I was asked to make a smash cake a while ago for my DB’s niece’s first birthday. I said yes on the spot, not really thinking about it. Afterwards, I was questioning what I’d gotten myself into this time. I may be a baker, but I am definitely not a cake decorator. Heck, I hardly even bake cakes!
Browsing online for ideas, I saw this tutorial on YouTube and figured that it would be the best route for me. It still looked gorgeous and the idea of it was pretty simple. Thank goodness that this cake was just a mini one because I don’t know if I could have handled a large one!
The cake was far from perfect (as you can see), but I was quite pleased with it. Too bad it was so hot out on the day of the party that half of the frosting melted off! Just my luck.
To me, baking and decorating cakes are time consuming and stressful. I know it gets better with practice, but I’m just too scared to start practicing! Maybe I should invest in a couple of cake decorating classes…
And now for what you’ve all been waiting for: the winner of the apron/giada giveaway is….
Congratulations Tiffany! Keep an eye out in your inbox for mail from me. Thanks to everyone for spreading the word!!
Wow really not bad! Not bad at all! And thank you for the link! Being scared yet fascinated by decorating cake myself, I found it really helpful!
Cheers,
