Cake!

I started taking a cake decorating class 2 weeks ago and am really enjoying it.  Mom and I are actually taking it together with Carley and her mom.  We basically wanted to do it so we can make some pretty birthday cakes for everyone in the family.  The first week we just went over the book and the supplies we would need for the class.  The second week, we had to bring in a cake and in class we learned the proper way to ice the cake and get the icing really smooth.  We also learned a few decorating techniques.  My mom and Carley said I was the star student!  Here is a picture of my cake from class. 

Sunday my family from MS came in for the day and I was in charge of dessert.  What a perfect opportunity to practice my new cake skills.  I wasn't able to smooth my yellow icing as much as I would have liked since I had an adorable little boy screaming at my feet the whole time.  But I am pretty proud of how it came out.  I'll have to make this one again during football season!
