This is my first ever cake; milk choc. cake w/ cheesecake filling; BC and it's hard to see, but pearl dust. Should've taken the pic where you could see the bottom/sides better, but the sides were just plain & bottom has a border of pearls. Obviously, everything needs work, but I wanted to be able to look back down the road & see how far I've come! I love this website, & can't wait to enter the wonderful world of cake decorating!!
