baking and decorating a cake

well today was a rushed and tiring day, i woke up very early because i had cake decorating class but before going i had to make a cake and other things that i needed to take so i had to make the batter to make a cake then i had to put the cake in the oven for like an hour, meanwhile i was making the frosting and the filling for the cake which each took a good 30 minutes, so then when the cake was done and ready i had to let it cool down for like an hour which i had no patients for. then i packed everything to take to class and grabbed my cake and left. the class was really fun i learn how to cut a cake in half and put the pudding filling in it and it seems really easy but when you have to do it its really hard. then i learn how to put the frosting to cover the cake and you have to have a lot of patients to do that because if you do not do it the right way you will mess up the frosting with the cake crums and it becomes really hard to fix later. after i put on the frosting i had to boil water and then with the hot water i had to smooth the frosting so the cake looks descend. finally i learn how to draw on top of a cake and i drew a cup cake which i though it was going to be easy for the first time doing it, it turns out that the first part is easy because you just have to draw it and then but this gel thing on top but after when you have to put it on top of the cake so it will mark it sometimes it gets stuck and the frosting that is under it gets ruined and it does not look so pretty so i had to be extremely careful. and then from their is really easy because i just got to decorate the cake however i wanted to i did like ball circle things like around the bottom and top of the border of my cake which turn really good for being the first time. after all that fun in the morning i had to come home and do my homework which i had a lot. when dinner time came i was excited because after dinner we cut the cake and tasted it which  i was surprised but it tasted really good.

  1. I didn't realize how much baking would take over! It seems extremely time consuming, but worth it after its completed.
