Adventures in Cake

Ever since Coco and I planned the Atlanta trip, we had discussed decorating a cake. Coco had taken a cake decorating class and turned out to be quite the artiste and I was dying to have her teach me and become her apprentice. We originally had a grand plan: a multi-tiered cake chronicling our friendship but we eventually ended up with a simpler plan complete with two layers of yellow butter cake and buttercream icing.

The cake kind of fell apart...

but only just a little bit

The pretty pastels we chose to grace our cake

The tools of the baking trade

Icing the cake...

Little did we know the icing would be 1 inch thick

I wasn't that talented at making flowers, but I was the queen of dots

and I put dots all over that sucker

The gorgeous finished product

Abigail's mom had the great idea to have us personalize the cake and sign it. So we obliged:

After this successful try at cake decorating, I think Coco and I are ready to start our business. Look out for our future sassy cake show demonstrating our skills and creativity. Perhaps we'll call it "It's Just Icing on the Cake" or maybe something dirtier. I'm still undecided.
