Have you cake decorated before?
Ahhh..Gotcha Yah
...Yeah then I would think it is really simple....
Is there something specific you're having trouble with? I bet we could talk ya through it!
Ditto.
I'm a newbie at cake decorating so I remember all those pesky little details that were so hard to learn. I have some basic doctored cake mix recipes, frosting and instructions on getting level cakes and smooth buttercream frosting etc. if you are interested. Just PM and I'll send them to you.
As I would tell my brides, "you're not allowed to describe a cake as 'simple' unless you know what's involved."
Sometimes the plainest cake is the hardest. Doing a basketweave covered in cascading roses is way easier for me than doing a plain iced cakes with a rose or two on each corner. WAY more work to get that icing smooth and perfect as opposed to being able to slap some flowers all over it to hide any imperfections! ![]()
Pick a technique and practice it until you master it. then add to that and built your skills one step at a time.
I would start with a round cake before tackling a square cake. I agreed to a square wedding cake thinking it wouldn't be any harder than a round one. All those corners were about the end of me - of my patience anyway.

Thank you! Your comments always help me!!

Agree, square cakes are more difficult than round. ![]()
Yeah, Michaels is the craft store I'm talking about. And no, they do not sell cake. I was talking about the cake PAN.
Ok, now that makes total sense!
I am with you now!
As Debi so aptly pointed out... the 'easier' a cake sounds, sometimes the harder it is. Which parts are giving you trouble? You said that all the ones you have done turned out as disasters... what happened? This is a great place to get those details hammered out!
Have you taken any classes or are you just kind of getting into it on your own? There is enough cumulative knowledge here to take you from icing newbie to professional decorator post haste, it's all up to how quickly you wanna tackle it! ![]()
