Cake #3

I really wasn't looking forward to going to class last night. No, wait, I wasn't looking forward to making another cake and making three batches of that nasty Crisco icing. (I think that was the consensus among all of us, too.) We all had fun, but are relieved that the class is over.

I'm pretty happy with my cake, though. I just used a yellow cake mix, added a little butter flavoring, then put leftover chocolate frosting from last week in the middle. Oh, and sliced fresh strawberries. I'll show you the inside when I cut it. Or when Steve cuts it. I can't handle that right now.

The smell of that icing makes my stomach do somersaults. I didn't even want to lift the cover off of this thing.


I hope I'm not ruined for the rest of my life because I did this while I was pregnant.

UGH. SICK! My kitchen still smells like that stuff, and I don't even want to go in there.

Okay, I'm signing up for that class even if I have to go by myself! What beautiful roses. I'm so impressed.

I'm sorry your cake class and pregnancy collided. But the cake does look very beautiful!

Beautiful! I want to do a class like that some day! And props to you for dealing with stenchy stenches at 8 weeks pg! At least it's over now and now you've got some wicked awesome cake decorating skills!

That cake looks like a professional wedding cake. I'd hire you. I hope you can eat cake (and frosting) someday in the future. If not, I would gladly come over and help Steve finish that off. It's the least I could do. :)

I have something for you. I just learned about "The Ace of Cakes" Christie, my roommie, is a BIG fan of food network. Well, this is the actual company of "The Ace of Cakes." The pictures of beautiful, and you don't have to smell the frosting. =)

Ace of Cakes is a great show :) I love it when they try to put fireworks or explosives in their cakes. . . like the tank they did for the army. Hilarious!
