My First Design

I've been way behind the eight ball lately so I have to apologize, but at the end of December right before New Year's I desinged my first cake.  Our task was to design a birthday cake with several required elements.  The cake needed to be a 6 inch round, covered with fondant, have a snail trail piped border around the base, and a plaque on top that had Happy Birthday written using royal icing.  The cake also had to incorporate at least 3 other techniques we'd used over the course of our class.  My cake included a fondant ribbon around the top edge, cornelli lace on the top of the cake, and swiss dots and sways piped around the sides of the cake with royal icing.

So, here's a look at my first Jennifer designed cake!  I was the first one finished with the project and very, very proud of myself.

Hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for reading!  Bon Appetit!
