Have your cake and eat it too.

Well, somehow I have gotten involved in cake decorating. Actually, last year a friend of mine asked me to make her wedding cake. Of course I laughed because I had never done such a thing. I love to bake and I have baked hundreds of cookies, but cookies a cake do not make. She insisted that I could do it so I agreed to it. I solicited the help of my good friend Nona Kim from La Palma, CA and we made a 4 layer cake and 3 separate cakes that sat around the main cake. It was hard work, but we did it. The cakes turned out beautifully. Unfortunately, I lost the picture that I had. Anyway, before this a another friend of mine, Randy, from Canada had given me some tips and allowed me to help him make an extravagant cake for a 15th birthday celebration. Here in Mexico it's like a mini wedding. Then a fellow missionary Patti Coles bought some supplies for me and showed me a few things. So I decided since I had some tools I should use them. While I was home in May I decided to take a cake decorating class. I failed to take a picture of my first cake, but here is a picture of my second one.
