First cake we decorated in the Buttercream class. I experimented ahead for the next lesson by attempting ruffles, which didn't work out too well since my BC was starting to heat up from the hot store lighting. But it was very delicious! My favorite Lemon Cake with a homemade Red Raspberry filling!
Bravo!!! Excellent job on a Course 1 cake! Preserve your early cake memories by clearing away the clutter in the background. Here's a cheap, easy way to get clean photos (share with your classmates) http://www.wilton.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=159822
Looks great! I agree with @Api, make the cake the star of the photo, not the clutter.
Awesome job on the cake, looks terrific! :)
