Chocolate, Chocolate And More Chocolate!!

I made 3 - 8 inch layers ( full) of Cake Mix Doctor's Darn Good Chocolate cake and filled and iced with buttercream. I used wax paper to smooth the edges but I was too tired to make it perfect. My sister didn't seem to mind my flaws. I'm still learning so the piping isn't perfect...but I used my new kitchenaid mixer and WOW is all I can say. Double bathes of cake and buttercream made SOOOOO easy~

Clown Cake From Course 1

I'm very proud of this one. It's the first cake that I didn't feel the need to apologize for it's imperfections. I'm getting it and I'm so happy! Yay me!

Practice Cake

I needed to practice a cake for tomorrow's Course 1 Clown cake. I tried to do scroll work on the top and it just didn't work out so I blended the icing all together in swirls and called it a day. A cake disaster turn around, though I could still have added "something" in the center to balance it all out. Oh well. I'm ok with it.

No Fail Cookies With Royal Icing.

No Fail Sugar cookie recipe with Royal Icing. My first time so I played around with it and made a few cookie treats on sticks with my kids. They loved it so it works for me.

Wilton Course 1: Over The Rainbow

I wanted to pitch this cake over the rainbow by the time I finished. My icing came out great for the colors, very smooth, but then I made another batch using the "CLass" recipe and it was bumpy and full of clumps. I ended up not noticing that until it was ON the cake. Hopefully next week's cake is better. Hoping for HAPPY CLOWNS!

Practice Cake For Course 1

Since I have just started the Wilton 1 class, I haven't learned how to make flowers yet so I just used some leftovers from my daughter's bday party hat project. We made hats and the girls got to decorate, but I digress. I'm new to this so go easy on me. Will say this was one of the better cakes I've eaten and family commented about that too. Extracts and puddings work wonders! I hope I can recreate something similar when I learn to make flowers.

Cake #4: Striping

This is my 4th cake ever. I wanted to play with striping the bag since my instructor brought it up in my class last week. ( Wilton course 1) I am just learning to pipe borders and actually we haven't even had that class yet, but I figured I would try it so ignore the different colors on the bottom shells. I kept turning the bag and didn't realize that would have an effect until I was finished. LOL! I normally ( well, ok once before) make Wilton Buttercream but I wanted to try to use their tub icing.
