Ok well really my second cake- I'll post both of them for you.
The first one is the Candy Corn Cake.



The second one I did is a Checkered Board Baby Boy cake.



I think they both turned out pretty good for not taking any classes or anything.

Let me know what you think!

they're fantastic!!! I love the candy corn one.........did you bake the inside the different colors too?? those are so cool.........you did a fabulous job with the stars too.....and I love your writing on the baby shower cake........not so easy writing nicely on a cake.....and you did it very well!!!

You are off to a good start. My only question is how did you manage to type your post after making all those stars? Makes my wrist ache just looking at the picture!

Will look forward to seeing more of your cakes.

Good job. Both are very nice cakes. Candy corn for Halloween? Love it.

You did a great job. I'm self taught too.

Wow! These are terrific--I can't imagine trying to begin cake decorating without classes! I especially like the candycorn cake--so cute!!! Keep up the good work! And welcome to CakeCentral!

Pretty darn good for your first attempt! Pretty soon you'll be an expert! Keep up the good work, you know what they say, "practice makes perfect"! Keep us posted!

Thanks everyone you are all so kind. I plan on making some more cakes- everyone at work loves them. I am finding it hard to squeeze in the cake decorating tho- I am 22 and work full time and go to school 2 days a week.

The next cake I am going to try is one with MM Fondant- I'll make sure to post pics either here or in the disaster section. he he.

Take care,
Tracy
