This was my first time at FBCT. The pink bled (used the tube of Wilton decorating icing for the pink) and some of the white didn't fill in the cracks very well. I don't know if it's because the icing was too stiff (same consistency as other colors except pink and black) or if the tip was too big. It is definitely a technique I need to practice.
I had never had/made an italian creme cake but I had a request for one so here it is. I am not sure if this is the traditional look of one, but nonetheless, this was it. It was very dense and rich.
What I would have done different was stick toothpicks in the gum drops (for the tuning pegs) before sticking them on the cake (they started to slip b/c of their weight) and I would have added a thin black border around the top border of the cake. Otherwise, I was pretty happy with my first guitar cake!
This was my first time tracing a picture using piping gel. I wasn't happy with this cake, especially the letters and border.
I had gotten some Wilton press sets some time back and hadn't had a chance to use them. As you can tell, tracing letters is still difficult - freehand is even worse, though. Perhaps the consistency of the icing is too thick or the tips are too big...?
This was my first attempt at decorating a cake with bc (for an actual event and not a class). I know that one thing I would make sure I have enough of (in the future) is time.
