Practice Cake

So for the past year I have been really into decorating cakes...I have not done much with decorating cakes, mainly just watching cake decorating shows and wishing I could do what they do.  So I thought to myself why not do what they do?  So thats exactly what I am going to be doing.  My lovely niece (well my sister) has agreed to let me make her 6th birthday cake this month.  Since she is totally into Tinkerbell I told her I would make her a Tinkerbell cake.  Here is my practice cake to get an idea of what I should do.  So thats why its not done all the way and no Tinkerbell on it yet.  I used gumpaste and Luster Dust for the flowers, fondant for the grass, and buttercream frosting for the main frosting!  I might say it was a delicious cake!  I had my sister and her girls come look at it to let me know if thats the direction they wanted it to go and my niece absolutely loved it!  That made me so happy!  I love decorating cakes and hope my family totally doesn't mind me makin their b-day cakes for practice!  (PS it was not supposed to be completely smooth on the frosting if anyone was wondering).

Good Job, Brit! It's awesome. It is so fun, huh? I LOVED making Covey's big bday cake. So, how did you get all your posts to be separated like that? I like it.

Great work! Creating is so much fun. How did you make your buttercream? I never seem to like the taste of mine...
