numero dos

My second cake... the frosting didn't come out as smooth and the writing didn't either (probably because I had trouble achieving the shade of brown I wanted) and maybe also because I decorated it in twenty minutes after just waking up... (i.e. I'm not a morning person)

patty cake patty cake...

How I made my first cake: a story in pictures.



(first layer - double dark chocolate fudge)



(second layer & buttercream center... taken at an angle so it looks slanted)


(the ever-important crumb layer)


(smoothing things over)


(with cornelli lace it's bordering on complete)



voila!

my first cake!
