This was my first commissioned cake and boy did I learn a lot! I work MUCH BETTER when I'm NOT UNDER STRESS! I kept freaking out and messing up and the whole cake felt like an utter disaster. A cake that should have taken me two hours to decorate ended up taking closer to eight and by the end all I could see was mistakes! The flag was the part I kept messing up on, and I kept having to make new sails!
