Cake Decorating!

    Hey guys! So, something I wanted to talk about was cake decorating! Woo! Ha, so I really actually like cake decorating, I think it's fun! I know I'm not the BEST at it, but I work towards being greeeeaaaaat! Haha. I just really like the idea of being able to make something (like candy, or other sweet food) look like a princess castle, or a butterfly's wings, or a golf course! Something simple like a rectangle cake can become something crazy! I just love it!

   So, I wanted to show some pictures of cakes that I've decorated before! One that I don't have a picture of was my favorite, but I'll do a brief description for you! It was a circle cake with white butter cream frosting, then my friend & I added a striped detail all across the cake using a 'Betty Crocker' tool that she had, we then piped a simple pink 5 petaled flower in the center, and placed about five or six little yellow decal balls making the center of the flower! It looked SO pretty, and i was sooooo proud! Now, onto the pictures!

   So, this cake was made my my friend & I when we were serving (our 'business' M&K Serving It Up, we serve & cater parties!) at my dad's 60th birthday party! It was a surprise & he's super into golf so me & my friend wanted to make a gold course cake for him! All of the flags had his 'golf buddies' names' on them & the tallest flag in the middle was for the hole. There is a sand pit made out of graham cracker crumbs and the taller grass is made out of green (we just used food coloring) coconut! My dad loved it & we were so proud and happy to give it to him! 

   This cake (it's actually a pie) was made about two years ago with the same friend as the golf cake. We teamed up against my older sister & her friend and had a cake competition. We were Team B & I believe this was a Chocolate Bar Pie (I think the recipe was from allrecipes.com, I'm not positive though!) We had so much fun decorating this & it was actually one of the first times I had decorated something! The base was just cool whip & the heart & lines were piped on in pink frosting. The brown filling of the heart is shaved chocolate! 

 This one is [obviously] not one of my favorites, it's so simple. But it is just a bunt cake covered in white vanilla frosting & sprinkles. My friend & I just made it for a family gather about two years ago. 

   This was the most recent cake I've made! Haha, my friend & I went a little crazy with decorating, but I found an old butterfly pan that I had & just HAD to make it, I mean, after all, my friend & I HAD spent the past 24 hours watching cake decorating videos (; We are silly teenage girls, so this isn't one of my BEST pieces, but it's one of my favorites, because I think the love & fun shows through! We covered the cake with a chocolate frosting & went nutso decorating with purple, lime green, orange, and yellow colored vanilla frosting & BUNCHES of candy, sprinkles, and yellow dot decals! 

   Hope you guys enjoyed this blog! If you have any super good (or not so good; or just silly) cakes you;ve made, feel free to comment ! I'd L O V E to see! <3 

   Bye for now!
