This was my attempt at 'stacking'. I made this for our Easter family party and used the same technique with the basket weave and flowers. This was a 8in round double bottom and 6in round double top.

Basket Weave
This was my first attempt at the basket weave and Royal Icing Flowers. This is an oval, two-tiered, coconut cake with coconut filling and almond buttercream. All the flowers (and birds)were piped using Royal Icing (very hard and crunchy).

Clown Cake...
This was a practice cake. 8in round, lemon cake with lemon buttercream. Since having cakes every week was getting, well...pretty FATTY, I made this one for my neices Lexi and Maddie, and nephew Payton.

The Small Print...
I love cake...I mean come on, who doesn't? But I have recently discovered that not only eating them brings me joy but making and decorating them does as well! So I've taken some classes, will be taking more, and am starting this fun hobby of cake decorating. I am still very much a novice, an amatuer, prematurely talented, but I love it and if you ever find yourself needing a cake, I may just be your gal. Enjoy!
