I just finished DH's birthday cake for this year... It is not my best cake, but it's not too bad for being a navy blue and white Penn state cake. He's an alum, a fanatic, and his birthday is tomorrow - the same day as their conference opener, so I really had no choice on the subject of the cake, LOL! And DH doesn't like powdered sugar BC, the kind that I have perfected smoothing on. Really this cake was a disaster throughout the whole process, and I wasn't all that happy with it...

But then I found a picture of the cake that I made for him 2 years ago. Last year's was so bad I didn't even save a picture! They were both before I ever took a decorating class, and I was proud of how "well" the cake form 2 years ago turned out.

Please look and have a giggle with me...

Very nice and you should be very proud.

Practice makes perfect Great improvement.

this is awesome!!!! you are doing great!!! fabulous work!!!!!

amazing!...you are doing great!....

it's really satisfying to see such progress isn't?

i love it!

I had to stop myself from deleting the picture of that cake from 2 years ago... I think it will help me on days like today when I feel like everything is going wrong, and my cake looks "horrible". Perspective is a wonderful thing!

With each cake you'll see yourself improve. Afterall you have CC on your side. Keep it up and don't delete any cake pictures it is always nice to have a record.
