cake out of the fridge/freezer...i now realize why you wait to stack a tiered cake when you get there... because so matter how careful you are something will shift and your icing will crack even if its just next door lol and you use dowel rods. the greatest thing i have learned however is that wonderful feeling of accomplishment i got when everything was said and done and people were coming up and asking who i used to do the cake...and knew that i all of my hard work and practice had paid off!
Learning the crumb coat trick was invaluable for me as well. Keep going and may we never stop learning about cake and cookie decorating. It is very rewarding to make big smiles come to others faces! 
Your first cake, the one in your album, you did a great job on and I love the colors! Accidental colors or not, they came out perfectly!
kyliesmom you learned a lot on your first cake, it took me several to learn most of what you learned in just one!
You did great. Now you just need more practice and imagine with the help of your new friends on CC how much more you will learn even before your next cake.
Good Luck
