A nurse at my work asked me to make a cake for her daughter's bday...so I said yes....the theme? Dogs.
I haven't made a cake from scratch nor decorated one for awhile now... so honestly this is my first cake after a long hiatus....and it shows.....look at the border!!
Here is the end result...very amateurish!! Especially when I look at all the cakes on all the different blogs...
PUH-LEEEZE!!....I need to practice practice practice and oh yeah....PRACTICE!!!
I didnt have another cake board except for this one...Rule #1: make sure you have everything you need and plan ahead!!
How ugly and old is this board??? hahahaha
Oh and I could have attempted another border but at that point I was seriously running out of time and needed to finish.....in the end my co-worker and her daughter LOVED it and she said everyone at the party said it was delicious and I got an order from one of her guests to make a bday cake for her son...so I am happy that they were happy!!! But this definately gives me the desire to jump back into the 21st Century of cake decorating and learn all I can, get more organized and really become a spectacular decorator.........Friday I am planning on making a batch of cupcakes and maybe decorate some cookies...

The cake looks great! I have yet to try anything as elaborate as this. Nice job!
Well, for not having made one recently, I think you did a great job! How did you form the dog? My daughter loves dogs and it would be fun to surprise her with one!
As someone who has NEVER decorated a cake, I am blown away! I think you are holding yourself to an extremely high standard -- which is great, but please don't be too hard on yourself if you don't live up to it. I bet your cake customers will be as impressed as I am!
Lovely cake. Welcome to TWD!
