Adventures in Cake Decorating

I've never been very skilled at making pretty cakes - or pretty desserts. I leave that to my sister, the master fondant cake decorator. But I do take pride in how amazing they taste. Until recently - I've worked hard to make they look pretty as well as taste yummy. Thankfully I have coworkers who let me practice on them.

This is a chocolate bunt cake I made for my souther coworker. It was AMAZING tasting, and I love the look it has with the powdered sugar and raspberries. I made 4 of these in a week. So delish.



This is my old standby Hershey's perfectly chocolate cake (back of the box!) with an oreo whipped cream filling. This is a little lopsided, but not as bad as they sometimes are. Baby steps.



And this might be the prettiest  cake I've ever made. Its the perfectly chocolate cake, with the chocolate fudge frosting in the middle, and butter cream outside. I tried my hand at some flowers, and some of them turned out!



I really love baking, and I'm glad I have an outlet for it. I take one of these to work and its GONE. I made Josh a chocolate cake for his birthday, but since its just the 2 of us, not much progress has been made. Cake, anyone?
