I finally figured out how to upload my pictures from my Blackberry to my computer so I can retrieve some photo that I took. Yes, I have had the phone since July! I just have no confidence with electronic devices, but as of recent, I am out to figure it out myself. A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of making another cake for a special occasion. A Bridal Shower!
The decor and theme for the wedding is fall and so I had to come up with a fall cake. I surfed the internet and just couldn't find the perfect combo of "fall" and "classy" and "attainable" that I wanted so as usual, I took multiple pictures and laid them out side by side and went to work making stuff up.
This is the first time I actually didn't cringe when I presented the cake.
Most times I can see every crack and crevice in my work and strategically turn the cake hoping people won't notice, but not with this one! It actually did exactly what I wanted. (except I wasn't perfectly pleased with the way I wrote their initials; should have been curlier but it wasn't happening and I gave up) The fondant turned out with the perfect consistency for the first time since I started baking cakes!
What was different?
I decided to follow the directions!!! HA! Funny how that works.
That is not chocolate icing, by the way, I colored it with so many colors trying to make brown that I will never reproduce that color again! It was a great shade of brown, too bad I don't have a formula of how to achieve it again.
I am looking forward to one more wedding occasion cake in the future--my brother's groom's cake!
Could there be a more important one?!?
Sigh.
