First Cake

I spent all this money on all these supplies for decorating. I really thought I would do this a lot and love it. However, I am having some problems. I am not sure if I am going to take the rest of the classes. I am really conscious about the food I serve people. If my food is not good I feel ashamed to serve it. I put love and time in my food and that's what I like to be known as for the taste. Anyways- the cake that has to be inside a "frosted"cake can't be moist and crumbly. KISSES TO SARIAH for helping me find a denser cake recipe. It still doesn't have that unique cake flair I like to give my food.. Like my delicious German Chocolate cake I made last year.. YUM..

ALSO* The Butter cream frosting with all that LARD is just gross to me. I know that is how the frosting can hold its shape but I just don't want to feed people it. So, I'm having a conflict of serving these cakes for eating or wasting food for art. My hate list keeps growing. BUT I love the hobby and it could be helpful for wedding cakes and celebration cakes.. .. ..Who likes wedding cakes anyways!?


MY CAKE CON's
1. I hate the way it smells
2. I hate the way it tastes
3. I hate the way it feels
4. Its so greasy its hard to wash
5. I hate serving it to people
6. There is WAY too much frosting
7. I hate the way it smells... It just adds to my sickness. YUCK!


Cakes are not my favorite dessert anyways, I would much rather make something gooey and moist or dinner foods!

Well- I'll keep trying my best but I'm so afraid I just waisted a bunch of money. It'll be useful on some occasions I am sure.
I finished my very first cake. The frosting textures had some problems but I will grow as a cake decorator and maybe get better. MAYBE

I'm NOT a cake person. On my birthday I want brownies, ice cream and hot fudge. But I love to decorate cakes for others, but somehow it doesn't turn out the way I had visioned it.

I DO think that your cake looks really good! Even though you may not want to eat it, it looks really yummy!

Wow Gloria!! That cake turned out so great! I am so proud of you! The handwritting looks great too. Keep it up! You have a talent here. Do you use Lard or Cistco? Cristco is not as smelly. It is still horriable for your body. Keep it up! I want to hear how it goes. Love you!
