It's like Butta

Another important lesson learned. Butter flavored Crisco is also butter colored. I thought the butter flavoring would make it taste better, right? I couldn't really tell a difference in taste, and it gave my icing a buttery yellow color.

This cake was also a mid-week practice cake. I found the design in our book and tried to copy it. After it was decorated, I noticed the cake in the book was a 10-inch cake, mine is an 8-inch. So, that's why my flowers were all mushed together and look more like amoebas than pretty flowers. Oh, and they used cookie cutters for their design, mine is freehand. I didn't have enough icing in one color to use for the bottom border, so I mixed all of them together in the bag and created a purple, yellow, pinkish star border. Kinda cool, but I wouldn't have done it on purpose.

Although full of learning experiences, it doesn't look awful. I tried a few pieces before I threw it away. Found out another thing: don't buy white vanilla cake mix. Not so good.
