Graduation Cake

This cake was made for a friend's graduation party. With double chocolate cake and almond buttercream the large cake was delicious and seemed to be enjoyed at the party!

Getting Started

After watching women in my family cook and bake for 18 years, I decided to make a very simple pumpkin cake while at home from college one weekend. Despite my lack of experience and disinterest in cake baking and decorating, I found a new hobby that day in October. I didn't make my next cake for about 7 months. Just a few months and my first tier cake later I was hooked on cake decorating.

I have come to really enjoy decorating many different kinds of cakes from tiered cakes to character cakes to some difficult specialty cakes using buttercream icings. Finally I identified cake decorating as a passion of mine and signed up for two cake decorating classes through Wilton to refine my icing skills and learn specific techniques using fondant and gum paste.

I am truely excited to see what every new day and occassion brings to help me learn as much as possible. All cakes posted on this blog are cakes I have made. I appriciate any comments and tips you may have.
