Don't Eat This Cake

You could lick the icing, though. Just don't bite into the cake because underneat the icing is a cake-shaped block of wood.


It was really difficult to pipe roses with softer-by-minute icing :( So was transferring them from the flower nail to the "cake" :(


Well, at least it's showing some progress compared to the very first cake that I decorated, I think :)

Carrot Cake w/Cream Cheese Icing


The second cake decoration at school. It's a 13cm x 15cm carrot cake with cream cheese icing and 3 mini marzipan carrots. The border on top is supposedly Shell all the way, not Rope here and there unintentionally. Note to myself: Consistency!


Now I want to go back in time and make them more cartoon-ish, cute carrots.


No matter what, it's been packaged and delivered to our in-school bakeshop already...

Angel Food Cake w/Italian Butter Cream


Hurrah! We finally got to do cake decorating at school! Here's the very first one: Angel Food Cake with Italian Butter Cream.

There's a "Dots" border on top outer edge. It looks so simple but quite hard not to have such spiky tops as seen here. On top inner edge is a "Bead" border wanna-be. The "Shell" border on the bottom and 8 (4 larger ones and 4 smaller ones, in fact) "Rosettes" are okay compared to "Dots" and "Bead". Each "Shell" could have been a little bit longer, though.



The hole in the middle is supposed to be nice and round... It's not, I know.

Cream Cheese Brownies

Very moist, fudgy brownies layered with cheesecake-like topping.


Yes, I like making swirly, marble-like pattern :)


Somehow brownies taste better next day... I don't know why...
