My first decorated cake (well, not counting when I was 10). This was just a learning cake: baking, stacking, filling, crumb coat, smoothing (I didn't use VIVA), ruffles, and quilting (I used a toothpick, so I know it could have been much better). I definitely learned a lot and had fun. It was supposed to be graduated shades of blue, but purple is fun too. Thanks for looking!
