This is my first attempt at using royal icing, as well as my first attempt to decorate cookies.
I only took a pic of the top of the cake, because the sides were pretty disastrous. I decided to use a recipe with half butter, half Crisco (just for the icing, not for the decorations) and it never crusted over and was pretty soggy. Rookie mistake... I'll never use butter again. The decorations slid right off the sides, but the top didn't turn out horrible. My roses are laying a little flatter than I like, but this is only my second cake, and the first time making roses, so I guess I'll improve with time.
This is the first cake I've ever decorated, and it was just for practice. It's 6", two tiered, and french vanilla Duncan Hines. I have a hard time getting my icing perfectly smooth, and I don't have a very steady hand, so my decorations aren't very uniform. But practice makes perfect, right?
