The writing and the design of cart on cake was my darling husband's idea. Since he is very good at drawing, he helped me put it down on paper and I loved putting our mini project over the cake.

Baby cake
So I heard the wonderful news from my sis-in-law. She was expecting and we were going to visit her soon to see her. Since I had just started on baking classes, I thought of trying out a cake for her. Though it is nowhere near to a professional one aesthetically, I am glad it tasted wonderful. It was a strawberry cake baked with yellow cake mix and strawberry pudding mix. Once it was made, I cut it in 2 halves horizontally. Made some fresh strawberries juice. Put some juice in between the two layer to soak the cake a little, so that its moist. Then made a strawberry and whipped cream/sour cream mixture in the grinder. Applied that between the two layers as a cream. And kept it overnight to set. The next day cake was ready to do icing. I applied icing on the cake, but as it turns out, it was a bit yellow than white icing. Also, the green color was not exactly the one I needed. I did not go with pink/blue since we yet did not know the sex of the baby. So though as I said the cake tasted delicious, I would do icing differently next time. Probably a purple with white or something on those lines.

Baking-Icing Day 1
Recently I decided to join a Wilton’s cake decorating class 1. The course was a four week course with instructor Ann at Micheals store. It ende up becoming a 2 week course with some date adjustments, which as we call it turned out to be a crash course.
After that I made a couple of cakes and saw a good lot of baking videos with impressive techniques.
My mom asked me to pen down my experiences with the class since she wanted to read them and so I took up this task. I thought it would also serve as a revision to what we studied in class.
Day 1:
Of the class was all about, how to bake a cake, what containers to use, how to cool the cake, how to ice it so it looks plain etc. Initially I don’t think I paid much attention to it, since I was just writing down stuff Anne said. But when I baked my first cake, I realized soon that was excellent piece of information. We had to get a cake in our next class.The first day we did practiced some icing on cookie.
